    Chapter 1085


    The fire was raging, and even from a distance, Cornelia could feel the waves of heat hitting her


    At this point, it was impossible for anyone to dash in Even if they tossed steel into it, it would probably


    melt in a blink of an eye. If Zavier rushed into the fire now, it would be nothing short of suicide


    Naturally, Marcus and the bodyguards wouldn’t allow him to do so.


    The weather was scorching, and all the buildings in the yard were made of wood, so the fire was


    spreading like it was fueled by oil, incredibly fast. As the fire was about to reach them, everyone was in


    danger if they didn’t evacuate.


    Panicked, Cornelia said, “Knock him out and drag him away.”

    Upon hearing this, Marcus swiftly struck Zavier on the back of his neck. The emotionally unstable


    Zavier passed out instantly, hanging onto them.


    “Ayden‘” Marcusmanded. Ayden immediately stepped forward. Marcus said, “Get Zavier to a safe


    ce right now. You and Dr. Lester keep an eye on him. If he freaks out again when he wakes up,


    sedate him”


    “Roger” Ayden picked up Zavier and left.


    With Zavier down, his men were leaderless and turned to Marcus, “President Hartley, what should we


    do now?”


    Marcus said. “The fire is beyond our control. Have everyone who’s trying to put it out retreat to a safe


    area and wait for the firefighters.”


    The bodyguard said, “Roger”


    Marcus said, “You,e tell me how this fire started”


    The bodyguard said, “Alright”


    Marcus took a couple of steps and then realized Cornelia was still standing there. He came back and


    quickly took her hand, “Comelia, the fire is about to reach us. It’s dangerous here, go to a safe area


    and wait for me.”


    Cornelia said, “Okay. Be careful, I wait for you outside” With the fire being so massive, Cornelia knew


    she couldn’t be of any help. If she insisted on staying, she would only distract Marcus. By obediently


    going to the safe area and waiting for the firefighters, she was already doing a big favor by not causing


    trouble for


    Marcus.


    Marcus ruffled her hair, “I know, go on.”


    With a nod, Comelia left


    After she left, Marcus looked at the bodyguard. The bodyguard truthfully recounted the events,


    “President Hartley, after you left, Mr. Rivera was acting like a madman, kissing and biting Skyler’s body.


    He even said he wanted to keep Skyler with him in a special way. Then he took Skyler back to the


    room, and when he came out to prepare the tools, there was suddenly a fire in the room.”


    Listening, Marcus felt something was off but didn’t voice his suspicion.


    Seeing Marcus‘ expression, the bodyguard cautiously said, “President Hartley, as you know, Mr. Rivera


    is a lunatic. We don’t know what he will do when he wakes up. His grandfather can’t control him either,


    so we’ll have to rely on you in the future.”


    Marcus coldly nced at the bodyguard, “Was it you who said once I left the yard, I would be cut off


    from him?”


    The bodyguard wiped the sweat from his forehead nervously, “I misspoke. You’re so forgiving, please


    don’t hold a grudge over this little thing”


    Marcus had no ns to hold a grudge, “Regardless of whether the Rivera family can persuade him,


    you should inform them toe over as soon as possible. Even if you look down on Skyler, she’s still


    Zavier’s wife, Mrs. Rivera.”


    The bodyguard said, “Roger”


    At this moment, the sound of the fire rms echoed from the distance. The firefighters had arrived.


    Marcus, along with the bodyguards and others, worked hard to assist the firefighters in extinguishing


    the fire.
