Cornelia was about to put down her phone when another message from Skyler popped up: [Cornelia, there's something I'm not sure if I should tell you or not.]
Cornelia replied: [We're besties, right? What can't you tell me?]
After a while, Skyler sent another message: [I overhead that Zavier seems to be planning something with Brennen, Granger and others to take down President Hartley.]
[How did you find out?] Cornelia asked.
Skyler answered: [I stumbled upon their conversation. They even mentioned using your mom to manipulate you, making it easier for them to go against President Hartley.]
[Skyler, thank you for letting me know. I'll be careful not to fall into their trap.] Cornelia replied.
Cornelia knew she couldn't really help Marcus, but as long as she protected herself and didn't become a pawn for others to attack Marcus, that was helping enough.
Skyler added: [Cornelia, I might quit and leave the Hartley Group tomorrow.]
[Why?] Cornelia asked.
[I crave freedom. I'm tired of dealing with numbers all day. I don't like this monotonous life.] Skyler replied.
[Whatever you decide to do, I'm on your side.] Cornelia responded.
[Cornelia.] Skyler began.
