Chapter 1058

Marcus saw Cornelia spacing out and tenderly patted her head, “Did I scare you with my words?”

Comelia snapped back to reality, “I’m so sorry, Jeremy!”

Marcus asked, “Why are you apologizing all of a sudden?”

Comelia said, “You helped Skyler for my sake, and ended up pissing off your friend Zavier”

Marcus said, ‘I didn’t do it for you, I did it for Zavier.”

Comelia was puzzled, “Can you explain?”

Marcus explained, “Remember when you went to France to see Skyler and were taken away by Zavier when you left?”

Comelia nodded, “I remember.”

Marcus went on, “Skyler realized she hadn’t completely escaped Zavier’s watchful eye and broke down. I was supposed to pick you up but didn’t find you. Instead, I stumbled upon her trying to end her own life. If I hadn’t saved her, she might be gone by now.”

Cornelia had no idea about this. No wonder Marcus never thought of handing Skyler back to Zavier even after they became enemies. He had sacrificed a lot. He was doing a good deed, but was misunderstood.

Marcus continued, “Skyler had given up on fe. I promised to help her escape from Zavier, and that’s when she found the courage to live again. I helped her escape Zavier’s surveillance, but I never hid her. She was free, and could go back to Zavier whenever she wanted”

Cornelia asked, “Why didn’t you tell me this earlier?”

Marcus said, “I didn’t want to worry you.”

Cornelia wanted to say something, but Marcus cut her off, “She’s an adult now. She knows what she’s doing Don’t interfere with their business anymore.”

Cornelia nodded, but the image of Skyler lying in a pool of blood last year trying to escape from Zavier by giving up her life kept flashing in her mind. If Skyler did something drastic again…

Cornelia didn’t dare to think further.

Marcus said, “Go wash up and have breakfast.”

“Okay” Cornelia put down her phone and headed for the bathroom.

When she came out, Marcus was no longer in the room, but her phone was vibrating non–stop on the bedside table. She picked up her phone and saw a message from Zavier: [Cornelia, Skyler is back with me. Please stop interfering in our affairs.

“Okay” Cornelia initially wanted to reply simply.

But she was still a bit worried, so she sent a detailed message: [Mr. Rivera, Skyler is my friend. I hope she can be happy every day, and I hope you are the one who, can make her happy]

But in the end, Cornelia deleted the message because she was afraid of others‘ judgement, and didn’t send the message.

Comelia pocketed her phone and stepped into the restaurant.
