Chapter 1238
Wherever Cornelia went, Marcus was always there, trailing behind in silence. After handling the paperwork, Cornelia entered the courtroom Marcus was there too, right beside her. Cornelia couldn’t stand it anymore. She turned to him, ‘Marcus, what on earth are you up to?”
Marcus chuckled his voice low and charming. “Well, well, you finally decided to speak to me”
Cornelia scoffed, turned away from him. Whatever he was up to, let him be
She ignored him, but his deep voice came through again, Tve been keeping tabs on Granny Rebecca’s case. Today’s verdict day. Thought I’d drop by”
So, it was all about Granny Rebecca No matter what, Marcus was indeed good to Granny Rebecca. To get her treatment, he didn’t hesitate to spend a fortune on experts.
“Thank you” Cornelia expressed her gratitude.
Marcus leaned back in his chair, “No need to thank me. If it wasn’t for me, Granny Rebecca might not have…
Cornelia cut him off, “It’s the murderer who’s guilty, not you. I don’t blame you, and you don’t need to blame yourself”
Suddenly, Marcus grabbed Cornelia’s hand, holding it tightly.
Cornelia was startled, tried to pull her hand away, but it was no use, “Marcus, let go of melt
But Marcus wouldn’t let go, “Cornelia, this is the last time, the very last time…
“What last time? Let go of me first!”
But Marcus only tightened his grip.
Cornelia’s eyes reddened in anger, “Marcus, we’re divorced. I’m not your wife, you’re not my husband, and we’re no longer related. What exactly do you take me for?”
Marcus was afraid to see her cry, I’m sorry! I just. He just instinctively wanted to hold her hand, to be close to her. He couldn’t control himself.
Suddenly, a loud voice came from the podium, “The trial is officially starting, silence in the court.
Cornelia stopped talking, letting Marcus hold her hand. He held on, all the way until the judge announced the murderer’s life sentence
Cornelia wished the murderer would pay with his life, but she respected the verdict. She got up and was ready to leave when the murderer saw her. The once calm murderer suddenly became agitated, shouting at Cornelia and Marcus. “Marcus, don’t be a fool, leave that woman as soon as possible. If you stay with her, she’ll kill you.”
