Chapter 740
Comelia asked Abigail, âWhoâs out there?â
The door slammed louder than Abigail intended, catching the attention of the two busy gents in the kitchen.
After Marcus came out, he immediately looked at Comelia and then swiftly positioned himself behind her, appearing as if he was ready. to protect her.
Zack wiped his hands on his apron, rushing over to the flustered Abigail. âAbigail, whatâs up?â
Abigail instructed, âMake sure Cornelia gets back to her room. Her boyfriend should be with her. And no peeping, not until I say so.â
Abigail was being too erratic, and Cornelia didnât want to provoke her. She quickly agreed, âAlright, weâll head back to our room, you take your time with Zack.â
âPresident Hartley, letâs chill in my room for a bit.â Cornelia hurriedly pulled Marcus back to their room.
Once inside her room, Cornelia shut the door, leaving a small gap to peek through.
Abigail knew her too well, âNo peepingââ she yelled.
Cornelia had no choice but to shut the door completely, not daring to peek anymore.
Even though Comelia was back in her room, Abigail wasnât reassured. âZack, lock Comeliaâs door from the outside. Make sure she canât peek.â
Zack asked, âWhatâs going on? Tell me first.â
Abigail lost her cool and shouted, âJust lock the damn door!â

The thought of that jerk outside was driving Zack mad, âMove!â
âZack!â Abigail tried to stop him, but she was no match for the angry Zack. He shoved her aside and opened the door
A smirking face greeted him, âZack, long time no see!â
Without hesitation, Zack landed a punch on Romanâs face, âYou jerk, how dare you show up, Iâm gonna teach you a lesson.â
Zack threw a few more punches, but Roman didnât dodge. He just took it, âI did some wrong things. If you need to punch me to vent, go ahead, Iâll wait till you cool down.â
Zack kept punching until his hands hurt, âYou scumbag, how did you find out where we live? What do you want with us? Iâm warning you. you better leave now, the further the better, or Iâll beat you up every time I see you.â
Roman laughed at him, his derisive smile as if mocking Zack for not knowing the status of the Padilla family in Riverton.
âYou know the
