Chapter 1163
Zavier was going all out, hurting Cornelia like hell, but she didnât make a peep, âZavier, what on earth are you up to?â
Zavier shot back coldly. âDonât play dumb, Cornelia. You and Marcus are two peas in a pod, I bet you know more about his dirty laundry than I do.â
The next moment, Ayden, who had been in the car, was suddenly outside, gun aimed at Zavierâs head. He said darkly, âZavier, let her go! Or Iâll blow your brains out.â
Zavier retorted, âOh really, youâre going to threaten me? Youâre just a small fry.â
No sooner had he spoken than the rest of his goons also got out of the car, each holding a gun, all of them pointed at Cornelia. One wrong move, one accidental shot, and Corneliaâs head would be blown off.
Zavier laughed, a crazy, chilling laugh, âGo on, shoot me if you dare. I guarantee, if I go down, theyâll turn Cornelia into Swiss cheese.â
Ayden felt like he was in a vice. He wanted nothing more than to shoot Zavier, but he couldnât risk Corneliaâs life.
âCalm down, Ayden.â Cornelia said, âGet back in the car, and donât come out again without my sayâso.â
Ayden was silent for a moment.
âAre you going to move, or do you want me to turn into Swiss cheese?â Cornelia asked.
Of course, he didnât. So, reluctantly, he got back in the car.
Seeing Ayden back in the car, Zavierâs goons climbed back into theirs, leaving only Cornelia and Zavier on the overpass.
âNot long since we last met, and youâre already bossing people around.â Zavier sneered.
âIâm the boss, why shouldnât I?â Cornelia retorted.
Zavier changed his tone, âCall Marcus now, no more stalling.â
Cornelia said, âYouâre practically ripping my scalp off, how am I supposed to call him?â
Zavier yanked Corneliaâs hair, âTry any tricks, Cornelia, and Iâll cut off your head and kick it like a football.â
Cornelia leaned back to lessen the pain.

âOf course, I believe you. She said, cool as a cucumber, âYou were capable of killing your own wife, Skyler. What wouldnât you do?â
That comment pissed Zavier off, âShut up! Call Marcus now!â
âWhat do you want me to say to him?â Cornelia asked.
âTell him to come clean, what shady business heâs been up to with Skyler. Tell him to hand her over.â Zavier said.
Cornelia said, âZavier, youâre a pitiful sight. You canât accept that Skyler is gone, and you blame others for her death. You canât even see your own faults.â
Zavier snapped, âSkyler isnât dead! Sheâs alive! Marcus is hiding her to get back at me. Call him now, tell him to hand her over, or I canât promise what Iâll do
to youâ
Cornelia retorted, âFirst, you need to let go of me, didnât you hear that? As the CEO of Rivera Inc., is bullying women all youâre good at?â
