Chapter 157
Do you really think that letting Skyler leave the Capital would stop Zavier from going after her?” Marcus
knew Zavier cared about Skyler, so he agreed to let her go, but Cornelia didn’t know
that.
Cornelia felt something was off, “President Hartley, what do you mean?”
Marcus continued. “This time. I personally took her away, and Zavier allowed me to do so. But you
should know what kind of person Zavier is. If you’re not sure, you can ask Skyler if she wants to stay at
the Blueshell Mansion. Ask her, and then tell me the answer”
Cornelia had heard a lot of rumors about Zavier, the most important of which was that he was a very
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtvengeful person
If Zavier only let Skyler go temporarily because of Marcus, then as soon as Skyler was out of Marcus’s
protection, Zavier could take her back at any time.
Skyler almost lost her life trying to escape Zavier, and Cornelia couldn’t just stand by and watch her be
taken back to the Capital
The only person who could help Skyler settle down in Riverton was Marcus, and he was willing to lend
a hand Cornelia didn’t see any reason to refuse
She said, “No need to ask, let Skyler stay at the Blueshell Mansion. Please continue to protect her,
President Hartley”
Marcus said, 1 brought my friend’s wife to Riverton and arranged for her to stay at my house. What do
you think my wife would think?”
Cornelia asked, “So what’s the point of you saying all this?”
Marcus’s goal had always been Cornelia, “Like I said before, you two live together in the Blueshell
Mansion”
Marcus was so clear that unless she didn’t want to help Skyler, there was no reason for Cornelia to
refuse, Then after I move in, Ill pay you rent monthly
She even wanted to pay him rent!
Although his wife was a bit silly, she always found ways to make him uncomfortable
He asked, “Do you know how much it costs to rent a place at the Blueshell Mansion per month?”
After hearing the price, Cornelia instantly regretted what she had just said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm1 know, President Hartley, you don’t need the rent money. But if you don’t charge rent, I won’t stay for
free From now on, the sanitation of all the houses in the Blueshell Mansion is on me And if you’re tired
of the chef’s cooking, I can cook for you and your wife”
She was just called silly, but when it came to money, she was very clever. She didn’t want to pay rent
and came up with so many excuses
No matter what method was used, Marcus’s goal was achieved, “Alright, let’s do it as you say ”
Thinking she didn’t have to pay such a high rent and completely unaware of the trap, Cornelia was
thrilled. “Thank you, President Hartley! You’re so kind!”
Marcus thought to himself, “Fool!”
She fell for his trap so easily. If it wasn’t him who tricked her this time, but another man, would she be
easily taken home by other men as well?
