Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1071

With each step, Cornelia kept glancing back, "Jeremy, I reckon Zavier's lost his marbles. With Skyler alone with him, will he hurt her?"

"Get in the car, I'll ring Zavier." Marcus whipped out his mobile and dialed Zavier's number. After two rings, the call was cut off. He dialed again, only to get an automated message that the phone was switched off.

Cornelia said, "Zavier's not only ignoring your calls but has his phone turned off? What's up with that?"

Marcus shared Cornelia's concern. He feared that Zavier might do something rash and regret it later, "Cornelia, wait here. I'll go back and check."

Cornelia said, "I'm coming with you."

"Alright." Marcus took Cornelia's hand and turned to go back, only to be blocked by a sudden appearance of a bodyguard.

The bodyguard, a stern expression on his face, said, "President Hartley, you've stepped out of this compound. Without Mr. Rivera's permission, we cannot let you in. Please understand."

Marcus stared coldly at the guard in front, "And what if I insist on going in?"

Cornelia quickly held Marcus back and politely said to the guard, "We mean no harm, we just want to speak with Skyler again."

The guard replied, "Mr. Rivera has already made it clear that once you leave this compound, you're no longer his friend. If you're not his friends, it's going to be tough getting in. If you want to talk to Skyler, please contact her. She can come out to meet you."

Since Skyler returned to Zavier, her phone was controlled by him. Cornelia couldn't get through to her, or else she wouldn't have bothered with this.
