Chapter 794
Hearing the commotion, Cornelia bolted over, positioning her petite frame between Marcus and Zavier, “Zavier,
what are you up to?”
Marcus looked at the fearless girl who had rushed to his defense, his icy heart enveloped in warmth His voice
softened involuntarily, “Cornelia ”
Cornelia said, “Don’t be scared I’ll protect you”
Marcus chuckled “Such a silly girl!
He didn’t need her protection. Even if Zavier had the guts, he wouldn’t dare to cross him.

Seeing things escalating Steven and Lucas quickly tried to mediate “Guys, can’t you just talk it out? Keep this up and
you won’t be friends much longer”
The four of them were college pals and business partners, enjoying a strong bond. They had treasured places in
each other’s hearts. If they really had a falling out, they might stop hanging out altogether, which none of them
wanted
Steven added, “Marc. Zavier knows he messed up. He’s realized how important Skyler is to him. Why not give him
another chance?”
Comelia retorted, “The chance isn’t for President Hartley to give. It’s up to him to earn it. If he gets his act together
and Skyler’s willing, she’ll come back”
Steven frowned, “Marc, your woman really doesn’t know when to keep her mouth shut. We’re having a
conversation here. It’s not her place to butt in
“I don’t need her to be understanding Her being happy and free is all that matters. Marcus stood up slowly, his gaze
from beneath his silver–rimmed glasses on Zavier was chilling and terrifying, “Do you know anything about the
poisoning?”
Even Zavier shivered under Marcus‘ intense stare, “What are you talking about?”
Marcus said, “You better not be involved, or I don’t care who you are, and I won’t show any mercy”
Lucas said, “It’s getting late Let’s have dinner. We can chat while we eat
The tension was thick, threatening to blow up any second. Someone had to defuse it to keep the dinner going.
Hannah also chimed in, ‘Let’s eat first.”

Once seated, Steven’s hand found its way around her waist, gently moving back and forth. He leaned in and
whispered in her ear, “What were you and Cornelia talking about just now?”
Hannah said, “Just about how she met President Hartley”
Steven said, “Zavier’s wife, Skyler, was taken away by Cornelia. Stay away from her and don’t hang out with her
unless necessary.”
Hannah asked, “Are you scared of her?”
Steven laughed, “Do you think I would be?”
Hannah said, “You may not be scared of her, but you’ve got to be wary of Marcus behind her. Everyone saw tonight
how protective Marcus is of Cornelia. The look in his eyes when Zavier told Comelia to move was like he was ready
to attack. It was truly terrifying“.
