Chapter 1076
After a brief pause, Ayden continued, “Rumor has it, Skyler was found under Zavier, spitting blood. Now, Zavier’s
completely lost it, clinging onto her lifeless body” Marcus once warned Zavier not to do something he’d regret, but
Zavier didn’t listen, hence the tragedy, “You better leave now”
Ayden replied, “Alright”
After Ayden left, Comelia moved closer to Marcus, “It’s getting late, let’s head home”
She didn’t ask what Ayden and Marcus were talking about if he could discuss it, Marcus would surely tell her.
Cornelia took the initiative to hold Marcus‘ hand, gripping it tightly as if she could feel his heartbeat, “The moon is
so round tonight. Is it almost full?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMarcus replied. “It was full last night.”
Comelia said, “Okay”
Their hands intertwined, they slowly walked home. After a while, Marcus stopped, “Comelia, something happened to
Skyler”
Comelia felt a pang in her heart, “What happened?”
Marcus replied, “Skyler committed suicide by poisoning”
Comelia was stunned for a while, her mind went blank. Just a few hours ago, Skyler was able to smile at her. She
could hold Skyler, and feel Skyler’s warmth.
How much time had passed?
She just went home, then went out to watch a movie, and now they were telling her Skyler was dead.
Comelia shook her head, “I can’t believe Skyler would commit suicide. She told me she wanted to live. She loved life
so much, how could she choose death?”
Marcus pulled Cornelia, “Cornelia, don’t panic. Let’s go check it out, maybe Ayden got it wrong”
Cornelia said, “Okay, let’s go right away.”
Marcus drove quickly, taking Cornelia to the previous courtyard.
The courtyard looked no different from usual. As they arrived, someone appeared at the entrance. It was the same
bodyguard, but this time, he didn’t stop Marcus and Comelia, instead pleading with them, “President Hartley, Mrs.
Hartley, please go see Mr. Rivera.”
Marcus said, “Lead the way.”
The bodyguard hurriedly led the way, “Follow me”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMarcus asked, “Did he call a doctor?”
The bodyguard replied, “He did, but it was too late. By the time the doctor arrived, Skyler, no, Mrs. Rivera had
stopped breathing Now Mr. Rivera is muttering to himself holding a corpse. No one dares to approach him. Only you
can help.”
He had driven Marcus away before, but now he was pleading with him. If it were someone else, they would
probably punish him. But Marcus was magnanimous and let it pass
Once they entered the inner courtyard, Marcus felt uneasy again. That strange feeling was back, making it hard for
him to breathe. But he had no time to think; not wasting a second, he and Cornelia followed the bodyguard to
where Zavier was.
As they entered the room, they saw a naked man and woman.
The man was shouting wildly, shaking the woman in his arms, “Skyler, I told you, you’re mine alive, and you’re mine
dead. I didn’t give you permission to die, yet you dared to. I’ll make your family join you!”
However, no matter how he yelled or shook her, the woman in his arms never opened her eyes.
Marcus stood in front of Cornelia like a mountain, trying to block her view, “Cornelia, don’t look.”
