second anniversary
Cornelia said [Deal No takebacks, okay?
Marcus replied [Deal]
Cornelia was like [Goodnight]
Marcus didn’t reply right away He wasnt ready to end the conversation.
He stared at her window, waiting until her room’s lights turned off, before saying [Goodnight!
He put down his phone, and Ayden appeared at the car window, saying “President Hartley. I’ve
confirmed it. The four thugs from this afternoon are definitely connected to Zavier They’re criminals, on
the run, hiding out They only showed up today because Zavier’s crew baited them.”
Marcus had already guessed that the guys who dared to commit a crime in broad daylight must be
connected to Zavier.
As he picked up his phone to call Zavier, Zavier’s call came in It was like they were in sync.
On the phone, Zavier’s voice was filled with a hint of provocation, “Marc, I didn’t actually lay a hand on
Cornelia this time. As for what I’ll do next, who knows? You better keep an eye on her. If you lose her, I
promise I won’t give her back easily.”
“Zavier, you should be grateful you didn’t succeed today” After saying this, Marcus hung up and looked
back at Ayden.
Before he could give orders. Ayden said, “Rest assured, I’ll do everything to protect Comelia”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMarcus said, “Zavier likes to catch us off guard. This afternoon might have been him trying to trick us.
He might make a move soon”
“I understand” After saying this, Ayden respectfully stepped back
Marcus’s phone rang again. It was Zavier, “Marc, look ahead”
Marcus looked up and saw Zavier waving at him, “We haven’t had a drink together in ages. How about
we go grab a drink?”
Marcus responded, “Not in the mood”
Zavier asked, “Not in the mood, or too scared? You worried I’ll steal her from under your nose?”
Zawier tried to provoke him, but it had no effect on Marcus, ‘Hmph”
“You’re such a bore Zavier hung up, walked over to Marcus’s car. He leaned against it and lit a
cigarette, looking towards Cornelia’s room, “Cornelia’s got a pretty good view from her room”
Marcus calmly said, ‘She’s not someone you can mess with easily”
Zavier offered Marcus a smoke, but he didn’t take it.
Zavier exhaled a smoke ring, laughing. “You know, Marc I always thought you were like a cold hearted
machine, even towards your own dad”
