Chapter 1481
In her heart, Cornelia thought her husband was the best. There was no better man in the world. No one could hold
a candle to him.
While they were chin-wagging here, the guys were having a verbal throwdown over there.
Zavier was always a straight shooter. He bluntly asked, “Marc, I’ll ask you again, did you hide Skyler?”
Jeremy looked him in the eye. “No.”
Zavier’s sharp gaze pinned Jeremy. “Can I even trust you?”
Jeremy stared back coldly. “When have I ever lied to you?”,
Zavier took a trip down memory lane, recalling everything that had happened in the past couple of years. Back
then, Skyler had fled to France to avoid him. No matter how she hid, he could always find her, even knowing her

Come to think of it, Jeremy didn’t deny helping Skyler escape, just refused to tell him where she was. That didn’t
exactly count as lying.

Once he sorted all this out, Zavier finally let out his grudge, leaning half his body on the chair. “Skyler is still alive,
I’m sure of it, but I can’t find her. I’ve used a ton of resources and looked all over the world, but still no news. Marc,
you have a wider network than me and are better at finding people. Can you help me find her? I’ll do anything if
you help me find Skyler.”
The Rivera family was loaded and well-respected. Zavier was a man who never let go of his pride. To lower himself
like this, he must have been desperate to find Skyler but felt helpless.
Jeremy asked, “What will you do when you find her?”
Zavier, “Take her home, of course. We’re still married, the agreement still stands, and she’s still my wife.”
Jeremy, “Maybe, she ran away because the agreement is still there.”
Zavier, “What do you mean?”
Jeremy, “Don’t you get it? You said you want to bring her home, but that’s just your idea. You’ve never thought
about it from her perspective. is the home you mentioned really her home?”
Zavier was silent for a moment, then said, “I know I messed up before. If she’s willing to come back, I’ll break my
old habits.”
Jeremy, “If she’s really still alive. If she faked her death to fool you, to run away from you, it means she really
doesn’t want to be with you. If you find her and force her back, you might lose her for real.”
Zavier’s heart was pounding at these words. “No way, I won’t let her have another chance to kill herself. In that
case, I’ll just quietly find her. I just need to know she’s

Jeremy, “Good luck with that.”
Zavier, “You won’t help me find her?”
Jeremy, “Sorry, I can help with other stuff, but not this.”
Zavier turned to Lucas. “Lucas, can you help me? The Duncan family is powerful, so it should be easy to find a
person, right?”
It wasn’t that Lucas didn’t want to help, but it was a tough cookie. Skyler left Zavier so definitively, that it was
obvious she didn’t want to be with him again. If she was found and brought back, she might really be in more
danger. Then Zavier might go off the deep end.
Lucas, “Zavier, I’m really sorry about this!”
At that, Zavier suddenly burst into laughter. He was laughing like a madman. “You’re all my best friends, but when I
need help the most, none of you are willing to lend a hand. You all have good families, and mine is gone. You’re
really heartless.”
Lucas, “Zavier…”
Zavier was currently a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.
