Jeremy's explanation was so thorough that Cornelia was over the moon, "I get it now."
Jeremy replied, "Cornelia, thanks for your unwavering trust in me."
Cornelia retorted, "We're husband and wife, if I can't trust you, who else can I trust?"
Hearing her words, Marcus was grinning from ear to ear, he was so delighted that he didn't know what to do next.
After Marcus confirmed his feelings, Cornelia felt a lot more stable, "Mr. Trent Brown, saying things like that not only tarnishes Jeremy's reputation, but how do you think your wife would feel if she heard about it?"
Mentioning his wife, Trent quickly changed his tune, "I was just joking around, don't take it to heart. Let's go, show me your house."
Abigail and Zack asked with a hint of suspicion, "Nelly, you really believe he was just joking?"
Cornelia replied, "Of course I believe him."
Seeing Cornelia's unwavering trust in Jeremy, Abigail and Zack didn't say anything more.
The three of them took Trent to inspect the house, only to find someone already waiting, "Ms. Stewart, I'm the inspector sent by President Hartley."
Cornelia said, "Please, go ahead."
"You're welcome." The inspector took out a bunch of tools and left them on the balcony, then started inspecting each room.
Trent, casual as he may be, was very professional when it came to work. He started measuring the dimensions of the house with the floor plan in hand.
