Chapter 404

Comelia’s eyes popped out when she saw the bank card she gave Skyler in his hand, “How on earth did you get this? Did something happen to Skyler?”

“I’ve moved Skyler to a safe place. Zavier won’t be able to find her unless I spill the beans, Marcus said. If Zavier thought he could mess with Cornelia without any backlash, he had another think coming.

“Where did you move her? And why are you giving me the card back? She just settled in Nice and now she has to start all over again. All these costs money. She can’t use her own card, how is she supposed to get by?” Cornelia asked, worried sick.

Marcus took Comelia’s phone, typed in a new number and handed it back to her, “This is her new contact. Once we land, you can call

her.”

“Did Skyler really manage to shake off Zavier this time? Is she really free?” Cornelia asked President Hartley. When he nodded, she heaved a sigh of relief, “Thank you! You’re a good guy!”

It served the rich and powerful Zavier right to be ditched by his wife. On the other hand, Marcus and his wife were as happy as larks. There was a reason for that.

“We’ve got an hour left to fly. Want to take a nap?” President Hartley asked.

Having pulled an all-nighter chatting with Skyler, Cornelia was dead on her feet. Knowing that Skyler was safe, she could finally breathe easy. As soon as she lay down, she was out like a light.

The moment she dozed off, the flight attendant started serving meals. Before she reached them, Marcus made a hush sign, not wanting them to wake Cornelia up.

Over an hour later, the plane landed smoothly in Paris. The moment he turned on his phone, he was flooded with missed calls. Zavier’s call came in hot on their heels.

“Where did you hide Skyler, Marcus?” Zavier practically roared.

With a grin, Marcus asked, “Are you satisfied with the surprise I gave you, Zavier?”

“I’m asking you where you hid Skyler!” Zavier demanded.

“You won’t be able to find her.” Marcus said.

“Tell me where she is, or I’ll do whatever it takes to take Cornelia away. You’ll never be able to find her,” Zavier threatened.

“Are you threatening me again, Zavier? Are you not satisfied with my surprise?” Marcus hung up, then turned to Ayden, who was with him, “You’re going to have your work cut out for you.”

Ayden understood. Marcus wanted him to keep Cornelia safe. “Roger that.” Ayden said.

After assigning Ayden to stick with Cornelia, Ayden had always been on his toes, looking out for her. If it weren’t for Marcus’ instructions today, he wouldn’t have let Zavier take Cornelia away.

Marcus once told him that his job was to ensure Cornelia’s safety, not to keep tabs on her. Hence, Cornélia didn’t need to report her movements to him.

That was why Marcus only started looking for her when he couldn’t reach her and Ayden. He was worried about her safety.

He found out that Cornelia was on a flight from Paris to Nice. Knowing that he couldn’t reach her not because she was in danger, he still felt uneasy and flew to Nice overnight.

He knew Cornelia came to visit Skyler. Zavier might worry that Skyler would bolt and take her back early. To spare Cornelia the worry, Marcus started planning how to sneak Skyler out.

But what he didn’t expect was that Zavier didn’t go after Skyler, but Cornelia.

Zavier was yelling at him on the phone, and Cornelia heard it. Worried, she said, “President Hartley.”

With a smile, Marcus reassured her, “Don’t worry, Cornelia. It’s all good.”
