Chapter 1078
She bought into the voices that doubted her She became fearful, shrinking back, unable to save Skyler once more
Skyler was no longer able to see the goodness in the world
Zavier smirked, “My feelings for her aren’t love? I only have a sick obsession with her? How long have you known
Skyler? What gives you the right to judge me?”
Comelia didn’t want to argue anymore, “You should put Skyler down It’s causing her pain”
Zavier blocked out everything else. All he could hear were Comelia’s accusations. “There are plenty of women
who’d want to sleep with me, I could have any number of women every day, but I don’t. It has always been just
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSkyler for me. In the months she’s been gone, I’ve had physical needs and handled it myself, never been with
another woman. If this isn’t love, then tell me, what is it?”
Comelia replied coldly, “You think because you haven’t slept with other women, that means you love Skyler? Zavier,
stop fooling yourself. If Skyler could feel your love, would she rather die than be with you? Skyler is dead, died in
your arms, died while you were raping her”
Those words, they stung Zavier deeply. But he still refused to admit that Skyler’s death had anything to do with him.
He swung at Cornelia, so swift that she couldn’t dodge. Fortunately, Marcus was always cautious. He caught
Zavier’s fist in time, forcefully pushing it away and dragged Comelia up. “Let’s go!”
Zavier laid Skyler’s body on the ground, slowly stood up, “Marc, your wife is here, don’t let her leave. She was close
with Skyler. Let her keep Skyler company. Then my wife is dead, yours too, and we can still be friends, right?”
Just as Zavier finished speaking, the lights in the courtyard flickered erratically, going bright then dark,
accompanied by eerie music.
“Comelia, don’t be scared, and don’t listen to the music.” Marcus quickly covered Cornelia’s ears.
Cornelia didn’t know what was happening, but she too covered his ears immediately. Seeing her instinctual reaction
helped Marcus feel a little better. He smiled and gently touched her forehead. Though he said nothing. Comelia
could see the meaning in his eyes.
This scene hurt Zavier deeply.
He didn’t understand why Cornelia and Marcus were so close, why Skyler was so repelled by him? But it didn’t

Soon, Marcus would lose Cornelia, just like him, a man who lost his wife.

Zavier said, “Speak.”
The man stuttered, “Our security system has been compromised. The assassins we’ve hidden here have all been
controlled.”
Zavier looked at Marcus, “Marc, I underestimated you”
Marcus said, “I never had any intention of confronting you, nor of hurting you, but I’ve always stayed vigilant.”
Zavier said, “I can’t kill Cornelia today, but I have plenty of opportunities.”
A bodyguard received a message, his face turned pale and hurriedly said, “Mr. Rivera, I just got word from the
Capital, Old Duran wants to adopt Cornelia as his granddaughter”
Zavier asked, “Which Old Duran?”
