Chapter 793

“Not placing a bet?” Zavier seemed surprised by Marcus’s blunt refusal. He echoed Marcus’s words, lit a cigarette and said, “Since when did you, the CEO of the Hartley Group, become such a chicken?”

Marcus looked up at Zavier, “No bet means no bet Your words don’t faze me, so save your breath”

Zavier snuffed out the just lit cigarette in the ashtray. “Marc, I’m giving you a few more days. If you don’t return Skyler to me, don’t say I didn’t warn you”

Marcus swirled his drink, about to take a sip but remembering Cornelia’s advice. He set it down and said, “I’m in this till the end.”

Steven asked, “What are you guys doing? It’s just a girl. Is it worth ruining your brotherhood over a girl?”

“Just a girl?” Zavier was provoked by the comment. Now he wasn’t just mad at Marcus, he was pissed at Steven, “If one day he hides your girl, would you still say it’s just a

girl?”

Steven replied, “Hannah would never leave me.”

Zavier turned to Lucas, ‘Lucas, what about you?”

Lucas replied, “If someone hides Rosie, I’d fight them to the death.”

He knew from a young age that he was going to marry Rosie. The name Rosie was deeply etched in his mind. He couldn’t imagine life without Rosie.

Lucas continued, “I can’t live without Rosie. She’s my wife, I love her, and I can’t be without her. Zavier, why can’t you live without Skyler? Is it a matter of pride or something

else?”

Zavier had always been reluctant to admit his feelings for Skyler. Maybe he didn’t realize how important she was to him until she left.

Lucas went on, “If you’re looking for Skyler because you like her, and can’t live without her, then admit it. If you want to confess, do it openly. Maybe Marc will tell Skyler and she’ll come back.”

“I do like her. I can’t live without her. So, Marc, can you give me Skyler’s address? Let me find her.” Zavier’s candidness made everyone skeptical of his feelings for Skyler.

Lucas said, “Can you sound more sincere when you say these things? It sounds fake to us.”

Zavier looked at Marcus, “Marc.”

Marcus said, “If Skyler wants to come back to you, she will. Telling me this is pointless.”

Marcus was unmoved by Zavier’s strong stance. Zavier tried to appeal to him emotionally, “Marc, it’s been 109 days since I last heard from Skyler. Do you know how I’ve survived these days? I’ve sent people all over the world to find her. I’d go wherever there’s a trace of her. Even with repeated disappointments, I’ve never given up. I always believe that one day I’ll find her.”

Despite Zaviers sweet words, Marcus replied, “I don’t know where Skyler is now.”

Hearing this, Zavier exploded like a ticking bomb, “What did you say? Say that again!”

Zavier’s threats didn’t bother Marcus. He responded calmly, “I don’t know where your wife is.”

Zavier smashed his glass against the wall, “Marcus, I’m warning you, don’t make me to force you.”
