Cornelia cared the world for Skyler. There was no way she would do anything to embarrass her.
Marcus saw through her, "Cornelia, don't sweat what other people think. Just go with your gut."
Cornelia chuckled a bit, "But opinions matter. We're in a world where few can really do as they please."
Could others do it or not? Cornelia didn't know. All she knew was that she couldn't.
And she guessed Skyler probably couldn't either.
Marcus said, “Let's roll.”
“Sure.” Cornelia glanced at Ayden.
Ayden had been with Marcus for way longer than she knew him. Because Marcus had always shown her respect, Ayden had treated her the same way.
On the other hand, Dr. Dawson, despite being with Marcus for years, got fired for disrespecting him.
Zavier's bodyguard dared belittle Skyler, disrespect Skyler, which only meant Zavier had never shown Skyler the respect she deserved in front of his subordinates.
At this moment, Cornelia was both heartbroken for Skyler and felt helpless. She wanted to help Skyler, but didn't know how. Because Zavier was Skyler's husband, many people saw whatever harm he did to Skyler as their private business, none other's beeswax. Just like when many victims of domestic violence sought help, people would say it was a family matter, and outsiders shouldn't poke their noses into it.
