Chapter 1008

Comelia worned about the possible consequences, hurried back to hold him, “Jeremy, chill out, man. He just cussed me out, I’ve already got him back in my head”

Who knew if it was her words or her warm hug that did the trick, but the viciousness in Marcus eyes vanished without a trace. When he looked at her, all he had was warmth “Why’d you come back? Wait outside for me

Cornelia said, “Promise me, no rash moves.”

Marcus chuckled “Relax, if I wanted to ruin him, there are plenty of ways to do it without leaving a trace or evidence that’d get me in trouble.”

Upon hearing this, Cornelia was finally reassured. She quickly left the room, not hearing whatever was said behind her. When she stepped outside, she found Ayden.

“I’m really sorry,” Ayden apologized, “It was my oversight that got you taken by Brenner’s men.”

Comelia said, “It’s not your fault”

“I was careless ” Ayden had failed to recognize the danger when Cornelia suddenly went down to get something from the car, and in a blink of an eye, she was taken away.

He immediately took action, searching for her throughout the city. After tracking the route of the car Cornella was in, he reported the situation to Marcus in Riverton.

He didn’t expect Marcus to be on a plane to Rosenberg as well, having just gotten off the plane. So, he came here first to ensure Cornelia’s safety, while waiting for Marcus to arrive from the airport…

“There’s no need to blame yourself,” Comelia said to Ayden. “Ayden, how long have you been with Marcus? Do you know about his feud with Brennen?”

“Ive been with President Hartley for over twenty years” Ayden respectfully answered. “When I was a child, he saved my mother and me. I didn’t know much back then. Everything I know, he paid for me to learn. I wasn’t with him the year he had the conflict with Brennen, so I’m not quite sure about what exactly happened between them.”

Cornelia asked, “What about your mother, Dr. Dawson? She was with Marcus at the time, right? Did she ever mention anything to you?”

Ayden shook his head

Cornelia asked. “Where did Marcus send your mother?”

Ayden answered, “He allowed her to retire early.”

Cornelia asked. “Did she ever complain about us?”

Ayden replied, “She didn’t understand her role and made mistakes. President Hartley was very lenient in not punishing her. She has no right to blame him.”

Cornelia asked, “Do you have her contact info? I want to call her to ask about what happened back then.”

Ayden answered, “I have it, but I can’t give it to you.”

Cornelia raised an eyebrow and asked, “Why not?”

Ayden replied, “Because President Hartley doesn’t want you to interfere with his issues with Brennen. Besides, my mother won’t blame President Hartley, but she’ll blame you She believes that the reason why President Hartley let her retire early and not stay with him was because of you”

Cornelia realized that there was no chance of getting the details about the past from Dr. Dawson.

“Maybe she should blame me,” Cornelia slightly smiled, turning her head, she could see Marcus‘ upright figure in the pavilion in the distance from the doorway.
