Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 1043

Chapter 1043

Marcus knew that once he kicked the bucket, if Cornelia was still kicking around the Hartley Group, if she wanted to

help Granny Luisa and him keep the Hartley Group, that would be like throwing her to the wolves, fighting for scraps

with them.

Thinking back on his convo with Brennen that day, Marcus felt his uncase growing stronger. All he could think about

was that he couldn’t let Cornelia be in such a dog–eat–dog world no matter what.

His train of thought was interrupted by a phone call. Marcus pulled out his phone to see “Zavier Rivera” on the

screen. They hadn’t touched base for a while, so he had no clue why Zavier was calling this late.

Marcus picked up the call and heard Zavier say, “Marc, how about we grab a few drinks?”

Marcus put out his cigarette, “You in Riverton?”

Zavier laughed, “How else would I invite you for drinks if I weren’t in Riverton? You coming?”

Marcus said, ‘Cornelia’s already asleep. Let’s do it tomorrow night. I’ll bring her along

Zavier wasn’t surprised at all that Marcus turned him down, “Without Cornelia, can’t find your way?”

No matter how Zavier tried to rile him up, Marcus didn’t bite, “If you don’t have anything else, I’m gonna hang up

the phone.”

Zavier said, “We’re mates, can’t I just call to shoot the breeze?”

Marcus asked, “What do you want to talk about?”

Zavier chuckled, “About Clair, I’ve got the lowdown.”

Marcus said, “Don’t get too chummy with Brennen, it won’t do you any good”

Zavier said, “Are you worried about me? Or afraid I might team up with him and you can’t handle us?”

Marcus said, “You think you can easily control the situation? Don’t forget, that guy is Brennen.”

Zavier said, “So what? Didn’t you have him thrown in jail, for a whole ten years.”

Marcus said. “You don’t know…”

He almost spilled the beans about that day, but luckily he stopped himself in time, “Brennen is more dangerous

than you think.”

Zavier said again, “Even if he is that dangerous, as long as I’m not his enemy, what can he do to me?”

Marcus said. “Some people can hurt their own kin, do you think he cares if you’re his enemy or not?”

Zavier said. “Let’s drop it, talking about him only brings us down. I just wanted to ask, do you want to know where

Clair really went?”

Marcus said, “Tve got people on it, we’ll have info soon.”

Zavier said, “There’re only three people who know where Clair went, Hank, Fake Clait and Granger. To get the truth

out of them, that’s a tall order. So, you might as well call off your people, don’t waste resources.”

Marcus said, “How would I know if I don’t look?”

Zavier said, “Alright, then keep digging. When you’re stumped and can’t find the answer, you can come to me. I

won’t ask for anything in return, I’ll tell you everything”

Marcus said, “I appreciate it in advance then.”

Zavier said, “Marc…”

Marcus said, “Talk”
