Chapter 297
âMarcus, I totally get your pointâ Cornelia thought to herself. Even my own husband didnât meddle this much in my life, and youâre just his friend Who the hell did you think you are?
Marcus didnât say anything else. They arived at the FLG club in silence. Located in the outskirts of Harbor City, the club was decorated in a classical garden style it was Steverâs spot to entertain his pats and didnât calm to the public
By the time Comelia and Marcus arrived. Steven was already wading âManus, five brought him. You handle this however you see fit. Donât worry about me I donât have anything to do with the Ruff familyâ
karcus just smirked. âAnd what if you didâ
âAinght, I guess I was a bit overconfidentâ Steven admitted, making a welcoming gesture and leading them into a room âMi Ruff, the person you wanted to see, Ive brought him hereâ
The sight of Marcus hit Hayden Ruff like a ghost, tuming him pale as a sheet You youâre Mi Hartley?
Julian Ruff had hoped there might have been some mix up, that the Hartley Group had gotten the wrong person But seeing Haydenâs reaction, his hopes were dashed
Before Marcus could even open his mouth, Julian Ruff dragged Hayden down to their knees âMr Hartley my son was young and foolish, and he offended you Iâm here to apologue on hid behalt
Hayden Ruff was shaking all over his previous arrogance nowhere to be seen âMr. Hartley, I mistook you Itâs all my fault, please forgive me
Marcus slowly squatted down in front of Hayden, whispering in a voice only the two of them could hear âTo me it doesnât matter if you know who I am But you had no right to think of my enfe that way I wouldnât let you touch a single hair on her head, yet you treated her the way you did. Do you think I can forgive that? Do you realize the price you have to pay for messing with her?â
Hayden Ruff bowed and apologized repeatedly âMr. Hartley. Iâm sorry! I had no idea it was you two. If I had known, I would never have thought of your wife that way or acted out at the auction We, the Ruff Corporation will cover all the costs from last night as long as you let us off the hookâ
Julian Ruf also bowed his head âM: Hartley, itâs my fault for not educating my son well. Please be merciful and forgive him this one time I guarantee heâll behave from now on
But before he could finish, Marcus told Steven. âSteven, get them out of here I canât stand to look at them. Iâm afraid theyâll dirty my eyesâ
Jukan Ruff knew what Marcus meant. If they were kicked out like this, the Ruff Corporation would cease to exist.
He clung to Marcusâs legs in desperation âMr Hartley please spare the Ruff Corporation Leave us a way to surviveâ
âDid you ever consider leaving a way out for the ordinary people you and your son oppressed?â Marcus kicked Julian away Stevenâs men rushed over and started dragging him out
âI can walk out myself: Hayden Ruff stumbled to his feet. As he passed Comelia on his way out, he suddenly grabbed her throat âMarcus, youâve ruined our livelihood. We have no way out but death if fim going down, Iâm taking someone with me You care so much about your wife, i take her to hell with me Letâs see how you like living in agony
Marcus watched Haydenâs hand around Comeliaâs throat, a hint of worry and a cold murderous intent in his eyes behind his silver glasses. Despite that, his expression didnât change. âGo abead and try Letâs see if pl live in agony
Marcus voice was low and emotionless, yet Hayden felt a chilling aura surrounding him, making him even more terrifying than before.
Hayden was so scared that he wanted to release Cornelia, but knowing he had no way out, he had to take the risk. âYou think I wonât do it?â
Haydenâs movements were brutal Comeliaâs face was turning red from his choke hold, and Marcus didnât seem to be coming to her rescue. She had no choice but to save herself. âIm not even his wife! What good is grabbing me? if youâve got the balls, go grab his real wife
