Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 471

Chapter 471 

Marcus whipped his head around, shooting Zavier a look that was all but shouting ‘back off 

“Ease up. Marc. I’m just shooting the breeze with Comelia” Zavier said, putting out his cigarette with a smirk, “Cornelia, after dinner, fancy a little private chat?” 

No matter what Zavier was up to, Cornelia wasn’t about to back down. She was determined to help Skyler, “Sure” 

Cornelia was game, but Marcus wasn’t having it. His icy stare never left Zavier and said to Cornelia, “Cornelia, after dinner, come with me to check out a project “Of course” For Comelia, work always came first. ‘Mr. Rivera, how about we chat after I finish up some work this afternoon. Maybe in the evening?” 

“You might be too busy then too” Zavier lit another cigarette, grinning. “What’s got you so scared, Marc? Afraid I’ll spill your secrets to Cornelia? Or that I hide your wife like you did?” 

Marcus snorted, “If you never want to see Skyler again in your life, be my guest.” 

The threat hit Zavier hard, and he splashed his cup’s contents onto Marcus’s face in anger, “Think I won’t do anything to you, Marcus? Don’t push it, or you’ll regret it.” Marcus could’ve dodged it, but chose not to. Even soaking wet, he was more sexy than embarrassed 

Cornelia felt horrible. If it wasn’t for her insistence on helping Skyler, Marcus wouldn’t have been dragged into this mess, let alone soaked to the skin by Zavier. 

She quickly grabbed some napkins and began to pat down Marcus’s hair, “I’m so sorry!” 

Marcus heard her and lightly squeezed her hand before letting go, “It’s not your fault, don’t beat yourself up.” 

“What’s going on here?” Steven quickly stood up, patting Zavier’s shoulder, “Zavier, we’ve been friends since college. No need for physical or verbal assaults‘ Lucas chimed in. “Zavier, Skyler’s finally found a moment of peace after running away from you. Don’t force her back. Marc’s trying to help you.” 

“Help me?” Zavier’s eyes blazed with anger, “If I hide your wives and make them impossible to find, am I helping you?” 

Hannah suddenly snapped. “Skyler would rather die than be with you! You’re blaming everyone else instead of looking at yourself! 

Steven was taken aback by Hannah’s outburst, “What’s wrong?” 

Hannah stared at Steven with a defiant gaze, “Just because you’re rich, you think all women are dying to be with you, waiting for your affection.” 

Steven said, “I never thought that way” 

Hannah didn’t seem to hear him, “Yes, we may not be as wealthy or powerful as you. You could crush us like ants. But even a cornered animal will fight back. We’re human beings, not pets at your beck and call”
