"Bitch?" Marcus looked at Courtney with an icy stare as if looking at a stranger. No one could tell that they were mother and son.
When Marcus looked at Courtney, she couldn't even lock eyes with him.
This man before her was her son. The one she had given birth to after carrying him for ten months. She hadn't cared for him since he was young, so they were estranged. He was nothing like her.
"Everyone has the right to criticize her, but not you. I know what you did all these years. And if you mess with my people again, I don't mind showing you what I'm capable of." With that, Marcus turned and left. Spending another second with Courtney would make him nauseous.
"Marc, did you come all this way today just to warn me not to get close to your assistant?" Courtney said, testing her son.
Marcus didn't answer her, but Courtney got the answer she wanted anyway.
He had not heard her entire conversation with Helena. If he knew his wife and assistant were the same person, he wouldn't act like this right now.
Maybe he didn't have feelings for his assistant. He came to look for her only because she had reached out to his people.
He was similar to her - even if he had to discard his things, he would never give them to others.
As soon as Marcus left, Courtney returned to her arrogant posture. "Willy, he knows we're going after his little assistant. Handle this discreetly, and don't involve us."
Willy respectfully replied, "Don't worry, ma'am. I've already arranged everything. She brought this upon herself, so today, we'll make her leave Riverton in the most humiliating way possible."
When Cornelia returned to the city, it was already 3 PM.
