Chapter 879
âThat guy and the little girl kinda look alike, maybe theyâre siblings. The old lady could be their grandmaâ
âI bet theyâre all smitten by Corneliaâs beautyâ
âAre Robison and his wife home? They should have a word with that guy Definitely canât let that shameless girl have it too easyâ
As they were talking the man in the distance suddenly looked up at them. Just a quick glance, and they all shivered in fear
âThat guyâs got some scary eyesâ
âDo you think heâs a fugitive?â
âCould be, why else would he be with Cornelia?â
âShould we call the cops? Get them arrestedâ
âCall the cops! We canât have a murderer in our neighborhoodâ
âI donât think heâs a criminal though. Doesnât have the look or vibe of one.â
âYou canât judge a book by its cover.â
As they were heatedly discussing they saw Cornelia walking towards them with a smile.
Cornelia couldnât hear exactly what they were saying, but she knew it wasnât anything good. âLeila, youâre Leila right? And you, youâre Marina?â
This time, facing their comments, Cornelia didnât avoid them but walked over with a smile, âLong time no see, howâve you been?â
Cornelia greeted with a smile, and they responded quite friendly on the surface, âYeah, itâs been a while! What brings you back?â
But compared to Cornelia, they were more interested in the strangers behind her, who all had quite an impressive demeanor, âAnd who might these people be?â
Cornelia introduced them openly. âThis is my husband, this is his grandma, and this is his sister.â
âYour husband? Youâre married?â Leilaâs daughterâs husband looked like a durian with a bumpy face that made one want to puke just looking at it
Corneliaâs husband was so good looking, even better than TV stars. Seeing him made her feel quite bitter. Her daughterâs husband being not good, she didnât want otherâs daughters to have good ones either, so she said with a sarcastic tone, âDo they know about what you did in Rosenberg? Bet they donât!â
âWhat did she do in Rosenberg?â Marcus stepped in front of Cornelia, blocking those malicious gazes, âYou better have evidence, or else youâre just slandering. You know what slander is, right? If you donât, you can look it up onlineâ
And there was Grandma Luisa, there was no way sheâd let anyone bully Cornelia, âYouâre all women. We shouldnât be giving each other a hard time. We know what kind of person Cornelia is, and we certainly donât need you gossipers judging. If I hear you slandering her again, I wonât let it slideâ
Briana also stood up for Cornelia, âSheâs the best girl in the world, and if anyone dares slander her, I wonât let it slide either.â
