Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband
Chapter 1557

Chapter 1557 

If Jeremy hadn’t pulled through during that period, he would no longer exist in this world. 

Courtney, “I already admitted my mistakes from before, so why can’t you let go? Let me tell you one more time, no matter what, I am the one who gave life to Marc.” 

Giving life meant taking responsibility for a life, not abandoning it, let alone allowing it to suffer such harm. Cornelia became more annoyed as she thought about it. “Some parents are simply not qualified to be parents. You trash parents treat your children like your property. Once you have a child, you control everything about them. You keep them when you want, discard them when you don’t, and even harm them cruelly. You never realize that a child is not your property and not an object. A child is an independent living individual. A child’s life belongs to the child alone, and no one has the right to control it.” 

Courtney, “What are you talking about? How could he be my property? Look at his temperament, he dealt with his own father so ruthlessly. How could ! control him?” 

Cornelia felt uncomfortable listening to her and remained silent. 

Courtney, however, kept on babbling, as if she had finally found someone to vent to about Jeremy. “He’s an emotionless, cold-blooded creature…” 

Cornelia cut Courtney off coldly. “From what I know about my husband, he is a dutiful and kind person. Do you not know what Brennen has done? He hurt Marc so much. Isn’t Marc allowed to fight back?”e? 

What kind of person Jeremy really was didn’t matter to Courtney. What mattered was whether Cornelia could help her make amends with Jeremy and get what she wanted. “Yes, Marc is a dutiful son. He listens to you very well. You should persuade him to forgive his mother.” 

Cornelia, “Whether he forgives you or not, only he can decide. I can’t possibly help you persuade him to do something against his will.” 

Courtney, “So you’re not going to help me?” 

Cornelia, “I won’t.” 

Courtney, “Why won’t you help me? Do you want to monopolize him?” 

Cornelia was speechless at the shameless woman. 

Courtney continued to throw accusations at Cornelia. “You’re his wife. I can understand that you want more of his love, but you can never change the fact that he’s my son. A smart woman would advise her husband to get along well with his mother, not sow discord like you do.” 

Cornelia wanted to swear, but she held her tongue. 

When her gentle approach didn’t work, Courtney quickly turned nasty. “Don’t think that because I’m nice to you, you can take advantage. You’re just a woman that the Hartley family brought in, you can never be a Hartley.” 

Cornelia laughed. “Who wants to be a Hartley? My husband’s surname is Artis, and he has nothing to do with you! 

Courtney, “Don’t try to change the subject. No matter what surname Marc has, I’m his blood relative. And you, you’re just one woman among thousands. It’s as easy for him to replace you as it is to change a shirt: No matter how much he resists me, it won’t change the fact that we are mother and son, and it won’t change the fact that he is flesh of my flesh. What can you use to compete with me? Cornelia, you need to understand your place.” 

Cornelia looked at Courtney, thinking about the harm this woman had done to Jeremy, and her anger began flaring. “Are you worthy?” “Cornelia, if you don’t help me, I won’t have good days, and neither will you.” Suddenly, Courtney fell to her knees. “Cornelia, I beg you, let me see my son know he loves you and dotes on you, but you can’t prevent a mother and son from meeting.” 

Cornelia knew what game Courtney was playing, but she was prepared and not fooled. She allowed Courtney to continue, curious to see what tricks she would pull next. In no time at all, Courtney stood up. “You little brat, you think you can play with me? You’re still too green.” 

Cornelia chuckled. “Are you planning to use public opinion against me?” 

Courtney, “You’re a smart woman. Everyone knows you’re the wife of the CEO of the Artis Group now. If I were to release the videó just now, you’d be drowned in a sea of criticism from netizens.”
