Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1436

"Cornelia, spill it."

Steven said, "Sure, the Duran family is mighty powerful, but your grandpa's got his own fish to fry. You can't always count on your grandpa's connections and influence to pull strings for others."

Cornelia just smirked, not giving him a response. She waved him off and went on her way. She knew her grandpa had his own stuff to handle, so she would avoid bothering him as much as she could. The only time she cashed in on her grandpa's clout was to rescue Hannah.

If she hadn't stepped in, Steven would have come home to a corpse.

The whole Skyler incident was ages ago, but it was still fresh in Cornelia's mind. She kept thinking if only she had done a bit more, and if only she hadn't backed down because of all the gossip, would Skyler still be alive?

But there was no use crying over spilled milk.

......

Daniela's arm got wrenched out of its socket by Steven. She had a doctor pop it back in, but her rage was still boiling.

The hospital exit to their parked car was just a hop, skip, and a jump away, but she had already cussed Hannah out more than a hundred times.

Once in the car, she gave the woman in the driver's seat a sour look. "I wasn't even in the car yet, and you're already lounging around. You don't give a rat's ass about anyone else."

This woman was the fake nurse who had visited Hannah's hospital room. Her name was Florrie, a pal of Daniela's since childhood, and always had Daniela's back.

Florrie said, "I didn't come to get you because I didn't want to blow my cover. Don't sweat it, we'll get back at that bitch soon enough."
