Chapter 1051

This phrase was like a magic potion. However, it invaded Marcus‘ heart like poison, leaving him speechless.

Comelia looked at him, “What’s up? Did Zavier upset you again?”

Marcus replied, “I not only ran into Zavier, but also Granger and Cameron. Granger definitely knows about your mom

Cornelia said, “I’ve thought about it. But it’s been over twenty years. No one can prove that this Clair is not the real Clair, and we can’t prove that my mom exists. Trying to find evidence to convict fake Clair and the others is even harder.”

Marcus said, “Granger might use the news that your mom is still alive to confuse you. Be careful to discern the truth”

Cornelia grabbed her cell phone from the bedside table and flipped to a message she had just received, “Before you got back, I received a message from Zavier. He told me my mom is still alive”

Marcus glanced at it and said sarcastically. “He sure is quick.”

Cornelia said, “I know he’s trying to deceive me. I won’t fall for it.”

Marcus said, “But we can’t rule out the possibility that your mom is still alive.”

Cornelia said. “The chances of my mom being alive are almost zero.”

Marcus asked, “Why are you so certain?”

Cornelia explained, “Because fake Clair is ruthless. She didn’t know who I was before, and when I contradicted her in the mall, she held a grudge and planned to frame me at Granger’s birthday party to force me to leave Riverton. A woman so heartless, how could she let my mom live after taking over her identity?”

Cornelia and Marcus always thought alike.

Marcus knew Cornelia was very smart and could think clearly in any situation. Suddenly, he wasn’t so worried. Before, she had lived just fine without him. In the future, without him, with her abilities so strong, she would probably still live well.

Cornelia asked, “What are you daydreaming about again? What’s on your mind?”

Marcus sard, “I was wondering if you’re as sweet as you are talkative.”

Comelia said. “I’m talking serious stuff, and your brain is…”

Before Comelia could finish, Marcus silenced her with a kiss. She was startled and quickly kicked him. Her period had just started tonight, and she couldn’t allow

his recklessness

Marcus then let her go, “I know what to do. Go to sleep!”

Comelia just stared at him, speechless.

He fell asleep quickly. She, on the other hand, couldn’t sleep.

Not only because she had already had a nap, but more importantly because she had noticed Marcus‘ abnormalities these past few days. Just now, he actually asked her if she had ever thought about leaving Riverton to live somewhere else.

Riverton was his hometown, his birthplace, and the rise of the Hartley family.

Ordinarily, he should want her to stay in Riverton. But he asked her if she wanted to leave and live somewhere else. Cornelia felt that Marcus‘ unusual behavior must be related to Brennen.
