Chapter 1349
The butler said, “Mr. Rivera, please.”
After all, this was the Duran family’s turf. Zavier didn’t dare to overstay his welcome. “Alright, I’ll take off. If Cornelia changes her mind, make sure to tell me ASAP.” Zavier said.
The butler didn’t say much, “Mr. Rivera, please.”
Zavier said, “Sir, we’re old pals, why are you giving me the cold shoulder?”
The butler said, “Mr. Rivera, don’t you get why I’m being icy?”
Zavier said, “I’ve cleared the air with Old Augustine. The scene I made at the airport was just that I wanted to scare Marcus. I never intended to harm Cornelia.”
The butler said, “Only because Old Augustine was taking a breath were you allowed to come inside. If he knew you were here, he’d bar the door. You can forget about seeing Ms. Stewart.”
Zavier said, “The reason I chose this timing to look for Cornelia is because I knew Old Augustine would be resting.”
The butler’s expression changed, “Did you plant a mole in the Duran family?”
Zavier said, “Who would dare to plant a mole in the Duran family? To find out Old Augustine’s schedule, you just have to ask around.”
The butler fell silent.
Zavier said, “Alright, I’m leaving. Keep an eye on Ms. Stewart, don’t let her do anything rash.”
The butler said, “Ms. Stewart won’t do anything irrational.”
Zavier said, “That’s best, of course.”
If Cornelia knew that Marcus hadn’t betrayed their marriage, that everything Marcus had done was actually to protect her, with Cornelia’s strong character, who knew what could happen.
Back in her room on the second floor, Cornelia tried to calm herself down. Having worked alongside Marcus for so long, she understood his character well. Because of his parents‘ affairs, Marcus had a particular disdain for unfaithful, disloyal men.
In the year–plus she had worked with Marcus, many attractive women had made advances at him and many associates had tried to send him beautiful women, but he had never given them a second glance.
How could such a man, who valued love and took marriage seriously, suddenly pursue other women? So, it was very likely that Marcus did all this because he knew he was poisoned with “Acidbane” and his life was nearing its end, so he deliberately pushed her away.
At that moment, everything Cornelia had been confused about before suddenly made sense. Because she cared too much about her marriage to Marcus, and when she saw him distancing himself from her and getting close to other women, she proposed divorce without much thought. Even though she could feel Marcus’s sincerity, she was easily fooled by the false image he deliberately created.
