Chapter 1053
Comelia was about to put down her phone when another message from Skyler popped up: [Comelia, thereâs something Iâm not sure if I should tell you or not.
Comelia replied. [Weâre besties, right? What canât you tell me?]
After a while, Skyler sent another message: [] overhead that Zavier seems to be planning something with Brennert, Granger and others to take down President Hartley]
How did you find out?] Comelia asked.
Skyler answered: I stumbled upon their conversation. They even mentioned using your mom to manipulate you, making it easier for them to go against President Hartley]
[Skyler, thank you for letting me know. Iâll be careful not to fall into their trap] Cornelin replied.
Comelia knew she couldnât really help Marcus, but as long as she protected herself and didnât become a pawn for others to attack Marcus, that was helping enough
Skyler added [Comelia, I might quit and leave the Hartley Group tomorrow.]
[Why? Comelia asked.
I crave freedom. Iâm tired of dealing with numbers all day. I donât like this monotonous life] Skyler replied.
[Whatever you decide to do, Iâm on your side] Comelia responded
[Comelia] Skyler began.
[Skyler, just spit it out. Donât hold back] Cornelia replied.
[Letâs call it a night and we can have a good chat after we meet tomorrow night] Skyler suggested.
[Sure] Comelia agreed.
After ending the chat with Skyler, Cornelia found it hard to fall asleep. She thought Marcus had hidden Skyler far away, yet Skyler was actually very close.
As the saying went, the most dangerous place was the safest place. If her mother was still alive, could she be somewhere close too? That thought made Corneliaâs
heart race
She sent another message to Zavier [Mr. Rivera, is what you said true?]
After sending the message, Cornelia waited for a long time, but Zavier didnât reply What she didnât know was that Zavier had already fallen asleep. And by Zavierâs bed sat a woman holding Zavierâs phone, staring blankly at the new message. This woman was Skyler
Skyler looked at Comeliaâs message, thought of many possible replies. But in the end she didnât respond. She
gently put Zavierâs phone back.
She sat by Zavierâs bed, quietly looking at him. She had known Zavier for many years In the early years of their marriage, she had wanted to have a good life with Zavier. But every time she tried to make this marnage work, Zavier shattered her dreams. He never treated her as his wife
The more she was disappointed, the colder her heart became. But strangely, after she left, not only did Zavier spend a lot of effort looking for her, he also said he liked her, couldnât live without her
Was this the classic case of not knowing what they have until it was gone?
Skyler wasnât sure what Zavier truly felt, but his feelings werenât important to her. She came this time hoping Zavier would stop, not to fight with Marcus anymore She knew that once she returned to Zavierâs side, she might relive the hellish life.
