Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1161

Meanwhile, Cornelia was riding shotgun in Ayden's whip, heading towards Grandpa Augustine's crib. But just as they entered the Capital, Ayden smelled a rat, "Cornelia, we got a tail."

Cornelia also noticed a strange car tailing them. At first, she thought it might be Grandpa Augustine's protection detail. But as the car got closer, she realized it wasn't the same fleet she saw earlier in the day.

"Could it be Zavier's goons?" She wondered.

Ayden nodded, flooring the gas, "Zavier took Skyler's death hard. He's lost his marbles. He blames you for Skyler's death, so he's got a major beef with you. Even though he knows better than to mess with the Duran family, I won't put it past him to make a move on you."

After a short pause, Ayden continued, "The Capital is Zavier's turf. Right now, it's just you and me against him, so it won't be a walk in the park. Can you contact Grandpa Augustine and get him to send some backup? I'll try to hold off Zavier's men as long as I can."

"Alright, I'll call him right now." Cornelia immediately dialed Grandpa Augustine.

She didn't want to worry him, but given that his people might be nearby, asking Grandpa Augustine for help was the smart move.

Hearing the news, Grandpa Augustine was both angry and worried, "I've set up so much protection for you, where the hell are they now? Nelly, don't worry, I'll send someone for you right away."

Cornelia responded, "Grandpa Augustine, I'm not scared. Even if Zavier gets me, he can't do anything to me. I can handle him."

Even though she said she had a plan, she didn't really have anything up her sleeve. She just wanted to reassure Grandpa Augustine. But even without a specific plan, she knew she had to think of some strategies in case she ended up in Zavier's clutches, so she could get herself out of the jam.

Grandpa Augustine replied, "Alright, stay on the line. I need to know what's going on."
