Chapter 68
Cornell had been busy these past few days, exhausted both mentally and physically.”
He had to take care of Margot who might get into trouble at any time.
He also had to find ways to hide his relationship with Margot from his parents.
The most difficult thing was that my family, the Wijnbergens, withdrew our investment, causing the Leanders‘ capital flow to be cut off and the construction of the new branch which was supposed to be opened was suspended and put on hold.”
He had planned to question me about what was going on.
But whenever he thought of my last helpless smile in the hospital, he hesitated again and again.”
He even said to the bottom of his heart. I really went too far this time, Hailey should still be angry at me.”
If I go find her now, she will definitely take the opportunity to bully me and make me apologize to her.>>
That’s absolutely impossible. I have to leave her alone for a few days, otherwise she will take advantage of me.
“Cornell.” Margot leaned weakly against the bed, her face as pale as paper after vomiting. “Aren’t you going to pick up Hailey today?”
He casually curled the corners of his mouth and responded, “It’s not urgent.”
He knew me too well.
Even if he didn’t pick me up today, 1 would come back on my own sooner or later.
Just like every cold war in the past, I always gave in first.
Just
Hearing his words, Margot’s eyes lit up and a hint of blush appeared on her pale cheeks.
Immediately after, Tiffany suddenly called and said, “Cornell! The Wijnbergens sent us an invitation. Hailey is getting married today!“}} “Getting married?” Cornell clenched his phone tightly and asked her mother, “With whom?“}
He already told her that the wedding would be postponed for a year, how could she possibly… who else could she marry besides him?? After a brief panic, he quickly regained his composure. “Mom, she’s just throwing a tantrum, it’s just a prank, don’t take it seriously.“} Tiffany was a little anxious. “I’ve sent you the wedding photos and the venue, go and have a look! If she really dares to betray you and get married with someone else, I will make the Wijnbergens a mess.“}
The man’s fingers trembled as he clicked open the photos.
On the screen, the wedding procession, composed of the world’s limited edition pink Phantoms, was particularly dazzling and eye–catching.
was standing beside the car in a white veil, holding flowers in my hands and smiling brightly.
To his surprise, his phone fell to the ground with a bang.
His heart felt like it was being gripped and squeezed until he could hardly breathe.}
“Cornell?” Margot tugged at his sleeve worriedly. “You look so paie, are you okay?“}
He shook his head stiffly and pursed his lips.
“She must be mad at you!” She chuckled. “She loves you so much, how could she marry someone else? For so many years, I have never seen her approach other men, so it’s impossible for her to get married so quickly.”
Unable to hear what she said clearly, he stood still and felt at a loss for the first time.
In a panic, he grabbed his phone and dialed my number.
[Hello, the number you dialed cannot be connected at the moment.]}
The automatic female voice was like a bucket of ice water poured over his head.}
He trembled and clicked on his WhatsApp, only to find that his number had been blocked a long time ago.
“Hailey! How dare you!”
Cornell angrily smashed his phone against the wall, causing the screen to shatter in an instant.
He was about to rush out the door,
But Margot suddenly grabbed his hem, her face pale. “Cornell, I… I feel like vomiting again, can you buy me some oranges?”
A nameless flame suddenly surged up in his heart.
