Chapter 1085
The fire was raging, and even from a distance, Cornelia could feel the waves of heat hitting her
At this point, it was impossible for anyone to dash in Even if they tossed steel into it, it would probably melt in a blink
of an eye. If Zavier rushed into the fire now, it would be nothing short of suicide Naturally, Marcus and the
bodyguards wouldn’t allow him to do so.
The weather was scorching, and all the buildings in the yard were made of wood, so the fire was spreading like it
was fueled by oil, incredibly fast. As the fire was about to reach them, everyone was in danger if they didn’t
evacuate.
Panicked, Cornelia said, “Knock him out and drag him away.”
Upon hearing this, Marcus swiftly struck Zavier on the back of his neck. The emotionally unstable Zavier passed out

“Ayden‘” Marcus commanded. Ayden immediately stepped forward. Marcus said, “Get Zavier to a safe place right
now. You and Dr. Lester keep an eye on him. If he freaks out again when he wakes up, sedate him”
“Roger” Ayden picked up Zavier and left.
With Zavier down, his men were leaderless and turned to Marcus, “President Hartley, what should we do now?”
Marcus said. “The fire is beyond our control. Have everyone who’s trying to put it out retreat to a safe area and
wait for the firefighters.”
The bodyguard said, “Roger”
Marcus said, “You, come tell me how this fire started”
The bodyguard said, “Alright”
Marcus took a couple of steps and then realized Cornelia was still standing there. He came back and quickly took
her hand, “Comelia, the fire is about to reach us. It’s dangerous here, go to a safe area and wait for me.”
Cornelia said, “Okay. Be careful, I wait for you outside” With the fire being so massive, Cornelia knew she couldn’t
be of any help. If she insisted on staying, she would only distract Marcus. By obediently going to the safe area and
waiting for the firefighters, she was already doing a big favor by not causing trouble for
Marcus.
Marcus ruffled her hair, “I know, go on.”
With a nod, Comelia left
After she left, Marcus looked at the bodyguard. The bodyguard truthfully recounted the events, “President Hartley,
after you left, Mr. Rivera was acting like a madman, kissing and biting Skyler’s body. He even said he wanted to
keep Skyler with him in a special way. Then he took Skyler back to the room, and when he came out to prepare the
tools, there was suddenly a fire in the room.”

Seeing Marcus‘ expression, the bodyguard cautiously said, “President Hartley, as you know, Mr. Rivera is a lunatic.
We don’t know what he will do when he wakes up. His grandfather can’t control him either, so we’ll have to rely on
you in the future.”
Marcus coldly glanced at the bodyguard, “Was it you who said once I left the yard, I would be cut off from him?”
The bodyguard wiped the sweat from his forehead nervously, “I misspoke. You’re so forgiving, please don’t hold a
grudge over this little thing”
Marcus had no plans to hold a grudge, “Regardless of whether the Rivera family can persuade him, you should
inform them to come over as soon as possible. Even if you look down on Skyler, she’s still Zavier’s wife, Mrs.
Rivera.”
The bodyguard said, “Roger”
At this moment, the sound of the fire alarms echoed from the distance. The firefighters had arrived.
Marcus, along with the bodyguards and others, worked hard to assist the firefighters in extinguishing the fire.
