Chapter 881
Cornelia led Marcus and the others upstairs, stopping in front of the door. She tried to unlock it but found the lock had been changed. Instantly. Cornelia knew this was Robisonâs doing âGranny Luisa, wait here. Iâll go sort it oul â
Marcus immediately said. âIâll go with youâ
âNo need help me hold thisâ Cornelia carefully handed Granny Rebeccaâs urn to Marcus âDonât worry, I be right backâ
Marcus was bound to worry if Cornelia went alone. But with Ayden around, Marcus was confident no one would mess with her, so he let her go
Cornelia come downstairs alone and saw Cristina still walking back and forth outside the elevator, just like a sneaky thief. Seeing Cornelia coming down, she quickly put on a fake smile. âYou bitch, I offered to to have you my house, but you insist bringing them upstairs Whatâs the point?â
Cornelia didnât have the patience for chitâchat âGive me the keyâ
âThe key is with Robison. Go find him if you want it, Cristina retorted.
Cornelia glared at her, âAre you really not giving it to me?â
Cristina played dumb, âWhat? What do you want from me?â
âI once sent Robison to jail for a few days Wouldnât mind doing the same for youâ Cornelia shot back.
âThink you own the police, do you? Sending us to jail at your whim? Cristina scoffed.
âDo you realize breaking into someoneâs house is illegal? That changing someoneâs locks without their permission is a crime? If I press charges, itâll be more than a few days in jail Donât use ignorance to showcase your stupidityâ Cornelia retorted.
âIâm not scared of you, Cristina sneered Robison is your grannyâs son. Sheâs gone, so the house is his Whatâs wrong with changing the locks?â
âDonât forget, when Robison refused to pay for my grandmotherâs medical bills, we cut ties. Heâs got nothing to do with my granny anymore, so this house canât possibly be his,â Cornelia responded
Cornelia felt relieved that her granny had severed ties with Robison in time. Otherwise, this only house would have fallen into this shameless coupleâs hands.
Cristina chuckled, âWhether Robison is your grannyâs son or not, thatâs between him and your granny. You have no say in this.â
From Cristinaâs tone, it was clear she was trying to wriggle out of this.
But Cornelia wasnât worried. They had officially severed ties and it was legally binding. Cristina couldnât play dumb. Without saying another word to Cristina, Cornelia looked up a locksmithâs number from a community ad and called him over to unlock her house.
After hanging up, Cornelia went back upstairs. She saw Granny Luisa still waiting at the door with everyone else, unable to get inside. Cornelia felt sorry. âGranny Luisa, you must be tired from standing so longâ¦â
Before she could finish, Granny Luisa cut her off. Iâm not tired. The real problem is why canât we open your door. Did someone change the lock? Was it Robison?â
Cornelia nodded, âGranny Luisa, Iâm sorry for the trouble.â
