Upon seeing the transferred amount on his phone, Diviner Damian's eyes lit up with joy, "Thanks guys! If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask."
Ayden warned, "You can't spill a word to anyone else about this."
Diviner Damian assured, "Don't worry, my lips are sealed."
Ayden dismissed him, "You can go now."
Diviner Damian left beaming with joy.
Ayden turned to Marcus, "President Hartley, your plan worked like a charm. Granny Luisa already had Bri call you back."
Marcus responded, "I should head back. Keep your eyes on Robison. We can't afford him stirring up trouble."
"Roger that!" As Ayden's gaze shifted behind Marcus, his face suddenly paled, "President Hartley, your wife is coming..."
Cornelia is here?!
Marcus stiffened up a bit, turning around to see Cornelia approaching.
"President Hartley, I'm gonna bounce!" Ayden vanished into the night, leaving Marcus standing alone in the wind.
Marcus felt a bit flustered, yet kept his cool, "What brings you down here?"
Cornelia asked directly, "How much did you pay Diviner Damian to say those things?"
Knowing Cornelia's sharp wit, Marcus knew there was no fooling her, so he didn't hold back, "I only dropped a few grand."
