Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 477

"Argh!" A man let out a scream as his arm was twisted.

"Where the hell did you come from, sticking your nose into our business? Are you asking for trouble?" The rest of the group quickly surrounded him, pulling out knives hidden in their pockets, ready to stab Marcus.

The sunlight glinted off the knives, flashing before Cornelia's eye. It made her heart flutter, "President Hartley, watch out!"

Without a moment's hesitation, she rushed out from behind the two boys, trying to help Marcus. But her path was blocked by a sturdy figure. Marcus grabbed her, forcibly pulling her back.

Before they could even touch the hem of Marcus's clothes. Ayden had shown up on the scene, knocking them all to the ground one by one.

Realizing they were up against a stronger opponent, they scrambled to their feet and tried to run.

Feeling the danger had passed, Cornelia breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly realized they couldn't let these people escape just like that, "These people might be human traffickers. We can't let them get away. I've called the police, and they should be here soon."

"Ayden, don't let them escape." After instructing Ayden, Marcus pulled Cornelia back again, "You knew there was danger ahead and you still charged forward. Don't you realize how serious this is?"

Faced with danger, Cornelia didn't have time to think too much. She instinctively wanted to protect him, "I can't let you get hurt. Your safety affects the entire Hartley Group, and all of us who rely on the Hartley Group for our living and to pay off our mortgages."

Marcus was infuriated by her words, "Is money more important than life?"

Cornelia smiled faintly, "Isn't money important?"

Marcus responded, "Is money as important as life?"
