That incident caused a huge stir in Rosenberg. Clair could easily dig up some dirt on Cornelia if she wanted to.
As time went by, many in Rosenberg still had a negative opinion of Cornelia. Some even badmouthed her without knowing the full story, labeling her a homewrecker.
Last time her grandma fell ill, Cornelia returned to Rosenberg. Even in the hospital restroom, she could hear people gossiping about that incident. If Clair wanted to find some "witnesses" to blame her, it wouldn't be too hard.
If things really came to that…
Cornelia wasn't going to sit around and wait for disaster to strike. She had to stop Clair.
So, Cornelia dialed the number of the head of PR at the Hartley Group, "There might be someone trying to stir up a scandal involving me. Could you keep an eye on it for me?"
Hilary replied, "Your problems are my problems. Don’t sweat it. I'll keep a close watch on the situation. I won’t let anyone smear your name."
Cornelia said, "Thanks! I'll treat you to a meal when I have time."
Hilary said, "We're friends. No need for formalities. Been anywhere fun lately?"
Cornelia said, "I've been working like a dog, always at President Hartley's side. I'm beat. When I get a few days off, I just want to stay home and sleep."
Hilary said, "Same here. Always think about going out during work. But when I'm on vacation, there's nothing like my own bed."
Cornelia laughed, "We're both workaholics."
After chatting with Hilary for a while, Cornelia ended the call.
