NovelEnglishChapter 357
Marcus saw the fear in Cornelia’s eyes, but he had already started If he didn’t finish, she’d only worry
more “Cornelia, I don’t like delivering these harsh truths, but this is the brutat reality of the world, and
something Skyler has to face”
Cornelia never knew her mother, and her father passed away early. Over the past twenty four years,
she had seen a lot of life’s harsh realities She understood a lot, but she didn’t want to accept
Occasionally, she’d naively think that if she worked hard enough, everything would work out
Her clenched fist tightened and loosened, then tightened again. “So you’re saying, as long as Zavier
doesn’t let go, Skyler has no choice but to die or remain under Zavrr’s control?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMarcus pushed his glasses up his nose and simply responded. “Uh huh”
President Hartley, thank you for telling me the Truth” Cornelia thanked him, but she felt sick to her
stomach, almost wanting to throw up
President Hartley enjoy your meal I ate a lot last night, so I’m not hungry Ill pass Cornelia quickly stood
up, and rushed upstairs to the guest room. She ran into the bathroom, and dry heaved over the toilet
until she felt dizzy, but nothing came out.
She sat weakly on the floor, looking at Skyler’s number on her phone. She wanted to call or text her
several times, but didn’t have the courage to do it
Cornelia understood what Marcus was saying Skyler couldn’t escape Zavier’s control, and maybe it
would be better for her not to know she was still under his control
But was she really just supposed to accept this?
Cornelia didnt know Her mind was in chaos
“Cornelia, Skyler and Zavier are married, and they’re the closest to each other. You barely know Skyler;
you’re not even friends Why are you doing this to yourself?”
Marcus’s deep voice was as pleasant as always, but now it sounded like a spell controlling her, making
her feel afraid.
Cornelia stood up. She leaned on the toilet and slowly turned to look at Marcus standing in the
doorway. His perfect face looked like a demon to her
Cornelia wanted to say something, but it was as if her throat was blocked, and she couldn’t make a
sound.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Cornelia,” Marcus reached out to help her, but she backed away, watching him warily before he could
touch her.
He had seen this fear in others, but seeing it in Cornelia’s eyes for the first time unsettled him ‘Cornelia,
tell me what you want to do, and I do it.”
1 hope Skyler can completely break free from Zavier. I hope Skyler can live a truly free and happy life,”
Cornelia thought, but she couldn’t say
But he wouldn’t help her for free, she knew that. “Mr. Hartley, what do you hope to gain from me?”
Zavier’s influence was massive. Helping Skyler break free would require a lot of resources. Marcus
was a businessman, he had no connection to her or Skyler, If he was willing to help, he had to expect
something in return.
Cornelia didn’t know what she or Skyler could offer him.
Cornelia’s reaction hurt Marcus, “Cornelia, we’ve been working together for almost a year. Is this really
how you see me?”
