Chapter 1165
Comelia snatched back her phone and hurriedly said, “Dr. Lester, don’t listen to Zavier’s nonsense, and don’t wake
up Marc. When he wakes up, have him call me. I’m busy, got to go.”
With that, Cornelia hung up the phone and locked it, “Didn’t you hear? Marcus is sick.”
Zavier replied, “His sickness isn’t new. What’s the big deal?”
Cornelia didn’t respond.
Zavier continued, “Since you can’t reach Marcus to hand over the person I want, you’ll have to come with me.”
Just as his words fell, there was a rumbling in the sky, and several helicopters circled overhead. At the same time,
the vehicles under the overpass had been cleared out. All that remained were cars with blue shield logos, unique to
the Duran family.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSomeone on the helicopter shouted through a megaphone, “Zavier, listen up, let Cornelia go now. We can let
bygones be bygones, if not…”
In the Capital, once he made it onto the Duran family’s blacklist, the consequences were unthinkable.
Upon hearing the shouting from the sky, Zavier’s men got out of their cars and discarded their weapons.
Zavier might be crazy, but he knew what he could and could not do, “Marcus is really something, I don’t know what
he did to make Old Augustine recognize you as his granddaughter, climbing into the Duran family that everyone
wants to get into but can’t.”
Cornelia responded, “The best thing about Marcus is his sincerity and kindness.”
Zavier laughed, “Putting aside what Marcus has done to others over the years, you must know what happened
between him and his father, Brennen, right?”
Cornelia asked, “So what?”
Zavier answered, “A man who won’t even spare his own father, can he really be called kind?”
Cornelia replied, “Whether he is or not, that’s for me to decide.”
Zavier asked, “Where does your confidence come from? From the Duran family? You’re just a child that Old
Augustine adopted on a whim. Who knows when he’ll get tired of you. When you fall out of favor, that might be the
day you die.”
“Really?” Cornelia asked.
“We’ll see.” With that, Zavier got in his car and drove off with his crew.
Just as he left, a special car, the kind people couldn’t buy no matter how rich they were, sped up and stopped next
to Cornelia.
As the car came to a stop, the driver quickly got out to open the door for the passenger in the backseat. But the
passenger couldn’t wait and got out himself, “Nelly, Nelly!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCornelia asked, “Grandpa Augustine, why are you here?”
Grandpa Augustine quickly moved to Cornelia’s side, looking her up and down, “Did that bastard Zavier hurt you?”
Cornelia shook her head, “With you around, he wouldn’t dare lay a finger on me.”
Seeing that Cornelia was unharmed, Grandpa Augustine breathed a sigh of relief, “You really scared me just now! If
anything happened to you, I wouldn’t
be able to live on.”
Cornelia said, “Grandpa Augustine, you have to stay strong and keep living!”
Grandpa Augustine replied, “As long as you’re okay, I’m okay.”
Cornelia said, “Alright, we’ll both live well.”
Grandpa Augustine nodded, “I heard Zavier used to be Marc’s good friend. His grudge against you is because his
wife, Skyler, wanted to leave him, and you guys helped her. Is that right?”
Cornelia nodded, “But that’s not the only reason. I just heard him say he suspects that Skyler isn’t dead and that
Marc is up to something.”
