Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband
Chapter 1301

Chapter 1301 

Tahlia’s bun in the oven was already taking shape, which meant she had been knocked up for more than three months. In other words, Marcus and Tahlia had been doing the horizontal mambo before she even divorced Marcus. 

Before, Cornelia had always thought Marcus was a stand up guy. Even if he had the hots for Tahlia, he wouldn’t have crossed the line. Turned out, all of that was just her wishful thinking She was a silly goose. 

A strong wave of nausea swept over her, Comelia dashed to the bathroom like a bat out of hell, heaving her guts out over the toilet, vomiting her lunch. Feeling wiped out from hurling, she couldn’t stop. It felt like she was throwing up her guts. 

Grandpa Augustine was worried sick, “Nelly, I’m taking you to the hospital right now.” 

Cornelia shook her head, picking herself up off the floor, “Grandpa, let’s go to the Capital together.” 

Grandpa Augustine asked, “Why the sudden urge to go to the Capital?” 

Cornelia tried to force a smile, “I’ve suddenly got a bad taste in my mouth for this city and this place. I’m ready to make tracks.” 

Grandpa Augustine didn’t know what Cornelia had heard over the phone, “Nelly, did Marc really…” 

Comelia said, “Grandpa, let’s hit the road. I can’t stand to be here another second.” 

Grandpa Augustine said, “Alright.” 

Cornelia split without even telling Abigail and Zack, nor seeing Hannah who just got back to Riverton. 

After Cornelia left Riverton, the real shenanigans in Riverton were just starting. 

There were a ton of rumors online about how Marcus kicked the bucket, including illness, car crash, food poisoning, and some other outlandish reasons. 

When Brennen heard the news of Marcus‘ passing, he was not amused, “Who let the cat out of the bag about Marcus kicking the bucket? I knew his days were numbered, but I didn’t expect him to check out now. He’s left such a big mess.” 

Among the dozen or so people in the meeting room, no one piped up. 

Brennen let out a string of expletives, “What a bunch of deadbeats the Hartley Group has raised. When push comes to shove, there’s not a single useful one among you.” Brennen took over the Hartley Group less than a month ago, and under his leadership, the Hartley Group went downhill fast. The once mighty empire was now on the verge of collapse. 

Instead of feeling the glory of being the CEO of the Hartley Group, Brennen was dealing with all sorts of headaches every day. The Hartley Group’s numerous employees and shareholders all wished Marcus could take back the reins. Because everyone believed as long as Marcus was kicking and he was willing to come back to the Hartley 

Group, there was still hope for the company. 

That was why the Group’s stock market could still barely hold on, it hadn’t totally crashed. 

But unexpectedly, at this critical moment, the news of Marcus‘ death broke out. As soon as the news came out, Hartley Group’s stock took a nosedive. Everything was in chaos, including all the subsidiaries under the Hartley Group.
