Marcus took out his phone and scrolled to a contact marked "that woman" but hesitated to call the number.
He worried that once he dialed, it wouldn't be Cornelia who answered...
Under Ryan's urging, Marcus finally made the call.
The moment the phone was connected, he looked up and stared at Cornelia not far away, praying silently in his heart, hoping that Cornelia would answer his call. The phone rang a few times, and
and while he was waiting nervously, he saw Cornelia take her phone out of her bag. A familiar female voice came through the speaker, "Mr. Artis, I'm here. Are you guys here yet?"
Marcus didn't dare respond and hung up quickly. Then he said to Ryan, "Give me the marriage certificate."
Ryan took it out of the file bag and handed it to him.
In the photo on the marriage certificate, Cornelia was wearing his familiar white shirt, even her bun hairstyle hadn't changed.
After a brief moment of surprise, a wave of joy surged in Marcus's heart...
For the first time, he felt his heart beating so fast, as if it would burst through his chest.
She turned out to be his wife! His little assistant turned out to be his legal wife! He was the only man who could legitimately own her! No matter what she was thinking or whose child she was carrying, it couldn't change the fact that she was his wife.
Marcus suppressed his inner joy and quickly made a call, "I want all the information on Cornelia and everyone around her within an hour."
