Chapter 189 

Billy said, “Ma’am, I’ve given it some thought Instead of saying President Hartley is charmed, it’s more like he wants to take responsibility for that person You know Hartley’s personality very well, he either doesn’t do something, or he does it to the best of his ability Marriage should be the same for him. Since he promised the old lady hed marry, he’ll definately take responsibility for his wife” 

Really?Courtney didn’t dare to claim she truly understood him

During the crisis the Hartley family was facing, everyone thought the family power would fall into other people’s hands. However, Marcus, who was still underage, bravely stood up and took back the family power in a flash 

No one saw it coming, not even her, his mother

Billy nodded, That’s what I believe” 

Courtney scoffed. The Hartleys have ambition in their bones, they have dreams, but they lack a sense of responsibility for their wives. His father never thought of taking responsibility for 

me his wife” 

Billy continued, He wasn’t responsible to you, but in the past few decades, he has cherished that woman. That’s another kind of responsibility, I guess.” 

Courtney’s face turned cold, You’re even making excuses for him” 

Billy hurnedly explained, Ma’am, I’m not making excuses for him, I just don’t want to see you upset over these things. His heart was never with you, and yours wasn’t with him either Over the years, you both lived separate lives, not bothering each other.” 

Even though this was common knowledge, hearing Billy say it so bluntly still made Courtney feel uncomfortable 

So I’m just supposed to roll over and admit defeat?Courtney knew she couldn’t win her husband’s heart, nor control Marcus’s fate, she was just not willing to admit defeat

Billy said. Maam, there’s something I’m not sure if I should say.” 

Courtney looked out the window at the snow, Go ahead.” 

Billy said, President Hartley is your biological son. No matter who he marries, no matter how good he is to that woman, it can’t change the fact that he’s your son. Why are you torturing yourself like this?” 

Ah, I’m torturing myself?No, she wasn’t torturing herself, she was just fed up with the Hartley family getting better and better, everyone living better lives than her. While her family, the Kamps, were gradually declining 

She wasn’t willing to admit defeat, but reality forced her to accept failure, Fine, since I’m no match for Marc, I guess I’ll just have to accept it. But that woman named Cornelia, she’ll never get my approval

Billy didnt say anything more, but he knew very well that Marcus hadn’t even mentioned his marriage to Courtney, whether she accepted his wife or not, he probably didn’t care 

The snow outside was getting heavier and the heating in the room wasn’t enough to dispel the chill in Courtney’s heart

Hospital 

It was almost dawn, and Marcus was still by Cornelia’s side, not leaving for a moment. Dr. Dawson was a little worried, after some thought, she decided to enter the room, Marc, you should go rest a bit, I’ll watch over Cornelia.” 

Marcus didn’t respond, his eyes could only see Cornelia on the bed, any outside noise couldn’t reach his ears, no one could enter his sight

Dr. Dawson called out a couple times, but didn’t get any response. She didn’t dare to forcefully pull him away, and in the end she could only leave the ward helplessly 

Ayden was keeping vigil outside the ward, he saw Dr. Dawson came out with her head down, Mom, is Ms. Stewart okay?” 

Dr. Dawson replied. Cornelia will be fine once she wakes up, I’m worried about Marc” 

Ayden was very puzzled, What happened to President Hartley?”
