Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 278

Cornelia immediately dove into studying the ancient painting, trying to figure out who the artist was and whether it was original or a copy. She needed to dig up all the dirt on it so she could help Marcus snatch it up at the best price.

In the midst of Cornelia's hustle, Ava came over with fruits and all sorts of fancy desserts, "Cornelia, work is important, but remember to take a breather and chow down on some fruits and sweets."

Cornelia was a bit exasperated, "Thanks Ava, but you didn't have to whip up these snacks. I'm not really peckish."

Ava chuckled, "No worries. Even if you're not hungry, give them a try."

"Alright then." Cornelia reluctantly tried a piece of dessert. It was kickin' and melted instantly in her mouth.

Seeing Cornelia take a shine to the dessert, Ava took note, planning to make the same for Cornelia next time she visits.

Once Cornelia wrapped up the auction business, she dashed off to contact Trent Brown. Trent had a brand-new renovation plan ready, but he needed Cornelia's green light before he could carry on with it.

Cornelia opened the 3D rendering sent by Trent Brown, and with just a glance, she knew his services would come at a considerable price. His design proposal exuded simplicity and elegance, unlike anything she had come across online. Every detail was meticulously crafted to perfection.

Cornelia replied, "Mr. Brown, this design rendering is exceptional, and I truly admire it. However, can you assure me that you can achieve this level of excellence in the actual execution?"

Trent Brown responded, "You find this design proposal impressive already? Hold off on making a decision for now. Let me develop another proposal, and then you can make your selection."

Cornelia replied, "Very well."

Cornelia had limited knowledge about interior design. She had only heard that one should be attentive when dealing with renovations, as there was a risk of being deceived by construction companies. However, since Trent Brown came recommended by Jeremy, Cornelia believed that if Jeremy trusted him, he wouldn't have introduced him to her casually.

She placed her trust in Jeremy and was willing to extend that trust to the designer he recommended. She decided to entrust Trent Brown with full responsibility for the future renovations, allowing her to have peace of mind.

She spent another night at the Celestial Chateau villa. At 10 a.m. the next day, Cornelia, Marcus, and Briana were ready to jet off to Harbor City.

Cornelia took the initiative to place the siblings in the front row and sat herself in the row behind.

She found the arrangement to be perfectly reasonable, but for some reason, she couldn't shake the feeling that Marcus's gaze towards her was somewhat peculiar, as if he was dissatisfied with her decisions.

However, Cornelia didn't dwell on it too much. She took a seat and a man wearing sunglasses sat down on her left.

Cornelia didn't pay much attention to the unfamiliar man, but she had a lingering sense that his gaze was fixed on her. She turned her head to look at him, and the man removed his sunglasses, smiling as he extended his hand towards her. "Hello, beautiful!"
