Chapter 1047
1 got it!â Marcus hung up the phone, instantly eyeing Zavier, then casting a glance at the other two. He was radiating a cold, intimidating aura that made everyone in the room feel his murderous intent.
Zavier figured Marcus had just gotten some news, but he kept his cool, smiled and said, âMarcus, I know you have your people around Cornelia. I know it wonât be easy to whisk her away, and thatâs why I tricked you into coming here. I didnât exactly lie to you though, I just wanted to share a drink with you.â
Marcus adjusted his glasses, looking at Zavier with a chilly gaze, âI can forgive a lot, but this, I canât let this slide.â
Zavier dropped the act, smashing his glass on the table, âMarcus, you can hide my wife, but I canât team up with others and take yours?â
Marcus helped Skyler because she was miserable with Zavier and wanted out. What Zavier was doing, however, was teaming up with Marcusâ enernies to take Comelia. Zavier wasnât stupid, he knew what would happen if Comelia fell into Brennenâs hands, but he did it anyway.
Marcus looked at him, his eyes as cold as if he was eyeing a stranger, âZavier, I gave you a chance. You blew it. From now on, weâre enemies.â
Zavier sneered, âThe moment you hid my wife Skyler and didnât hand her over, we became enemies. You canât possibly still think I donât care about what you did. night? You canât possibly still think that just by telling me Skylerâs whereabouts, Iâll forgive you. I hate you, Marcus. I despise you to the core. I want to tear you two apart, make sure you never see each other againâ
âGive it your best shot. With that, Marcus got up and walked out.
Zavier grabbed a bottle and smashed it on the table, âMarcus, donât think I wonât dare to do anything to you. Iâm telling you, if you walk out that door, youâre my
enemy.â
Marcus didnât hesitate, and walked out elegantly.
Seeing Marcus really leave, the Reeses were anxious, especially Granger, âZavier, you just let him leave? Have our guys got Cornelia?*
Zavier lifted his gaze to Granger, âYouâve known him for so many years. Do you really not know what kind of person he is? If Cornelia was really taken, could he be
so calm?â
Granger replied, âMarcus has always been good at controlling his emotions. I canât tell from his expression whether or not Cornelia has been taken.â
Zavier said, âYouâre such an idiot!â
Granger frowned in anger, âWe didnât get Cornelia and Marcus left, what do we do now?â
Zavier retorted, âYouâre asking me? Donât you have a brain? Canât you think for yourself?â
Granger replied, âMr. Rivera, things change. Today the Reese Group is in a bad spot and it seems like anyone can insult me. Youâd better pray that the Rivera family stays prosperous, or Iâll pay you back double for todayâs insult.â
Zavier didnât take Granger seriously, as always, âWell, Iâll wait and see if you can rise again, see if you can pay back double.â
âEnough! Weâre partners, stop arguing!â As this stern voice echoed, Brennen appeared at the door.
He glanced at the three men in the room, âWe need to work closely together, united as one, to succeed. We absolutely canât afford any internal chaos. We canât let
Marcus defeat us.â
Zavier spat in Brennenâs direction, whose face turned grave, âMr. Rivera, whatâs the meaning of this?â
Zavier replied, âIâve lived for almost thirty years, Iâve met all sorts of people, but Iâve never seen anyone as coldâhearted and shameless as you. Marc is your own son, look what youâve done to him.â
Granger listened on, thinking it was best to let these two fight it out for now.
