"Thanks for backing me up, Granny Rebecca! From now on, you just focus on getting better, and don't worry about Cornelia, I'll take good care of her." Marcus finally felt a weight lifted off his chest after getting Granny Rebecca's support.
Granny Luisa said, "You can't let him off the hook so easily."
Granny Rebecca chuckled, "It's not up to us to decide anyway. Let the youngsters handle their own matters. We don't have many years left, so let's not worry too much."
"Alright, we'll stay out of it." Granny Luisa then warned Marcus, "But you, young man, if you ever dare to mistreat Nelly again, I'll be the first one to come after you."
"Don't worry, nothing like that will happen again." After saying goodbye to the two old ladies, Marcus hurried back to Riverton.
On the way back, Ayden noticed that Marcus looked off, "President Hartley, you don't look so good. What's wrong?"
Marcus pressed his stomach and leaned back in his seat, "It's nothing, just head straight to the airport."
Ayden didn't ask any further but discreetly contacted Dr. Dawson.
After a night's rest, Cornelia rushed to the airport early in the morning, as she was flying to the Capital with Marcus to attend the 3033 Global Technology Conference.
This conference was crucial for the Hartley Group's chip research and development sector, and both Marcus and the R&D team took it very seriously.
What Cornelia didn't expect was that the usually punctual Marcus almost arrived late, and she only spotted him at the very last moment before boarding ended.
Seeing that he looked unwell, she immediately asked a flight attendant for a cup of hot water, "President Hartley, you look pale. Please drink a glass of water first."
