Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 895

Chapter 895
Granny Luisa got all worked up. “Nelly, this ain’t no joking matter, you gotta listen to me now. Marc, you gotta skedaddle to a nearby hotel and shack up there. Don’t you dare set foot here without my say so.”
Cornelia chimed in, “Granny Luisa, how can you so easily believe the scammer’s words?”
Granny Luisa was as stubborn as a mule about this She blamed herself for not keeping a closer eye on the Hartley family, which led to Cornelia’s granny kicking the bucket. Now, she wasn’t about to let the Hartley family cause any potential harm to the Stewarts, “From now on, what I say goes.”
Granny Luisa not only had experience in running a company, but also in planning funerals Having her arrange Cornelia’s granny’s funeral was more reassuring to Marcus than if Cornelia had to do it herself. Marcus knew that until they got to the bottom of things, they’d be on pins and needles, so he had no choice but to beat it. “Granny Luisa, there’ll be a bunch of folks coming to pay their respects to Cornelia’s granny, Cornelia can’t handle it all by herself, I’ll get someone to lend a hand when I leave”
Zack’s mom piped up. “Don’t sweat it, my hubby and I can pitch in. Abby’s folks are on their way too. We got this.”
They all got along really well. Whenever there was trouble at home, they’d always help each other out. With them around, Marcus could rest easy
Marcus turned to Cornelia, “Cornelia, I’ll book a room at a nearby hotel. My phone will be on 24/7. If anything comes up, you gotta let me know right away”
Cornelia didn’t want Marcus to leave, as his presence gave her peace of mind, “Dinner’s almost ready, you wanna stick around until after we eat?”
Granny Luisa retorted, “You worried he won’t find a place to eat? He can’t stay here any longer The longer he stays, the heavier the bad vibes are.”
“I’ll walk you out then,” Cornelia knew they didn’t believe in Prophet Peter, but others might. To ease their minds, she had to let Marcus leave. She walked him to the elevator, her eyes and nose all red, “I’m sorry for all the trouble during your first visit.”
Marcus gently ruffled her hair, soothing her, “Don’t sweat it, you don’t have to feel bad for me. As soon as I uncover the truth, I’ll be back.”
Cornelia suddenly turned serious, “I suspect Prophet Peter might have been bribed by Robison to slander you. If you’re going to investigate, start with them”
Marcus nodded, “Alright”
Nelly was a real sharp cookie. Even under such immense pressure, she managed to pinpoint the crux of the matter in no time
Cornelia was still a bit antsy, she clung to him and reminded him, “This ain’t Riverton, you ain’t familiar with this place. You gotta watch your back.”
“Cornelia, rest easy, no one can harm me in Rosenberg” Marcus didn’t go into details. He felt she didn’t quite get him, or the Hartley Group.
The Hartley Group owned two car brands and a chip industry, which were the mainstay of Rosenberg Rosenberg’s GDP was mainly propped up by these companies. He had
a vast network in Rosenberg. If he said the word, loads of people would be falling over themselves to serve him, just like in Riverton.
Robison and his wife were like clowns to him Taking them down would be as easy as pie, easier than squashing an ant
“I’m still a bit worried” Cornelia was a bit out of breath, then she said, “You gotta promise me, you gotta stay safe.”
Marcus understood her worry and fear, “I promise, I’ll come back to you safe and sound.”
Cornelia said, “You gotta keep your word, if you break your promise even once, I’ll never trust you again”
Marcus replied, “Alright”
