Chapter 1130
Jayden asked, "Is it because Ayden is more diligent in his work?"
Marcus said, "It's because he thinks less. | tell him to do something, and he does it without throwing in his own two cents.’
Jayden fell silent. So, President Hartley didn't appreciate his initiative. But he had no other intentions. Even if President Hartley ordered him to die, he would gladly offer his life without a second thought, just at his say-so.
He went on, "President Hartley, I'm willing to lay down my life for you."
Marcus liked the sound of that, "Starting today, you'll protect Cornelia with Ayden.’
Jayden said, "If you pull us away, what about you? You know what Brennen is up to; he won't let you off the hook that easily.’
Marcus raised his eyebrows, giving Jayden a cold stare.
Jayden knew what that look meant, "President Hartley, I'm not defying you, I'm just worried about your safety."
Even without Marcus saying a word, Jayden’s voice grew quieter, until he eventually muttered under Marcus’ gaze, "Got it!"
Satisfied, Marcus shifted his gaze back to his cigarette, then suddenly started coughing, spewing out blood after a few hacks.
Jayden was taken aback. "President Hartley."
"Cornelia mustn't know about my condition, or I'll kill you." With that, Marcus passed out.
