Chapter 1091
Marcus slowly opened his eyes, seeing Comelia with her eyes all red and teary Even her nose was red. He instinctively reached out to touch her face.
However, just as his hand was about to touch her, he quickly withdrew it. âYou need to learn to tell whoâs blowing hot air and whoâs not.â
Comelia shot back, âWell then, tell me which of your words are full of baloney and which ones are not?â
Marcus replied. âMaybe everything I say is baloneyâ
Comelia shouted, âJeremyâ
Marcus said. âCall me Marcus from now on, donât call me Jeremy anymore. I donât like that name To be more precise, I donât like the identity of Jeremy because it
canât be made publicâ
Comelia fell silent. When they got married, he was under the name Jeremy, and now he was telling her he hated the name and the identity. He was a smart cookie, he must have known how much this would hurt her. But he said it anyway, without giving a damn about her feelings.
Comelia looked at him, holding back her tears, âMy husbandâs name is Jeremy, and thatâs the only identity I recognize.â
Marcus asked, âDo you believe Brennenâs words?â
Comelia fell silent again.
Suddenly, Ayden interrupted their conversation, âPresident Hartley, weâre here!â
Marcus replied. âAlrightâ
Comelia gave him a look, got out of the car first, and stormed off
Meanwhile
Zavier returned to the place where Skyler was last seen. Upon hearing that Skyler was reduced to ashes, he didnât say a word. He just sat next to the ashes, silently staring at them, sitting in silence.
He sat for a long time, no one dared to disturb him.
About an hour later, it was already broad daylight. Their friends and family started to arrive. The first to arrive were Skylerâs parents.
The bodyguard asked, âMr. Rivera, Skylerâs parents are here, shall we let them in?â
Zavier asked, âSkyler, do you want your parents to come in and see you?â
Skyler wasnât there anymore, unable to answer him. But he insisted on waiting for an answer, âSkyler, tell me. If you donât speak, how do I know whether to let them in to see you or not?â
He knew very well he wouldnât get an answer, but he kept talking to himself, âSkyler, Iâve told you before. As long as you behave, I can give you anything you want. But now youâre being disobedient again. Since youâre not answering me, then Iâll get someone to invite them for some coffee and wait for a while. Whenever you answer me, Iâll let them come see you.â
The bodyguard was scared stiff hearing all this, not daring to remind him of anything.
Zavier kept talking to himself, âSkyler, I just thought about it, weâve been together for so many years, and it seems like youâve never mentioned your parents to me. Whatâs your relationship with them like? Did you not mention them because you hate me, then does it mean you have a good relationship with them?
Why donât you answer me? Hurry up and answer me. If you donât answer me, Iâll get mad. And you know the consequences can be severe when Iâm mad. Skyler, donât test my patience time and time again, I donât have all day to waste on youâ
