Chapter 795
âAre you scared of Marcus?â Steven echoed Hannaliâs words, then burst into laughters, âDarling do you really think Iâm that useless?â
Whether Steven was capable or not, Hannah knew best. He was terrifying, like a smiling yet ruthless tiger, leaving no trace of his prey
But she just wanted to dent this manâs pride. Is it so hard to admit youâre scared of Marcus?â
Steven said, âMarc usually appears to be very gentle, especially when he puts on those silver rimmed glasses. He looks like a complete gentleman, without a hint of aggression. But in reality his personality is extreme, even more terrifying than Zavier, who people call a lunatic. When he was not yet seventeen, he was able to send his own father to prison Do you think I would not be afraid of a person who could do such a thing?â
Being afraid of Marcus was not something to be ashamed of, and Steven did not hesitate to admit it, âOnly I never thought that he, who has always been indifferent to women, would one day regard a woman so important. Tonight, we all saw Marcusâ regard for Cornelia, completely beyond our expectations. His unconditional spoiling of that woman will sooner or later bring destruction to him and his Hartley Groupâ
Hannah disagreed with Stevenâs view, âHeâs just spoiling his wife, donât scare peopleâ
Steven laughed and said, âMarcus is not ordinary. Heâs the president of the Hartley Group, which has business in various fields. Heâs the richest man in the world, and with all the honors, danger naturally follows him. If his competitors find out he has a weakness, and that weakness is a woman. What do you think those who are helpless against him will do?â
Hannah asked. âYou mean they might target Cornelia?â
Steven said, âNot might, but already have â
Hannah said, âCornelia has been in danger? When did this happen? Why didnât she tell us?â
Steven said, âIâm not sure when exactly it happened I just heard Marc questioning Zavier if he knew about someone poisoning, probably someone tried to poison Cornelia and he found out.â
These words left Hannah terrified.
Steven continued âMarc knew what danger Cornelia might face by being with him, yet he still publicly acknowledged her identity without considering Corneliaâs safety Lock how good I am to you and how much I love you.â
Hannah said, âDonât you think Marcusâ actions are what a normal man should do? He gives Cornelia enough respect, love and sense of securityâ
Steven said, âAre you saying Iâm not normal? That I havenât given you enough respect? Or you feel I havenât given you security?â
Hannah said, âMaybe bothâ
âI love you so deeply, but you feel I havenât given you enough sense of securityâ Steven slightly tightened his hold on Hannahâs waist, âDarling, youâre hurting my heart. Believe it or not, I could lay a hand on you right now!
Hannah stiffened slightly, looked up at him and smiled faintly. âYou have done so before, whatâs there to believe or not?â
Steven was satisfied with her response, âGood that you remember!â
âWhat are you two whispering about instead of eating?â At the dinner table, everyone was eating in silence, the atmosphere a bit tense. Trying to lighten the mood, Lucas
spoke up
Steven said, âWeâre discussing our bedroom exercises for tonightâ
Lucas said, âEat first, then discuss. If you donât eat enough, you wonât have the energy tonight!â
