Chapter 1237
Zack glanced back at Comelia in the back seat. âWhatâs he up to? Kicks you out in the middle of the night, then regrets it the next day?â
âDonât overthink it, maybe thereâs just no parking spots over there Zack, drive a bit further, letâs park somewhere else Cornelia didnât want to jump to conclusions. Zack was already on the same page, he floored it and the car shot out of the parking space. He took another turn before finally parking next to the elevator
No sooner had they parked, Marcusâ car followed. This time, Marcusâ driver blocked their car, making it impossible for them to move.
Zack was pissed and wanted to curse out loud, but Cornelia stopped him, âIgnore them, the trial is about to start, letâs go
Cornelia got out of the car, Marcus did the same and they both headed for the elevator.
Zack and Abigail followed Cornelia, but were blocked by Jayden, President Hartley has a few words for Cornelia, you guys wouldnât mind taking the next elevator, right?â
Zack yelled. âWho the hell are you? And who the hell is President Hartley? What does he think Nelly is, some sort of pet that comes when called?â
Abigail pulled him back, âZack, calm down! If Marcus has something to say to Nelly, let him say it. Better have him get it all out now, so he wonât bother Nelly later.â
Jayden added, âRight, the girlâs got a point. This should be the last time President Hartley sees Cornelia. There wonât be another chance.â
Abigail sarcastically quipped, âReally? Is President Hartley getting remarried so soon?â
âPresident Hartley is deeply in love with Cornelia, thereâs no way heâd marry another womanâ
âDeeply in love? Heâs worthy? Donât Insult the phraseâ Zack scoffed.
Jayden didnât like his president being badâmouthed, but it was hard to explain, âWhatever, whatâs the point of arguing with you clueless idiots.â
They would never understand how heartbroken President Hartley was when he saw Cornelia leave with the divorce papers last night, he almost lost it.
Even though heâd seen all sorts of situations with Marcus, Jayden still shuddered thinking about last night. In that moment, he wanted nothing more than to bring Cornelia back to Marcus and tell her the truth, but he couldnât. He could only watch Marcus suffer unbearable pain. Jayden didnât dare to think further.
Zack snapped, âWho are you calling an idiot?â
Abigail held him back again, âZack, donât lose your temper.â
âIâm not losing my temper, I just canât stand their shamelessness. Marcus has wronged Nelly and now heâs clinging onto her. How dare he hurt Nelly like this? Damn, I really want to give him a good beatingâ
âBut how are you going to beat him if you canât even get near him?â Abigail asked.
*Lâ¦â Zack was at a loss for words. It was all because he wasnât strong enough, he couldnât even protect the people he cared about. Zack looked up. Through the clear glass, he could see Cornelia and Marcus waiting for the elevator
They stood far apart, both in silence
Soon, the elevator doors opened. Cornelia went in first, followed by Marcus. As the elevator door closed, nothing could be seen anymore.
âCan we go now?â Zack asked impatiently.
Jayden gave way, âAfter youâ
Cornelia and Marcus entered the elevator together. She was going to the first floor, Marcus loo.
The elevator arrived quickly, and they stepped out one after the other.
