Chapter 1079

In the Capital, the only one referred to as Old Duran, other than Augustine Duran of the Duran family, didn’t exist. That was what Zavier knew, but he just didn’t

wanna believe it.

The bodyguard muttered, “Mr. Rivera, it’s the Dumn family The most powerful in the Capital

The Duran family was way more than just that Generally speaking, the influence of the Duran family was something ordinary businessmen couldn’t touch.

Thinking of Old Duran, even a nutcase like Zavier felt a chill down his spine, “How could this be? Could there be a mix–up?”

The bodyguard replied. “The message came from your grandfather There’s no mistake”

Zavier tumed to Comelia, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock, “Cornelia, what’s your secret? You’ve actually gotten in touch with Augustine!

Comelia didn’t know what her secret was. She didn’t even know when she was acknowledged as Old Duran’s granddaughter.

However, Marcus knew how exceptional Comelia was, and why Augustine wanted to acknowledge her as his granddaughter

Before Comelia could ask, he had already given her the answer, “After our last meal, Old Duran was really impressed with you. He mentioned in private that he wants to acknowledge you as his granddaughter. I haven’t had the chance to tell you yet.”

Zavier said, “I see. She’s just a small assistant from a small city. How could she have such influence? So, you’ve been pulling all the strings behind the scenes. Are you womed that after you leave, she won’t have anyone to protect her, so you got her connected with the Duran family for backup?”

Comelia caught the most crucial word in Zavier’s sentence, “Leaving?”

Marcus responded quickly. “We should go.”

Zavier said, “Your husband is leaving.”

Comelia immediately pushed Marcus away. She couldn’t leave before she figured out what Zavier meant, “Zavier, explain yourself.”

But Marcus suddenly leaned into Cornelia. Cornelia, caught off guard, held Marcus back, “What’s wrong?”

Marcus held his chest, whispering. “The scent here makes it difficult for me to breathe.”

Comelia immediately supported Marcus, “Okay, let’s get out of here.”

They wanted to go, but Zavier wasn’t about to let them, “Marcus, I said I would make your wife die. How can I let her leave alive?”

Marcus, who had been staggering, suddenly stood tall, shielding Cornelia, “You want to hurt Cornelia? You’re not capable of it

With that, Marcus led Cornelia away.

Zavier yelled, “Stop them. They can’t leave until they hand over Skyler”

However, Zavier didn’t expect that Ayden had already surrounded all his men. He couldn’t stop anyone. He could only watch as Marcus took Cornelia away.

After walking a few steps, Marcus turned back, “The only thing you can do now is to give Skyler a proper burial. You didn’t respect her when she was alive. Now that she’s gone, I hope you can give her the dignity she deserves.”

“Dignity?” Zavier laughed like a madman, That woman was sent to my family when she was a teenager. Everything she had was given by me. From the moment the Blue family sent her over, she became my pet. She’s just a pet, and what dignity can she expect?”

Cornelia thought Zavier had truly gone mad. She wanted to say more, but Marcus forcibly took her away.

After they left, Zavier walked towards Skyler while laughing, picked up Skyler from the ground, and kissed her cold, colorless lips. “Skyler, they say I’m mad. Do you think I’m mad?”
