Chapter 356
Marcus chuckled. “That was Zavier on the phone. He wont do anything to my wife, no need to get your
knickers in a twist”
“Has he found out where Skyler is?” She had just received news about Skyler and Zavier catted
immediately Cornelia couldn’t help but suspect Zavier already knew where Skyler was if Zavier found
out Skyler’s whereabouts from her, and Skyler was once again under Zavier’s control, Skyler would be
in serious jeopardy.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened Cornelia became Her hand clenching into a fist on
her thigh
Marcus had the chef serve the dishes. He served Cornelia a bowl of soup first. It’s cold out, have some

Due to all the conjectures in her mind, Cornelia felt as cold as ice. She needed the soup to warm her
up, but she was too agitated to drink “Marcus, Zavier knows where Skyler is, doesn’t
he?”
Marcus didn’t immediately answer Cornelia’s question, he wanted to give her a glimmer of hope. But
since she insisted on knowing, he told her the truth. After all she was his wife, and the would face many
similar problems in the future It was better to get her used to such situations sooner rather than later
He said “Cornelia you and Skyler both underestimated Zavier. It’s understandable that you
underestimate him because you don’t know him. But Skyler, having been with him for so many years,
still underestimates him. All it shows is that her escape plan was doomed from the start
Marcus‘ words shattered Cornelia’s hopes, leaving her feeling helpless, scared, and a whole mix of
emotions
Without thinking, she quickly pulled out her phone to call Skyler.
Marcus simply took her phone away, “Cornelia, you need to cool your jets! Whether Skyler can escape
Zavier’s control has nothing to do with you It’s between them. You get me?”
His deep, sexy voice slowly brought her back to her senses, “Marcus, my personal phone might be
tapped by Zavier.”
Marcus was glad that Cornelia didn’t suspect him of leaking Skylet’s escape route, so he decided to hit
her with the harsh truth, Zavier hasnt tapped your phone, nor would he dare to. Hes been tapping
Skyler’s phone”
That truth hit Cornelia like a bolt from the blue, leaving her mind blank
Skyler had planned for so long, and racked her brains to get away from Zavier. They thought Skyler

were nothing but a joke
Marcus and Zavier watched them run around like headless chickens, while they thought they were
pulling off some covert operation.
They let Skyler escape, letting her run around like a mouse in a game of cat and mouse
Cornelia took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, “President Hartley, could I have my phone
back please?”
“Cornelia, letting Skyler believe that she has escaped Zavier’s control, letting her think she’s free now,
isn’t that a good thing? Why would you want to disrupt her peaceful life? Some things are better left
unknown. Life can go on peacefully, but once you know, it can become difficult, even life–threatening
Marcus casually dropped the bombshell that Cornelia was reluctant to
accept
When Cornelia looked at Marcus again, her eyes were filled with deep fear.
