Chapter 1666
She did not expect Cornelius, the second-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family, to be such a rascal.
He was implying that he would not let her go if she did not have a meal with him.
‘What should I do?’
At this time, Alba was at a loss.
She tried to contact the Fellowes family but found that the signal had been cut off by Cornelius.
She could not do this.
If she boarded Cornelius’ ship, she would be charged with infidelity once this matter got out. It would not matter
what she actually did there.
Even her family would be implicated.
When the man got out, what awaited her and the Fellowes family would be a devastating blow.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJudging from that man’s ego, how would he accept such a thing?
Alba even felt that Cornelius had come prepared to speed up the demise of her and the Fellowes family.
However, when she thought about it, something seemed off.
‘How could dare Cornelius do this?
‘How could he bear the anger of that man?
‘Could it be…’
Alba was startled and a cold light flashed across her eyes.
‘Is someone instigating this?
‘Who could it be?
‘Is it the backer behind the Lightfoot family?
‘This is the only reason why Cornelius would be so courageous.’
It was said that the two families were at odds with each other.
Thus, it was not entirely impossible that someone wanted to play tricks behind the scenes.
One had to acknowledge that Alba was one of the most famous talented woman on the Central Sacred Continent.
She was pretty smart.
She managed to analyze the general context of the situation from Cornelius’ actions today.
If no one was behind this, Cornelius would never dare to do such a thing even if he was given all the courage in the
world.
However, even if Alba figured out what was going on, she did not have a good solution.
Cornelius obviously came prepared, so the people he brought must not be weak.
Meanwhile, Alba did not expect such a thing to happen at all so she only brought a few maids and guards.
From her point of view, no one would dare to do anything to her on the Central Sacred Continent.
At the same time, she was also the fiancé of that man in name.
Thus, she did not expect to see Cornelius behave with so much audacity.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf Cornelius resorted to violence, Alba would be helpless.
She thought of all the possible factors and was still unable to solve her immediate predicament.
The only variable here was David.
It was a pity that David could not reveal his identity.
Even if his identity was exposed, Cornelius might not believe him.
He was just a random person that claimed to be the disciple of a Sacred Saint.
There was probably no one who would believe him.
‘What should I do?
‘Am I going to fall into the hands of that rascal Cornelius today?’
According to Alba’s prediction, Cornelius just needed to force her into his ship and free her later.
He did not even need to do anything to her.
Once the news got out, it would be over for her and the Fellowes family.
There would be no chance of changing their fate.
At that time, even if David, a disciple of a Sacred Saint, wanted to help her, it would be extremely challenging.
