In the past, Cornelia couldn’t comprehend the despair Hannah and Skyler felt. Now, she was beginning to…
Feeling powerless, trapped like a fish in a barrel, at the mercy of Marcus!
Her eyes widened, trying to make out the man before her, but his face morphed into something terrifying, as if he was going to devour her whole. Suddenly, her phone, which Marcus had snatc hed away, rang.
She had different ringtones for different callers, so the moment she heard this ringtone, Cornelia knew it was Zack calling. She tried to push Marcus away but couldn’t. In her desperation, hot tears trickled down her cheeks. Her tears fell on Marcus’ hand, causing his heart to jolt, his sanity quickly returning.
Marcus finally stopped. He let her go, opened his mouth as if to say something, but no words came out.

Cornelia snatc hed her phone back, quickly answering, “Zack, come pick me up at Blueshell Mansion.”
Her voice was shaky and tear-choked. Without asking questions, Zack responded, “Wait there, I’m on my way.”
Cornelia quickly left, not sparing Marcus a glance, making a beeline for the exit.
She didn’t even change, just dashed downstairs.
Marcus, “Cornelia…”
By the time he chased after her, Cornelia was already in the elevator.
What the hell just happened?
He didn’t even understand why he had acted so impulsively. How could he hurt her over just a few words?
Cornelia, in nothing but a sundress, still bore the marks left by Marcus. Even after applying some ointment, the marks were still visible. Anyone who saw her would think she had been attacked. Some even approached her, “Did you run into some bad guy? Do you need us to call the police?”
