Chapter 559
Abigail tned to come up with some excuses for Marcus. She was at a loss for words though.
Marcus wasnât just a dreamboat for many women, he was also the talk of the town. People were saying he sent his own father to jail just to seize power, and he had long
been labeled as ruthless and heartless
Zack then said, âIf Marcus really did something to Nelly, heâd clean up the mess so thoroughly we wouldnât even find Nellyâs body Should we call the cops?â
Zackâs words were getting more and more outlandish, making Abigail swallow nervously. âNellyâs his legit wife, and sheâs been working her butt off by his side all this time. He wouldnât do such a thing, would he?â
Zack shot Abigail a look, âWhat are you doing still defending him?â
âNot that, Abigail thought hard, then she suddenly realized something. âWhat if itâs not me overthinking things, but you, Zack?â
Zack, âWhat do you mean?â
Abigail, âYouâve always had something against Marcus, thought he was after our Nelly. Now that youâve found out Marcus is Jeremy, you canât handle it and youâre coming up with all this stuff to try and split Nelly and Marcus upâ
Zack didnât deny it, âYes, I do hate seeing Nelly being with Marcus. Iâll never forget our sophomore year, when we returned to Riverton from Rosenberg, and the way that jerk talked to Nelly at the airport. That jerk was just from a slightly wellâoff family in Riverton. And he couldnât even handle the rumors about Nelly, let alone a guy with a background like Marcus. If Nelly fell for Marcus and he found out about Nellyâs past, then asked for a divorce, imagine what that would do to Nellyâ
Just the thought of Cornelia getting hurt again made Zack furious, âIf he really is cheating, we need to help Nelly sort things out before she gets too attached.â
Abigail, âDonât compare Marcus with that jerk, in what way is that jerk better than Marcus?â
Zack, âWho knows.â
âZack, Abigail, when are you planning to leave?â A deep male voice suddenly sounded from outside the car, making Abigail jump into Zackâs arms.
Zack was protective, âWho are you?â
The man in the suit said, âIf youâre not planning to leave, thereâs a rest area in the hospital. You can rest thereâ
This guy looked tough. Zack was a bit scared, but for Corneliaâs sake, he plucked up the courage, âOkay, weâll rest in the rest area.â
Abigail, âAre you planning to take us there and do something to us?â
The man in the suit, âIf youâre afraidâ¦â
Zack puffed out his chest and led Abigail forward, âWhoâs afraid? Iâd even dare to flip Marcus off. Do you think Iâd be afraid of you?â
They thought theyâd find Cornelia as soon as they entered the hospital. Instead, they were led straight into a rest area, guarded by people. They couldnât leave the rest area,
let alone see Cornelia.
At this point, Zack and Abigail really realized how powerful Marcus was. If this man really wanted to do something to Cornelia, they stood no chance.
This thought was frightening and unsettling.
