In the Capital, the only one referred to as Old Duran, other than Augustine Duran of the Duran family, didn't exist. That was what Zavier knew, but he just didn't wanna believe it.
The bodyguard muttered, "Mr. Rivera, it's the Duran family. The most powerful in the Capital."
The Duran family was way more than just that. Generally speaking, the influence of the Duran family was something ordinary businessmen couldn't touch.
Thinking of Old Duran, even a nutcase like Zavier felt a chill down his spine, "How could this be? Could there be a mix-up?"
The bodyguard replied, "The message came from your grandfather. There's no mistake."
Zavier turned to Cornelia, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock, "Cornelia, what's your secret? You've actually gotten in touch with Augustine!"
Cornelia didn't know what her secret was. She didn't even know when she was acknowledged as Old Duran's granddaughter.
However, Marcus knew how exceptional Cornelia was, and why Augustine wanted to acknowledge her as his granddaughter.
Before Cornelia could ask, he had already given her the answer, "After our last meal, Old Duran was really impressed with you. He mentioned in private that he wants to acknowledge you as his granddaughter. I haven't had the chance to tell you yet."
Zavier said, "I see. She's just a small assistant from a small city. How could she have such influence? So, you've been pulling all the strings behind the scenes. Are you worried that after you leave, she won't have anyone to protect her, so you got her connected with the Duran family for backup?"
Cornelia caught the most crucial word in Zavier's sentence, "Leaving?"
Marcus responded quickly. "We should go."
Zavier said, "Your husband is leaving."
