Cornelia dove into her grandma’s arms and snuggled up. “Granny, Lain’t gonna cry for those jerks”
“Nelly, looks like you’ve really grown up” Granny gently patted her back “Nelly, can you help me sell the house? Let’s move to Riverton and never come back to this crappy place
But, Granny “Cornelia looked up at her grandma This was where her grandma was born and worked. It was her roots.
If they sold the house her grandma wouldn’t have a home anymore.
Granny ruffled her har. “There’s nothing more important to me than my Nelly. Wherever Nelly is, that’s my home”
Cornelia (et the same way Where her grandma was, that was her home
But they couldn’t sell the house. They had to leave a way out for Granny
The next day they left for Riverton.
Zack and Abigail came to meet them at the airport.
Zack said with concern, Cornelia’s too strong for her own good. She wants to handle everything herself, and she won’t let us help her.”
They were worried that Cornelia would be bullied in Rosenberg, so they originally planned to go back with her. But Cornelia insisted on going alone, so they didn’t
“She’s asking for it!” Abigail said through gritted teeth, but tears were in her eyes. “Her grandma’s come to Riverton, and she can’t hide the fact that her lousy husband wants a divorce. wonder what she’ll do then?”
Zack rolled his eyes at her, “You’ve been mad for days. Aren’t you over it yet?”

“Granny, it’s your first time in Riverton, right? When you’re feeling better, well take you around “Zack pushed Granny Rebecca out first, trying to divert her attention.
Cornelia and Abigail were pushing luggage behind them. Abigail pinched Cornelia hard, “You knew it was dangerous for you to go back to Rosenberg, but you didn’t let us go with you What if you got bullied again?”

Marcus had just returned to Riverton from the Capital after attending the Rivera family’s wedding anniversary celebration. His luxury car happened to pass by and he saw a familiar slender figure.
He didn’t know his assistant had such a cute side.
“President Hartley, isn’t that Cornelia?” Ben also spotted Cornelia and waved at her with a smile. “Cornelia, what a coincidence to run into you here.”
Hearing her name, Cornelia looked up and saw Ben and Marcus’s car. She thought she should go up and say hello.
As Marcus watched Cornelia approach, he could see her more clearly with each step. Only when she was closer did he notice that she looked a bit tired.
He wanted to ask if she was feeling unwell, but then he heard her say, “Hello, President Hartley! Hi, Ben!”
Her voice returned to its usual tone when she was at work, showing no sign of vulnerability.
Marcus nodded and looked away
