Chapter 1349
The butler said, “Mr. Rivera, please.”
After all, this was the Duran family’s turf. Zavier didn’t dare to overstay his welcome. “Alright, I’ll take off. If Cornelia
changes her mind, make sure to tell me ASAP.” Zavier said.
The butler didn’t say much, “Mr. Rivera, please.”
Zavier said, “Sir, we’re old pals, why are you giving me the cold shoulder?”
The butler said, “Mr. Rivera, don’t you get why I’m being icy?”
Zavier said, “I’ve cleared the air with Old Augustine. The scene I made at the airport was just that I wanted to scare
Marcus. I never intended to harm Cornelia.”
The butler said, “Only because Old Augustine was taking a breath were you allowed to come inside. If he knew you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwere here, he’d bar the door. You can forget about seeing Ms. Stewart.”
Zavier said, “The reason I chose this timing to look for Cornelia is because I knew Old Augustine would be resting.”
The butler’s expression changed, “Did you plant a mole in the Duran family?”
Zavier said, “Who would dare to plant a mole in the Duran family? To find out Old Augustine’s schedule, you just
have to ask around.”
The butler fell silent.
Zavier said, “Alright, I’m leaving. Keep an eye on Ms. Stewart, don’t let her do anything rash.”
The butler said, “Ms. Stewart won’t do anything irrational.”
Zavier said, “That’s best, of course.”
If Cornelia knew that Marcus hadn’t betrayed their marriage, that everything Marcus had done was actually to
protect her, with Cornelia’s strong character, who knew what could happen.
All he could do was wait for the outcome.
Back in her room on the second floor, Cornelia tried to calm herself down. Having worked alongside Marcus for so
long, she understood his character well. Because of his parents‘ affairs, Marcus had a particular disdain for
unfaithful, disloyal men.
In the year–plus she had worked with Marcus, many attractive women had made advances at him and many
associates had tried to send him beautiful women, but he had never given them a second glance.
How could such a man, who valued love and took marriage seriously, suddenly pursue other women? So, it was
very likely that Marcus did all this because he knew he was poisoned with “Acidbane” and his life was nearing its
end, so he deliberately pushed her away.
Granny Luisa suddenly becoming distant, the things Tahlia said to her, and Dr. Terrel’s timely arrival…
At that moment, everything Cornelia had been confused about before suddenly made sense. Because she cared
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtoo much about her marriage to Marcus, and when she saw him distancing himself from her and getting close to
other women, she proposed divorce without much thought. Even though she could feel Marcus’s sincerity, she was
easily fooled by the false image he deliberately created.
Cornelia was so mad she slapped herself hard. She hit herself so hard that clear finger marks immediately
appeared on her face.
There were many things that she would have seen through if she thought carefully. However, she had always
covered her eyes and heart, unwilling to look more, let alone think more.
This led to the current predicament..
Everyone was currently unable to find Marcus. Zavier said Marcus was fed Acidbane by Brennen when he was a
child. Could Acidbane really slowly corrode the internal organs of the poisoned?
If it was true, then was Marcus really…?
Cornelia didn’t want to accept this fact.
