Cometa said. âIf you hadnât just shown up out of the blue, Iâd be more than happy to meet you. But itâs late now, and I gotta be up early tomorrow Whatever you want to say, letâs just hash it out over the phoneâ
Zavier said, âWell, your butler already let me in Iâm already in your yard
the Capital, and they hung out pretty often. As long as Grandpa Augustine didnât object, theyâd let him
The Rivera family and the Duran family were in the house.
Comelia went silent. With no other choice, she had to descend the stairs once more to
her guest.
She and Zavier almost arrived in the living room at the same time. Zavier brushed snow off his shoulder, handed his cont at home, âI need to talk to Cornelia alone. You all can leave now
butler, and made himself
The butler glanced at Cornelia, and seeing her nod, he took the others and left.
Cornelia turned to Zavier His hair, which had turned gray overnight months ago, was even all gray now âMr. Rivera, whatâs up?â Cornelia asked.
Zavier didnât beat around the bush, âSkyler is still alive! Iâm sure that Skyler is still alive!â
Hearing that Skyler was still alive, Cornelia was somewhat excited. She even wished she could believe as firmly as Zavier that Skyler was still alive. But her senses told her that Skyler had died in that big fire, turned into ashes, and couldnât possibly still be alive. âZavier, dead people canât come back to life. You didnât treat her well when she was alive, and now that youâve lost her completely, youâre regretting itâ Cornelia said.
Zavier stared intently at Cornelia, his eyes piercing as if trying to see through her, Those ashes from that time, I had them all tested. They were all wood residue, no human tissue at allâ
Hearing this, Corneliaâs heart suddenly beat faster, âIs Skyler really still alive? Really?â
Dared she hope that much?
âSo you really didnât know about Skyler faking her deathâ That was why Zavier had to see Cornelia in person to tell her this.
No matter how good her acting skills, her eyes couldnât lie. Just now, he saw many emotions in her eyes, surprise, joy, etc., but there was no panic from being found out.
Cornelia asked, âYouâthink I was in on it with Skyler, playing you?â
Zavier didnât deny it and changed the subject, âWhereâs your husband? Get him out here, Iâll ask him myself. He must know where Skyler isâ
Cornelia said, âMarc was with me all the time, so he never had a chance to meet Skyler alone. If Skyler really faked her death, and he knew about it, it was probably because he noticed something unusual and guessed the truth. Thereâs no way he could have been in cahoots with Skyler.â
Zavier said, âYou two are divorced, and youâre still referring to him as your husband?â
Cornelia said, âSo whatâ¦â
She was just trying to clear Marcus of any suspicion, didnât want him to be misunderstood by Zavier anymore, but she wasnât paying attention to Zavierâs
words.
Zavier continued, âHe betrayed your marriage, and youâre divorced. You still speak so highly of him, why?â
Cornelia replied, âFalling in love can happen in an instant. I can understand that he fell for another woman. Just because he wasnât faithful in love doesnât mean I can deny his abilities.â
Zavier said, âYouâre really broadâmindedâ
Cornelia replied, âAnd what if Iâm not? Should I cry every day? Should I tell everyone that the Marcus I met is an unfaithful man?â
Zavier said, âRight now, nobody knows where Marc is hiding, Iâve been looking for a while and canât find him. Itâs like he just disappeared from the world, do you know where he is?â
Cornelia replied, âDo I look like I know?â
Zavier said, âIndeed, you donâtâ
