Chapter 891
In the video, the way the repulsive man looked at Cornelia and the way his hands caressed her body pushed the limits of Marcus’ patience. A horrific thought crossed his mind. He wanted to gouge out the guy’s eyeballs and chop off his hands
Ayden, witnessing the rage slowly enveloping Marcus, could probably guess what he was thinking President Hartley, just say the word, and I’ll make sure the jerk in the video will never see the light of day again”
Marcus wanted to tear the guy limb from limb, but he still had some sense. The guy must’ve done more bad things than this. Go and investigate thoroughly, and after finding out, let the law punish him”
Ayden glanced at Marcus, seemingly surprised at his approach. But after a moment’s thought, he got it. Marcus was a family man now. Before doing anything, he would think of Cornelia, so he wouldn’t be as ruthless as before
In the video, Cornelia was being bullied by a group of people, some were ripping her clothes off, some were pulling her hair, while others were leaving scars on her body. She kept explaining that she didn’t seduce someone else’s husband, she didn’t know how she ended up in her neighbor’s house, but nobody believed her. Her eyes were vacant and helpless, finally turning to despair..
Everything in the video made Marcus heart ache.
If he had known Cornelia earlier, would she have been treated this way? If he had known Comelia earlier, even if she was bullied, she would have had someone to rely on, instead of feeling helpless and desperate like in the video.
The more he watched, the angrier he got. In the end, Marcus emitted a powerful aura that screamed ‘keep away’. “Those who bullied Cornelia will pay the price.”
“Got it” Ayden replied, then added, “Robison and his wife might stir up some trouble, should I handle them first?”
Marcus answered, “Those two may not dare to commit crimes, but they have broken the law quite a few times. Find some of their illegal deeds, get them locked up in the police station, and keep them out of our hair for a while.”
“Understood” Ayden took the order and was about to leave, but after a few steps he thought of something and turned back to Marcus, “President Hartley, to prevent Robison from spreading the video around, I’ve had a hacker delete the video he stored on a secret app”
Marcus replied, “Good”
Only then did Ayden leave in peace.
As Ayden left, Marcus turned around, only to meet Cornelia’s gaze.
When did she come to the staircase? Why didn’t he or Ayden notice?
He looked at Cornelia with concern, but she didn’t seem to be affected as if she was an observer. She calmly said, “Show me the video.”
So she heard his conversation with Ayden.
Marcus had originally planned to handle this problem quietly, but it seemed that plan won’t work now, “I’ll handle this. I won’t let anyone who hurt you get away with it.”
Comelia said, “Not only do I want those who have hurt me to be legally punished, but I also want to tell those girls who have gone through the same thing as me that we’re not in the wrong It’s the abusers, the voyeurs who are. I hope that when they see my case, they can muster up the courage to accuse those criminals and not feel ashamed when something like this happens to them.”
