Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 579

Just ended a video call, and Cornelia's WhatsApp got a new friend request.

She clicked it right away. It was a friend request from Natalia, who she had deleted before. There was a message attached, "Cornelia, seems like my mom is planning something against you. I can't stop her, so just watch your back."

Her mom was about to make a move on a stranger, and she even came to warn this stranger.

Cornelia suddenly thought Natalia could be quite sweet at times. She accepted her friend request, added her back, and asked: [Why does your mom wanna mess with me? Just because you wanna be friends with me?]

Natalia sent a flurry of messages: [She doesn't need a reason to mess with someone. Cornelia, my phone will be confiscated soon. You must remember what I'm gonna tell you next. Today, I heard my mom talking on the phone with a stranger. I didn't pay much attention, until she mentioned your name, saying she wants to kick you out of Riverton. I don't know how she's gonna do it, but I gotta warn you. She's pretty ruthless, and never leaves a way out for herself. You gotta be on guard in the coming days. I don't want you to be kicked out."

Cornelia frowned: [Your mom wants to kick me out of Riverton?]

Was Clair really that vindictive?

Just because she didn't like Clair's arrogant attitude and spoke against her a couple of times, Clair was planning to kick her out of Riverton?

Natalia replied: [Yes, and she seems pretty confident about it. Cornelia, maybe you should ask Marc for help. If Marc is willing to help you, my mom definitely can't touch you.]

Mentioning Marcus, Cornelia quickly realized the crux of the matter.

Clair knew she was Marcus’ assistant, knowing that she was not someone anyone could touch. Yet, Clair was still confident about kicking her out of town, there must be something fishy.

But Cornelia couldn't figure out exactly what it was.

Natalia sent another long message: [Once, someone tried to seduce my dad. I saw my mom abort that woman's child, then got rid of her. She's really ruthless. Even thinking about it now scares me. You must be careful.]

Natalia was as anxious as an ant on a hot tin roof. But Cornelia was completely calm, and asked an irrelevant question: [Why did you lie to me?]

Natalia: [I didn't lie to you, it's true. My mom really wants to harm you.]

Cornelia: [I was asking why you lied to me about sleeping with Marcus?]

Natalia paused for a few seconds before replying: [Since you already know, I won't hide it. That day was all a hoax set up by Mr. Rivera from the Capital. I've never even held Marc's hand, let alone sleep with him. But now is not the time for this, I'll tell you more when I get a chance. Today, I contacted you to warn you to be careful of my mom.]

What Natalia said was almost identical to Cornelia's guess. She said: [You can tell me now. I want to know the specifics of that day.]

Natalia replied: [That day, Mr. Rivera had me made up to look like you and meet Marc. The makeup artists were so skilled that even I thought I was you when I looked in the mirror. When I met Marc, the room was dimly lit. He was not only drunk but also drugged. He naturally mistook me for you. Then Mr. Rivera arranged for us to go back to the room to rest. When I was helping Marc undress, he suddenly opened his eyes and asked me who I was. My cover was blown and then he left with his people. Marc hadn't been gone long when Mr. Rivera brought in another man. I was startled when I saw him, thinking Marc had come back. Because the man's face was exactly like Marc's. But his height was off, so I inferred he wasn't Marc. He must have been made up to look like Marc by the makeup artist, just like me.]
