Zack analyzed rationally, "First of all, I don't think Marcus is a good guy. Secondly, we are just ordinary folks and can't hold a candle to him."
Abigail retorted, "Marcus’s never been a womanizer, why does that make him a bad person? Besides, he's already married to Cornelia, and they're a couple. How could she be considered unworthy of him?"
Zack shot back, "What do you mean he's not a womanizer? Just tonight Cornelia told me she caught Marcus red-handed with another woman in bed. Some people say marrying into wealth brings along complicated family drama. Lots of female celebs marry into wealthy families and end up getting the short end of the stick, kicked out of the family. Cornelia is such a sweetheart, she's more likely to get played."
The news of Marcus with another woman in bed hit Abigail like a ton of bricks.
After what felt like forever, she managed to mutter, "Didn’t Nelly say the one who cheated wasn't Marcus?"
"Do you believe that?" Zack looked at Abigail as if she was a fool, "If Marcus really was Jeremy, why has he kept Nelly in the dark all this time? There's no way he's Jeremy."
Abigail pondered and said, "Maybe he feared Nelly was after his money, so he was testing her."
Zack retorted, "If that's the case, he's even less deserving of Nelly's lifelong commitment."
As they couldn't come to a resolution in their argument, they turned to the protagonist of their discussion, "Nelly, what do you think?"
Cornelia tried her best to keep her cool, pretending to be calm. She took out her work phone and said, "It's simple to confirm if Marcus and Jeremy are the same person, I'll just call Marcus and ask."
"You're going to directly call Marcus and ask? What if..." Abigail and Zack both exclaimed in surprise, their shocked expressions identical.
"Would you two be quiet!" Cornelia found Marcus's number, hit the call button, and the phone was picked up as soon as it rang.
