Cornelia was puzzled. Why did people naturally blame the woman when a man and a woman were together, assuming it was the woman who seduced the man?
In a relationship, it was impossible for only one person to do something wrong. It was a mistake made by two people together, and both should be blamed, so why did people only blame the woman?
Yolanda was so angry her face turned red. "Cornelia, how can you say such outrageous things!"
Cornelia didn't have particularly close colleagues at work. She was somewhat close with Yolanda, but not close enough to share everything with her. If Yolanda thought she was outrageous, then so be it.
Cornelia turned to leave, but Yolanda got desperate. "Cornelia, aren't you afraid I'll make the video public and let everyone in the company see your true colors?"
Cornelia turned back and smiled slightly. "If you dared to release the video, you would have done it already. Why would you wait till now? So, what's your real agenda?"
Cornelia's calm demeanor made Yolanda doubt herself for a moment. "Is there something going on between you and President Hartley? Did he force you? If so, tell me, and I'll delete the video and never bring it up again."
But when Yolanda began to accuse Marcus, Cornelia wouldn't have it. "He never forced me. Everything was voluntary."
"So, there's no misunderstanding," Yolanda said. "You're a homewrecker."
Cornelia neither admitted nor denied it. She was satisfied seeing Yolanda's rage.
"Rumors about you seducing other women's husbands back in your hometown are all over the internet, and it seems you haven't changed," Yolanda said.
Cornelia laughed coldly.
"Why don't you respect yourself, even though you have the ability?" Yolanda asked.
