    Chapter 1182


    As Marcus grew up and started to live on his own, he rarely had chances to stay at Granny Luisa’s


    house or enjoy her milkshakes. For some reason, today’s milkshake reminded him so much of Granny


    Luisa’s.


    Marcus looked up to see Cornelia, her eyes shining as she smiled at him. Her smile was like a


    blooming flower, so radiant and captivating that he momentarily forgot what he was about to ask her.


    Cornelia approached him, whispered in his ear, “Does this milkshake taste familiar to you?”


    Marcus nodded, “Yes”


    Cornelia said, “1 got up early this morning and specifically called Granny Luisa to learn how to make a


    milkshake. Seems like I did a good job.”


    Marcus chuckled, “Indeed, you did.”

    Comelia grinned, Thanks for thepliment!”


    Grandpa Augustine chimed in, “So that’s why you were busy on the phone this morning, and didn’t join


    me for breakfast. All for Marcus.”


    Cornelia exined, “Grandpa Augustine, it’s not that I didn’t want to join you. It’s just that making this


    milkshake requires boiling the milk properly. It took a while.”


    Marcuspleted one ss and had another knowing Cornelia made it herself.


    Cornelia felt satisfied after seeing him appreciate it so much, thinking that all her early morning efforts


    had been worthwhile.


    After finishing the milkshake, Marcus nned to take Cornelia back to Riverton. Although Grandpa


    Augustine wished they could stay a bit longer, he knew he shouldn’t interfere with their lives, so he let


    them go.


    Cornelia couldn’t stay in the Capital, but Old Augustine could go to Riverton and stay with her. He had


    already bought a house in Riverton, ready to move in anytime.


    Grandpa Augustine sent them to the airport without any hitches along the way.


    After going through security, they entered the departure lounge. On the way to the lounge, they were


    stopped by Zavier, “President Hartley, I thought you were busy working in France. How did you get


    back so soon?”


    Marcus wasn’t feeling well and didn’t have the energy to talk, so he ignored Zavier and tried to walk


    away with Cornelia.


    Zavier blocked their path, “Marcus, how could you do this?”


    Marcus paused, giving Zavier a cold look.


    Zavier used him, “Do you think I don’t know what you’ve been doing behind my back? Do you think


    I’m a fool?”


    Marcus shot back, “What did I do?”


    Zavier gritted his teeth, “Where did you hide Skyler?”


    Marcus sneered, “You don’t know where your own woman is and you’re asking me?*


    Suddenly, Zavier raised his hand, and he had a gun. Cornelia was startled. There was no time to


    wonder how Zavier managed to get a gun past security. She instinctively moved forward to shield


    Marcus, who quickly pulled Cornelia behind him.


    Zavier aimed the gun at Cornelia, “Alright, if you won’t talk, I’ll send your wife to meet her maker!”


    Bang-


    Without hesitation, Zavier pulled the trigger as soon as he had the chance. Luckily, Marcus reacted


    quickly and pushed Cornelia aside. Still, Marcus couldn’t dodge the bullet that grazed his arm. Soon,


    his white shirt was stained with blood.
