Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1071

Chapter 1071 

With each step. Comelia kept glancing back, “Jeremy, I reckon Zavier’s lost his marbles. With Skyler alone with him, will he hurt her?” 

“Get in the car, I’ll ring Zavier Marcus whipped out his mobile and dialed Zavier’s number. After two rings, the call was cut off. He dialed again, only to get an automated message that the phone was switched off. 

Comelia said, “Zavier’s not only ignoring your calls but has his phone turned off? What’s up with that?” 

Marcus shared Comelia’s concem. He feared that Zavier might do something rash and regret it later, “Cornelia, wait here. I’ll go back and check” 

Comelia said, I’m coming with you.” 

“Alright.” Marcus took Comelia’s hand and turned to go back, only to be blocked by a sudden appearance of a bodyguard. 

The bodyguard, a stem expression on his face, said, “President Hartley, you’ve stepped out of this compound. Without Mr. Rivera’s permission, we cannot let you in. Please understand” 

Marcus stared coldly at the guard in front, “And what if I insist on going in?” 

Comelia quickly held Marcus back and politely said to the quard, “We mean no harm, we just want to speak with Skyler again.” 

The guard replied, “Mr. Rivera has already made it clear that once you leave this compound, you’re no longer his friend. If you’re not his friends, it’s going to be tough getting in. If you want to talk to Skyler please contact her. She can come out to meet you” 

Since Skyler returned to Zavier, her phone was controlled by him. Cornelia couldn’t get through to her, or else she wouldn’t have bothered with this. 

“President Hartley and Mrs. Hartley want to see someone, who are you to stop them! Like a ghost, Ayden suddenly appeared at Marcus‘ side, glaring fiercely at the bodyguard blocking Marcus and Cornelia. 

Ayden’s towering figure was intimidating, even without making a move. The bodyguard, although losing in terms of aura, showed no sign of backing down, still blocking the entrance and said, “President Hartley, you may get past me, but you wont be able to get through that door. And even if you do, the security system inside isn’t easy to deal with. You may not be afraid of getting hurt, but what about your wife?” 

Ayden stepped forward, “President Hartley, let me clear the way for you.” 

The bodyguard stood in front of Ayden, “This is Riverton, the Hartley Group’s territory If you try to force your way in, we can’t stop you. But are you sure you want to do that? Frankly speaking, you’re no longer friends with Mr. Rivera. Whatever happens between him and his wife has nothing to do with you. They’re married, they’re family, and to them, you’re outsiders. Skyler is Mr. Rivera’s wife. Even if Mr. Rivera tortures her to death, it’s their family business. What can outsiders do?” 

Cornelia couldn’t stand his words, “I dare you to say that again” 

The bodyguard replied, “No matter how many times you ask me to repeat it, the answer is the same. Although Skyler is known as Mr. Rivera’s wife, in reality, she’s just Mr. Rivera’s pet. She’s completely dependent on him. If he says go east, she can go west. If he orders her to laugh, she must oblige. She’s been like this for years. I don’t know why she suddenly grew a pair, even aborted Mr. Rivera’s child and tried to escape. Since she ran away, she should have run far and never come back. I guess she ran out of money or wanted more benefits from Mr. Rivera, so she shamelessly came back.” 

Upon hearing the bodyguard’s words, Cornelia was furious and more determined to find Skyler, “Out of my way!”
