Chapter 1166
Grandpa Augustine asked, “Is there any thing going on between Marc and Skyler?*
Cornelia answered, “What are you gabbing about, Grandpa Augustine? Marc is all good, he only has eyes for me.
How could he possibly have anything with Skyler?”
Grandpa Augustine chuckled, patting Cornelia’s head, “I didn’t mean they have that kind of thing.”
Cornelia whispered, “Grandpa Augustine, you can’t just blurt out things that can be misunderstood”
Grandpa Augustine said, “Alright, I’ll zip it. But you know what they say, ‘men’s lips are like fish they both get into
trouble when they open. Why do you trust Marc to only have you in his heart? Why do you believe he won’t play
around when you’re not around?”

Grandpa Augustine said, “Hmm, trust is indeed crucial for a lasting relationship. I hope you two will always live
happily ever after.”
Cornelia answered, “Thanks for your blessings, Grandpa Augustine. We will certainly stick together.”
Grandpa Augustine said, “We’ll chat about other things later. I have a gift for you.”
Cornelia answered, “I don’t need anything, you don’t need to gift me anything.”
Grandpa Augustine said, “Who said you don’t need anything? With the situation today, you only have Ayden by your
side. No matter how good he is, he can’t handle everything alone.”
Grandpa Augustine turned Cornelia around, gesturing to the back.
Cornelia saw two rows of well-organized people, ten in each row, twenty in total. They were all young and energetic
bodyguards, looking capable and
strong.
Grandpa Augustine said, “I want to give you this team of bodyguards. From now on, they’ll be responsible for your
safety. With them around, I can rest easy.”
Cornelia answered, “Grandpa Augustine, I don’t need it. Today was just an anomaly.”
Grandpa Augustine cut her off, “Who said you don’t need it? I’m old, and I can’t handle such incidents anymore. If
anything happens to you, I’ll join Granny Rebecca and your father Colter.”
Cornelia had to accept, Thank you, Grandpa Augustine!”
Grandpa Augustine turned to the bodyguards, “Starting from now, your loyalty lies with the girl beside me. Her
name is Cornelia, my granddaughter.”

Everyone shouted in unison, “Miss Cornelia, from today onwards, we will serve you.”
Cornelia nodded slightly, giving an embarrassed smile, “Hello, everyone!”
That moment, Cornelia truly realized how badass Grandpa Augustine was. This bodyguard team was not something
an average joe could afford. It was indeed a waste to have her use them.
As everyone was about to leave, Brian and others finally arrived. A rare look of panic appeared on Brian’s face,
“Grandpa Augustine, I’m sorry. I dropped the ball.”
Grandpa Augustine’s smile vanished, his friendly eyes turned sharp instantly, not resembling the kind guy Cornelia
knew, “Is this how you guys take care of Nelly?”
Brian answered, “We screwed up. We’ll accept the punishment.”
Grandpa Augustine asked, “Do I need to punish you? You know what you did wrong, right?”
Brian answered, “I know. I’ll take everyone to the church for a month of penance.”
Wyatt bowed his head, not daring to utter a word. Alexa was the same.
