Chapter 1077
But Comelia had seen it all. Skyler was covered in scars of various sizes, some red, some purple Each one a silent testament to Zavierâs cruelty.
That bastardâ
Sharp pangs of pain searing through Comeliaâs nerves, she was on the verge of collapsing
But she managed to stagger past Marcus, picked up the scattered clothes, and wobbled towards Skyler, âLet me put some clothes on Skyler firstâ She said to the unhinged Zavier.
Heaning Comeliaâs voice, Zavier jerked his head up. âYou? You dare show up?â
His eyes were filled with intense killing intent, as if he wanted to tear Cornelia to shreds.
Cornelia repeated, âLet me put some clothes on Skyler firstâ
Suddenly, Zavier reached out and grabbed Cornelia by the throat. âWhat magic have you cast on Skyler you witch? Why would she rather die than stay with me?â
Like a bolt of lightning. Marcus rushed up and rescued Comelia from Zavierâs grasp, his voice chillingly terrifying, âZavier, are you asking for a death wish?â
Pushed away forcefully, Zavier began to laugh maniacally, âYes, I want to die! Whatâs the point of living if Skyler is dead? Marcus, kill me. Let me join her.â
âIf you really want to die, then fineâ Marcus turned his worried gaze to Cornelia, âAre you okay?â
Comelia shook her head
Seeing Cornelia was okay, the murderous intent in Marcusâ eyes slowly faded. He stared coldly at Zavier, âIâve told you many times, if you truly love Skyler, you should treat her well. Look at what youâve done!â
Cornelia coughed twice, then took over, âYou claim to love Skyler, yet you hurt her. Is that love? Thatâs just sick possessiveness.â
She walked back towards Skyler, ignoring her own safety, and draped the clothes over Skylerâs battered body, trying to give her some dignity.
Zavier claimed he loved Skyler. Now that seemed more ridiculous than a joke. He was just using love as an excuse to harm a girl who was weaker than him in every
respect
It was like those stones where the male lead sexually assaults the female lead upon their first meeting, saying âIâll take responsibilityâ or âTll marry you. Just because he said it beforehand, did it stop being assault?
And those stories where the male lead treated the female lead like dirt, yet she fell for him. Those were just stories!
Skyler was a real person, a living, thinking individual with a solid understanding of what was right and wrong. A man professed his love to her every day, yet kept her locked up, torturing her, forcing her to do things she didnât want to do. She knew this wasnât love.
It was sick control!
The more Cornelia thought about it, the angrier and guiltier she felt. She had sensed that Skyler was in danger. She could have saved her again. But she listened to the bodyguardâs advice, believed it was a marital issue, thought she, as an outsider, shouldnât interfere. So, she chose not to intervene.
If she hadnât listened to those negative comments, if she were mentally stronger, could she have ignored the criticism?
Could she have saved Skyler again? But there were no ifs.
