Chapter 1012
She lifted her head to meet a pair of threatening eyes, and it scared her so much that she forgot to breathe for a moment. She kept quiet, and Cornelia paid no mind to her. Grabbing Marcus, she was mady to leave. âAre you coming with me to pick up Tablia from Abbyâs or going to my place first?â
Marcus. Til wait for you here. You go get her
Comelia Alright. People here love to gossip, if you hear anything just ignore them.â
Marcus just smiled. âSureâ
After Cornelia left Marcus quickly went back to the woman. He looked at her. âDidnât you know that several families in your neighborhood have moved out?â
Leila and Marina Orlandoâs family, sold their houses at a low price and hurriedly moved out a few days ago. It looked like they were fleeing.
The neighbors said that Orlando had committed a crime and his family were so ashamed that they quickly sold their house at a low price and several families quickly left
Rosenberg
The woman never doubted these words before But now, hearing his tone, it seemed that things werenât that simple
The woman clenched her fists tightly and looked at Marcus with fear. âDid they move because of you? What are you trying to do?â
Marcus laughed coldy. âAre you thinking of moving too?â
The woman quickly shook her head. The neighborhood was old and the house prices were low. The money from setting her house wouldnât even be enough for a down payment on a new one. She didnât have a salary, her family was living off her husbandâs meager wage. They were already struggling, and she had no money to get a better
house
Marcus. âIf you donât want to move, do as I sayâ
The woman didnât know what she should do, so she just nodded, âTI do as you sayâ
When Comelia reached Abigailâs house, she knocked on the door but there was no answer. She called Abigail and found out everyone was looking for her
Upon receiving her call, Abigail suddenly started crying, âSmelly Nelly, I was so scared when I couldnât find you. Do you have any idea how terrified I was?â
Cornelia chuckled and gently said. âWhat are you afraid of?â
Abigail, âThereâs a lot of things that scare meâ
Abigail was scared that Cornelia wouldnât be able to recover from losing her grandma, scared that Cornelia would be tormented to the point of suicide, and even more scared that someone would hurt Cornelia.
During the time she couldnât find Comelia, all sorts of terrible thoughts came into Abigailâs mind. The more she thought about them, the more scared she got. Thankfully.
Cornelia was safe
Cornelia. Tm okay, you guys hurry back.â
Abigail, âOkay, Iâll notify everyone.â
Cornetia. âJeremy is also in Rosenberg Iâll take him home first. Can you bring Tahlia to my place later?â
Abigail. âHeâs here again? Seems like he really canât leave you alone. The moment you arrived at Rosenberg, he followed. Were you picking him up just now, is that why your phone wasnât reachable?â
Cornelia didnât want Abigail to worry, so she nodded, âYes, I got a call from him and rushed to the airport I accidentally switched my phone to airplane mode.â
Abigail sighed in relief, âSmelly Nelly, as long as youâre okayâ¦â
Comelia, âNothing will happen to me, donât overthink â
Abigail, Then you just stay home and wait for me. Donât go wandering around.â
Cornelia, âAlrightâ
When Cornelia went downstairs and walked out of the building, she saw the woman standing at the door, looking around as if she was waiting for her. Cornelia originally planned to pretend she didnât see her, but the woman came over smiling as soon as she saw her.
Her attitude towards Cornelia had completely changed, âNelly, I misspoke earlier, I said something wrong. Iâm sincerely sorry, I hope you can forgive me.â
