Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 356

Marcus chuckled, "That was Zavier on the phone. He won't do anything to my wife, no need to get your knickers in a twist."

"Has he found out where Skyler is?" She had just received news about Skyler, and Zavier called immediately. Cornelia couldn't help but suspect Zavier already knew where Skyler was. If Zavier found out Skyler's whereabouts from her, and Skyler was once again under Zavier's control, Skyler would be in serious jeopardy.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened Cornelia became. Her hand clenching into a fist on her thigh.

Marcus had the chef serve the dishes. He served Cornelia a bowl of soup first, "It's cold out, have some soup to warm up."

Due to all the conjectures in her mind, Cornelia felt as cold as ice. She needed the soup to warm her up, but she was too agitated to drink. "Marcus, Zavier knows where Skyler is, doesn't he?"

Marcus didn't immediately answer Cornelia's question; he wanted to give her a glimmer of hope. But since she insisted on knowing, he told her the truth. After all, she was his wife, and she would face many similar problems in the future. It was better to get her used to such situations sooner rather than later.

He said, "Cornelia, you and Skyler both underestimated Zavier. It's understandable that you underestimate him because you don't know him. But Skyler, having been with him for so many years, still underestimates him. All it shows is that her escape plan was doomed from the start."

Marcus' words shattered Cornelia's hopes, leaving her feeling helpless, scared, and a whole mix of emotions.

Without thinking, she quickly pulled out her phone to call Skyler.

Marcus simply took her phone away, "Cornelia, you need to cool your jets! Whether Skyler can escape Zavier's control has nothing to do with you. It's between them. You get me?"

His deep, sexy voice slowly brought her back to her senses, "Marcus, my personal phone might be tapped by Zavier."

Marcus was glad that Cornelia didn't suspect him of leaking Skyler's escape route, so he decided to hit her with the harsh truth, "Zavier hasn't tapped your phone, nor would he dare to. He's been tapping Skyler's phone."

That truth hit Cornelia like a bolt from the blue, leaving her mind blank.

Skyler had planned for so long, and racked her brains to get away from Zavier. They thought Skyler had made it, and that she could start over, but from Marcus and Zavier's point of view, their thoughts were nothing but a joke.

Marcus and Zavier watched them run around like headless chickens, while they thought they were pulling off some covert operation.

They let Skyler escape, letting her run around like a mouse in a game of cat and mouse.

Cornelia took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, "President Hartley, could I have my phone back please?"

"Cornelia, letting Skyler believe that she has escaped Zavier's control, letting her think she's free now, isn't that a good thing? Why would you want to disrupt her peaceful life? Some things are better left unknown. Life can go on peacefully, but once you know, it can become difficult, even life-threatening." Marcus casually dropped the bombshell that Cornelia was reluctant to accept.

When Cornelia looked at Marcus again, her eyes were filled with deep fear.
