Cornelia was taken aback for a moment, and it took her a while to understand his words “Why would

Testing her ability to handle things meant that if she hadn’t discovered the flaw, she could have been
fired by him

Marcus didn’t notice her discomfort and put the tablet back. “What do you want to eat tonight?”
Cornelia didn’t want to feel depressed, nor did she want to be constantly on edge because of this job.

The scars spread out thinly, like a blooming blood rose

Cornelia regretted it and followed his gaze to her arm. It hasn’t hurt for a long time, President Hartley.
You don’t have to worry about it.
It was a polite answer, but it made Marcus feel uncomfortable. He wanted to say something else but

Cornelia looked at her, and since they couldn’t talk, she replied via Whatsapp. It’s dark outside, and the
snow hasn’t stopped. It’s dangerous to drive down the mountain.”
Cornelia could see that Skyler really didn’t want to be with Zavier.
She hoped that Skyler could escape Zavier and gain freedom, but she couldn’t risk her life for it.
“Skyler, let’s go down the mountain when the sun comes up. You can come with me to Riverton then.”
Skyler gently touched her belly and murmured, “Can I wait until dawn?
Will the sun rise?
When the sun rises, can she escape?
And where can she escape to?
