Chapter 354
Cornella pondered for a moment and said. “Let’s meet three days after Christmas Hell be too busy to notice me gone I’ll be out for a day or two and he probably won’t find out Skyler responded. In that case, I wont give you the exact address now. Just in case your phone is being tapped by Zavier I still have time to make a run for Well get in touch when you get to Nice”
Cornelia understood Skyler’s concerns and replied, “Alright contact you when I get there”
Skyler added. Tve only been out for a month, but it feels like a year. When I first escaped, I had nightmares every night and I couldn’t sleep. I was always afraid of waking up in that familiar
room with that devil of a man next to me*
Tears welled up in Comelia’s eyes ‘Skyler, don’t be scared. You’re free now. Even the powerful Zavier cant do as he pleases in France Forget about the past, forget about the man who scared you, and start your life anew”
Skyler took a deep breath. “Yes, it’s all in the past Things will get better Cornelia, let’s end the conversation here for today. I have things to handle Fl wait for your arrival”
After Cornelia hung up, tears streamed down her face She couldn’t understand why she felt so upset.
She opened WhatsApp and saw dozens of unread messages from Zack
“Cornelia, that jerk Marcus actually hung up my video call! Wait till he gets back to Riverton, Il teach him a lesson!”
“Nelly, did Marcus bully you? Hurry up and reply, I’m freaking out here”
Nelly!”
“Nelly, do you need me to come to Paris right now?”
Cornelia quickly replied, “Zack, don’t judge people by their cover. Marcus is not a bad guy. He’s not interested in all the women throwing themselves at him. Why would he be interested in a married woman like me?*
As soon as Cornelia sent the message, Zack replied, “You finally replied. I thought something happened to you Scared the hell out of me
Cornelia replied, “Who’d dare mess with me when I have the whole Hartley Group backing me up? I’m just a small assistant, but to many people, I’m Marcus’s right hand, nobody would dare mess with me?‘
She wasn’t exaggerating
Zack replied, “Anyway, take care of yourself Let us know if anything happens. Abby and I are going back to Rosenberg for the New Year. We’ll return to Riverton a few days after the new year Hope you can come back to Riverton soon.
Cornelia replied, ‘Sure, don’t worry. Spend more time with your parents in Rosenberg”
After ending the chat, Cornelia checked the time and it was already past noon.
