    Chapter 902


    Comelia cut him off mid–sentence, “I know you’ve been good to my grandma, and you’ve done


    everything you could to help me take care of her and made sure we had no worries in Riverton I know


    you’ve been good to me, but what I want to know is why you couldn’t just tell me straight?”


    Facing her usations, Marcus‘ gaze under his silver spectacles was filled with guilt and panic,


    “Comelia, have you ever felt what it’s like to try so hard yet fail to get close to someone?”


    Comelia responded, “Yes! When my father left me in a car ident, and now when my grandma left


    me, they were right next to me, but I couldn’t reach them no matter how hard I tried ”


    “I feel the same way right now. Because I’m scared that you are right beside me, but I can’t get close to


    you…” Marcus pushed up his silver sses and suddenlyughed, hisughter deep. “I don’t even


    know myself when you became such an important part of my life. I don’t even dare to think about how I


    would continue to live if you left me Cornelia, I like you, I’m afraid of losing you, so when ites to


    dealing with things rted to you, I be indecisive,pletely unlike my usual self.”


    Cornelia was no foo. She could feel that Marcus‘ way of handling Granny Reba’s affairs was


    completely different from his past.


    She hadn’t expected that when she confronted him angrily, she would receive his sincere and direct


    confession. His voice was low, each word rhythmically spoken from his mouth, like beautiful notes


    striking her ears, sinking into her heart.


    “Cornelia…” Marcus opened his arms and held her tightly.


    Cornelia didn’t struggle, just let him hold her, “My grandma and John had no conflicts, why did he want


    to kill my grandma?*


    Marcus‘ tall body stiffened slightly, and Cornelia noticed something was wrong. “Does this have


    anything to do with me? You must tell me the truth, no hiding anything”


    Marcus said, “John has been driving for my grandma for over twenty years. He was with my grandma


    before I was even born, and we always treated him like family. He was always loyal to our family, even


    to the point of blindness.”


    “So when he saw your scandal, he had some twisted thoughts in his mind, thinking you were not


    worthy of me, and wanted to kill you…”


    The rest, Cornelia could guess without Marcus having to say, “He didn’t find a chance to kill me, so he


    killed my grandma?”


    Marcus nodded, “Yes.”


    Cornelia asked, “If it wasn’t for me, my grandma wouldn’t have died, right?”


    Marcus replied, “A murderer always finds a reason to kill. It’s not your fault. You can’t punish yourself


    for someone else’s mistakes.”


    We can’t punish ourselves for other people’s mistakes, Cornelia understood that. But to feel absolutely


    no guilt, that was impossible. “I think I need to put an end to the past.”


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Marcus said, “I’ve already had someone collecting more evidence of Ondo’s crimes, I’ll personally


    send him to jail and clear your name.”


    “No, just sending him to jail isn’t enough.” Cornelia pushed Marcus away, opened the door, “Zack,


    Abigail,e here.”


    Hearing her call them, Zack and Abigail immediately ran over, “Cornelia, is there something you need


    us to do?”


    Cornelia took out her phone and forwarded the video Marcus had sent her to the group chat with the


    three of them, “You guys need to watch this video first.”


    Abigail and Zack opened the video and the more they watched, the angrier they got.


    Zack even cursed in anger, “Ondo is such a jerk. I really want to chop him up!”
