Chapter 759
After leaving the Hartley familyâs courtyard, Sabrina sat in the car, looking worriedly at Roman in the driverâs seat, âSon, was our behavior today not worth it?â
Roman chuckled coldly, âWell, itâs too early to say whether weâve gained or lost. Maybe the old lady of the Hartley family is just sticking to her own opinion She may not believe us, but there must be some doubts in her heart. As long as weâve planted seeds of doubt in her mind, who knows what will happen in the long run?â
Sabrina was still worried, âGranny from the Hartley family has always been good to us. Iâve known her for over twenty years. Every time I visit her, sheâs always friendly. The thing I want, no matter how expensive it is, as long as I ask her for it, she will give it to me. But this time she asked us to leave. Iâm afraid she wonât give money to us anymore.â
Roman retorted discontentedly, âShe only gives us twenty or thirty thousand a month. Thatâs not nearly enough for us. If she doesnât give us money in the future, someone else will, donât worry.â
Sabrina said, âIt is indeed a bit less, sometimes I want to buy a decent bag but donât have money. But you know, having this twenty or thirty thousand is better than nothing. Apart from Granny Luisa, who would be willing to give us tens of thousands every month?â
For many families, twenty or thirty thousand was more than they can earn in a year. Yet, Granny Luisa gave the Padillas two to three thousand every month, and they still found it insufficient.
âDonât worry, as long as Iâm here, you wonât be short of money,â Roman didnât specify who would give them money. It was not the right time to tell her.
Sabrina said, âYou had me meet Granny Luisa today and you slandered Cornelia in front of her. It doesnt benefit the Padilla family at all, why did you do that?â
Roman asked, âDo you want to hear the truth?â
Sabrina replied, âOf course! What, you think I want you to spin tales?â
Roman smiled, his smile sinister and twisted. âBecause I regret it! I regret breaking up with her! If I hadnât listened to those rumors and broken up with her, she would be my woman now, not Marcusâ.â
Sabrina said, âItâs just a woman. You can find any type of woman with your current status. Itâs not worth being so obsessed over a woman from the past.â
Roman replied, âA woman from the past? The one I canât get is the one I canât forget. Because sheâs the woman I never truly had, I couldnât help but miss her all these years.
âIronically, the first job I got when I returned to Riverton brought me face to face with her. I tried to invite her to dinner, but she turned me down. Today, I visited her home and found her with Marcus. She told me Marcus is her husband. I understand that unless Marcus lets her go, Iâll never have another chance with her. So, Iâd rather destroy her than let her fall into another manâs hands.â
Sabrina said, âShe now has the powerful backing of the Hartley Group and that fearsome Marcus. For the sake of our family and your future, youâd better not get involved with that woman anymore.â
Roman sneered, âYou think Iâm the only one watching her? There are already many people paying attention to her. Every move she makes is being watched.
âMarcus has made many enemies, and there are countless people who wish him dead. Maybe one day, his life will be taken away by someone else, and then heâll no longer have the right to fight me for Cornelia.â
Sabrina asked, âIs the one who wants to deal with him Brennen?â
Roman replied, âSince ancient times, the battle between father and son has always been the most captivating show. I wonder who will have the upper hand in this play, the father or the son.â
Sabrina said, âMarcus sent Brennen to prison before he was even eighteen. If Brennen couldnât even handle a notâyetâeighteenâyearâold Marcus, what can he do to the now so powerful Marcus? Does he think he can win just based on his accumulation of strength during these two years after being released from prison?â
Roman replied, âLetâs wait and see.â
When Cornelia and Marcus arrived at the hospital, Granny Rebecca was still being rescued.
Granny Luisa was wiping away her tears as she said to Cornelia, âNelly, Iâm sorry! I didnât take good care of your grandma. She got scared and couldnât catch her breath. She almost passed away.â
