Chapter 175
Marcus returned to the 25th floor, Zavier stubbed out his cigarette and looked up at him. âHuh, you have to tell your wife something shameful, and you have to hide at from meâ
Marcus asked, âWhat do you think?â
Zavier asked. âHowâs Skyler Blue doing now?â
Marcus replied. âYou go back to the Capital, sheâs no longer in Rivertonâ
Zavier jumped up, his voice trembling. What do you say?â
Marcus calmly said. âForcing her to stay could kill her. Letting her go, she could live. Her life and death are in your mind, you choose your selfâ
His words struck a chord with Zavier, who understood the consequences of keeping Skyler Blue
Suddenly, he felt like all his strength was drained Zavier heavily sat on the couch, then slowly stood up and said, âIâm leavingâ
Through all these years, it was the first time Marcus had seen Zavier looking so lost. He comforted, âDonât worry, Iâll arrange for for someone to keep her safe
Zavier didnât say anything, he stumbled out of Marcus house.
After Zavier left, Marcusâ private phone chimed, a message from Cornelia Jeremy Artis, are you in Riverton? If so, letâs meet tomorrow and talk about usâ
Without asking, Marcus knew that Cornelia wanted to talk about divorce. How could he possibly agree? Marcus replied, Tm not in Riverton lately, tell me whatâs up on WhatsAppâ
Comelia replied, âItâs hard to explain over WhatsApp, letâs talk when you return to Riverton.â
Marcus asked. What are you up to? Had dinner yet?â
After sending the message. Marcus gaze never left the phone screen, waiting for Corneliaâs response
However, after waiting for several minutes, there was no reply from Cornelia
He thought for a moment, took his work phone and called her directly. Cornelia quickly answered. âPresident Hartley, anything else?â
Marcus said, âCome downstairs.â
âAlright âWith Skyler Blue gone, Cornelia felt there was no need for her to stay at the Blueshell Mansion. She was packing up to leave when Marcus called, so she had to attend to his matter first.
When Cornelia arrived at the 25th floor, Marcus was waiting for her at the door. He beckoned her over.
Cornelia was puzzled, but obediently moved to where he pointed. As soon as she stood there, the Al voice said, âYour face has been recognized, from now on, just look at the camera to open the door.â
Cornelia looked at Marcus in confusion.
Marcus explained, âFrom now on, let yourself in when you come to my house, I donât want to wait at the door every timeâ
Cornelia was speechless.
He added, âI havenât had dinner yet, Iâm hungry. You promised me in the Capital that youâll teach me to cook, how about today?â
He had just done her a big favor, Cornelia had no reason to refuse âAlright, I go to the supermarket downstairs to buy some groceries.â
Marcus said, âNo need to buy anything. Iâve already had someone prepare the ingredients and put them in the fridge, see if anything is missing?â
