    Chapter 917


    Hank thought his words were fine, but Marcus seemed to sniff out some issues. ir must have


    thought about killing Cornelia at one point.


    Most parents loved their kids, but some folks just didn’t deserve to be called parents. Yet, Marcus


    desperately hoped that the mother Cornelia missed was a decent and responsible woman, not a piece


    of work like his own parents.


    Marcusmanded, “Get them out!”

    Ayden stepped forward without a word, simply gesturing them out.


    A few guys followed Hank and Ayden. Hank wanted to look back at Marcus, but he didn’t have the


    guts. “Who’s your boss?” he asked.


    Ayden ignored him.


    Once they were outside the residential area and Ayden left, several thugs suddenly became arrogant


    and started shouting loudly. “Hank, it’s one thing for that person to attack us, but they dare to threaten


    you? Who the hell are they? Threatening you on our turf, we should call someone and deal with them


    tonight”


    Hank shot them a cold nce. “No one is going after him until we figure out who he really is. Once I do,


    I’ll make sure he pays for every bit of humiliation that we suffered today.


    The guy who got the worst beating was the loudest “Hank, this is Rosenberg, our turf, where we have


    the most clout. Someone threatens us here. You might take it, but we won’t. We’re gonna call the


    troops, we need to take it with those two”


    Hank pped him across the face. “You’re making a scene now. Where was this bravery earlier?”


    The guy mped his mouth shut, nursing his face.


    Hank gave them a look. “I’m the one who was humiliated today. You think I’m not pissed? If I were as


    hot–tempered as before, I would have hit him back. He knew who I am and still dared to confront me,


    that means he’s not afraid of me. That means he might be more powerful.“.

    Marcus went back upstairs.


    People were still ying cards. Cornelia sat next to Abigail and watched, she was a little sleepy but


    forced herself to stay awake.


    Seeing Marcus return, she immediately rushed over. “Why were you gone for so long? Something


    came up?”


    Marcus pinched her cheek. “You look tired, why don’t you go to bed? I’ll stay up.”


    Cornelia said, “I asked you a question, don’t change the subject.”


    Marcus said, “I had a chat with Hank.”


    Cornelia asked. “You don’t like him, why would you chat with him?”


    Marcus said, “How do you know I don’t like him?”


    Cornelia said, “He barely touched your shoulder and you were all defensive. I’m not blind. I saw it.”


    Cornelia was very observant, it wasn’t easy to fool her. But there were things he couldn’t tell her yet. If


    she knew that ir, the one who was always on her back, was- actually her biological mother, she


    might not be able to handle it.


    Marcus came up with an excuse. “I was checking how long Ondo could be sentenced for.”


    Cornelia said, “I saw online that he hasmitted many crimes, and he will be sentenced to at least


    fifteen years in prison.”
