Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 917

Chapter 917 

Hank thought his words were fine, but Marcus seemed to sniff out some issues. Clair must have thought about killing Cornelia at one point. 

Most parents loved their kids, but some folks just didn’t deserve to be called parents. Yet, Marcus desperately hoped that the mother Cornelia missed was a decent and responsible woman, not a piece of work like his own parents. 

Marcus commanded, “Get them out!” 

Ayden stepped forward without a word, simply gesturing them out. 

A few guys followed Hank and Ayden. Hank wanted to look back at Marcus, but he didn’t have the guts. “Who’s your boss?” he asked. 

Ayden ignored him. 

Once they were outside the residential area and Ayden left, several thugs suddenly became arrogant and started shouting loudly. “Hank, it’s one thing for that person to attack us, but they dare to threaten you? Who the hell are they? Threatening you on our turf, we should call someone and deal with them tonight” 

Hank shot them a cold glance. “No one is going after him until we figure out who he really is. Once I do, I’ll make sure he pays for every bit of humiliation that we suffered today. 

The guy who got the worst beating was the loudest “Hank, this is Rosenberg, our turf, where we have the most clout. Someone threatens us here. You might take it, but we won’t. We’re gonna call the troops, we need to take it with those two” 

Hank slapped him across the face. “You’re making a scene now. Where was this bravery earlier?” 

The guy clamped his mouth shut, nursing his face. 

Hank gave them a look. “I’m the one who was humiliated today. You think I’m not pissed? If I were as hot–tempered as before, I would have hit him back. He knew who I am and still dared to confront me, that means he’s not afraid of me. That means he might be more powerful.“. 

Hank had been in Rosenberg for years without any issues, thanks to his cunning 

Bad people were not scary, what was scary was that bad people can also think and plan. 

Marcus went back upstairs. 

People were still playing cards. Cornelia sat next to Abigail and watched, she was a little sleepy but forced herself to stay awake. 

Seeing Marcus return, she immediately rushed over. “Why were you gone for so long? Something came up?” 

Marcus pinched her cheek. “You look tired, why don’t you go to bed? I’ll stay up.” 

Cornelia said, “I asked you a question, don’t change the subject.” 

Marcus said, “I had a chat with Hank.” 

Cornelia asked. “You don’t like him, why would you chat with him?”
