Chapter 1162

If they hit at this speed, there was a good chance someone was gonna bite the dust.

Even though Cornelia claimed she was not scared one bit, she was definitely bluffing. However, she reminded herself not to lose her cool in front of

others.

Grandpa Augustine was freaking out on the other end of the phone, “Nelly, crank up the volume on your phone and let me talk to Zavier”

“Grandpa Augustine, I got this” Cornelia hung up the phone. Through the car window, she spotted a tall man getting out of the car next to them. It was

Zavier.

Now that Cornelia was cornered by Zavier, and the backup Grandpa Augustine promised hadn’t arrived yet, it was all up to her now, “Ayden, stay put. I’ll

handle this.”

“No way, Zavier’s a nutjob. He might just shoot you. You can’t risk it. Ayden protested.

Cornelia just smiled calmly, “If I stay in the car, he won’t shoot?”

“They’re not a large group. I can take them all down. If I can’t, I’ll hold them off until Old Augustine’s reinforcements arrive to give you a chance to escape” Ayden assured her.

“Zavier has no beef with you. He won’t hurt you. Stay in the car. Don’t get out. I’ll negotiate with him.” Cornelia insisted.

“No way!” Ayden was adamant..

*Didn’t Marcus assign you to me and told you to follow my orders? I’m ordering you to stay put. Don’t get out of the car.” Cornelia directed.

Ayden didn’t listen and tried to get out of the car, but a second later, Zavier threatened, “Ayden, if you move an inch, I’ll take you down with me.”

Zavier was a loose cannon, capable of anything, no matter how insane. If he threatened to take someone down with him, he’d do it. Ayden wasn’t afraid of dying, but he was worried about not being able to protect Cornelia. So, he pulled his foot back.

“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.” Cornelia reassured Ayden before getting out of the car, “Mr. Rivera, you’re making a big scene looking for me. What’s up?”

Only Zavier got out of the car on his side. He coldly looked at Cornelia and beckoned her over, “Come join me and watch the traffic below.”

This spot was a freeway overpass, about a dozen feet high. Below was a stream of cars. If someone fell down from here, it would be a gruesome sight.

Was Zavier trying to scare her? Or was he actually considering tossing her off this overpass?

Cornelia thought for a moment, couldn’t come up with an answer, but decided to approach him anyway.

When she joined him, Zavier didn’t do anything to her. Instead, he pulled out his phone to call Marcus.

“Mrs. Hartley, hold on a sec. I need to call Marcus first. I want to know whether he wants you dead or alive.” Zavier said.

Given Zavier’s current state, anything could set him off, so Cornelia chose to stay silent. What he didn’t expect was that Marcus‘ phone rang for quite a while, but no one picked up. This completely set Zavier off.

He suddenly grabbed Cornelia by the hair and jerked her head back, “Call Marcus now and tell him to answer my call ASAP, or you won’t like what happens next!”
