Marcus said, "If we don't bring this out in the open, if we don't put the person who tried to harm you behind bars, someone might use some falsehoods to attack you, me, and our Hartley Group.
By putting out the video now, we not only solve the problem at hand, no one will be able to use this against you in the future."
Marcus spoke with such persuasive conviction, but Cornelia was still a bit concerned, "This won't affect you, will it?"
Marcus gently stroked her slender waist, drawing her into his arms, "Cornelia, are you underestimating your husband?"
Cornelia, "What?"
He added, "Your husband is not only Jeremy, but also Marcus."
In the past, Marcus was invincible in Cornelia's eyes, and there was no problem in the world he couldn't solve. When she first started working with him, she was a bit intimidated by the rumors about him, always worried he would resort to some underhanded methods.
Now he was still the formidable president of the Hartley Group, Marcus. Just because he had taken on the role of her husband, she had seen a vulnerable side of him that he had never shown to others, and she started to care and worry about him more.
She snuggled into his sturdy embrace, "Because I care about you."
Marcus, "All you need to do is believe in me."
Cornelia nodded vigorously, "Okay."
