Chapter 1039

Marcus held Comelia tight, “Yeah.”

Comella snuggled up comfortably in his arms, “I’m feeling a lot better now, I need to go take a shower and then we can hit the hay. Tomorrow, I’ll go with you back

to the office.”

Marcus immediately picked her up, “Allow me.”

Comelia quickly pushed him away, “I’m on my period.”

Marcus said, “What weird stuff are you thinking about? Would I disregard your condition?”

Comelia blushed and buried her head in his chest.

She wasn’t overthinking, it was just that his behavior the night before was too undslial, even more ferocious than a beast. It scared her, so that was why she reacted like that. However, Marcus showed Cornelia through his actions that he was just genuinely helping her shower, with no other intentions.

After the shower, laying on the soft bed, Comelia quickly fell asleep. With Marcus by her side, she slept really soundly this time, no more nightmares.

Marcus watched her peaceful sleeping face for a long time, then bent over to kiss her forehead. He then stood up, took his phone, and went out to the living room balcony He dialed a number, “Speak”

Jayden’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “President Hartley, we found out. The real Clair died twenty years ago when she gave birth to Natalia.”

Marcus adjusted his glasses, a sharp murderous intent flashed in his eyes, “(need concrete evidence.”

Jayden said, “We probably can’t find her remains.”

Marcus asked, “What do you mean?”

A simple question, but it brought a strong pressure

Jayden quickly explained, “We found Hank, used some methods, and learned that the current Clair is actually the real Clair’s twin sister.”

Marcus said, “Clair had a twin sister? Why didn’t you guys find out before?”

Jayden explained, “No one considered this before, and only a few people know about it. One is the current Clair, one is Hank, and possibly Granger”

Marcus said, “Explain in detail.”

Jayden continued, “Hank is a punk, knows a lot of people, and isn’t afraid of death. We couldn’t get him to spill the information we wanted. Finally, Ayden came up with a plan to have someone impersonate the current Clair to contact Hank, and that got him talking.”

Marcus asked, “You guys used Al tech?”

Jayden nodded in agreement, “He’s stubborn as a mule, but he’s got a soft spot for the fake Clair. The moment he gets a video call from Clair and sees her face, he doesn’t even question it. He just immediately warns her that someone might be onto her true identity. Once we realized how much he cared for Clair, we knew we had a foothold. The rest was a piece of cake. A few tricks here and there, and he spilled all the beans.”

Marcus scoffed, “Hank’s a sly fox. He might have already sniffed out the rat and was just playing along”
