Chapter 1667
While Alba was thinking of a way out of this, Cornelius was growing impatient.
It would be best if Alba would come over and stay with him for a while.
If she did not want to, Cornelius would have to force Alba to come over.
This time, he was fully prepared.
He also knew that the guards around Alba were only Immortal Rankers.
Thus, in order to avoid any accidents, he brought two beginner Sovereign Rankers along to make sure that the plan
would be 100% successful.
As for the consequences, Cornelius did not care about this.
He did not control the life or death of Alba and the Fellowes family.
He only knew that he had to find a way to please his employer.
Only in this way could he have a chance to compete for the position of head of the Lightfoot family.

you in the name of the Lightfoot family that I will never touch you, how about it?”
“Cornelius, just give up! I won’t go over to your ship,” Alba directly refused.
“So, you’re saying you won’t do it for my sake, right, Miss Alba? You are such a delicate woman so don’t force me
to resort to violence. Since I know your whereabouts, I also know that the few guards with you are only at Immortal
Rank. Their strength is far from enough.”
“Cornelius, I know your intentions. If you dare to act today, I will kill myself in front of you and see how you will
explain my death,” Alba threatened.
After contemplating for a long time, this was the only feasible approach she could come up with.
If Cornelius dared to take action, then she would kill herself.
This was the only solution.
Once she died, no matter what rumors surrounded her, they would be self-defeating.
Cornelius also had to bear the wrath of the Fellowes family and that man.
Of course, Alba did not want to die.
However, she had no choice.
She was also betting that Cornelius would not dare to do this.
“Miss Alba, why are you doing this? I just admire you and want to have a drink with you. I said that as long as you
come over, I won’t touch you at all. Why do you have to go to such extremes to solve this problem?” Cornelius said
calmly.
Although his tone was calm, Cornelius had already stood up from the chair at this time. The
expression on his face was a little distorted and he was fuming on the inside.
After careful calculations, the only thing Cornelius did not take into consideration was Alba committing suicide.
If she really killed herself, then this entire thing would be ruined.
At that time, not only would he fail to please his employer, but he also had to be held accountable by the Fellowes
family and Alba’s fiancé.
How would Cornelius endure all that without his employer’s support?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Cornelius, I have already guessed what you are thinking. Someone must be instigating you behind your back! Since
you want to stir up public opinion to p*ss off my fiancé, please whoever is behind you, and make the Fellowes family
feel bad, I will kill myself to make you suffer the consequences. Try it if you don’t believe me!” Alba gritted her teeth
after saying that.
She had completely exposed Cornelius’ plan.
However, Cornelius did not plan to admit it.
He was pretty strong. Even though he was exposed, and his fists were clenched tight, he could still calmly reply,
“Miss Alba, you’re falsely accusing me. Everyone knows I admire you. I know you’re going to marry someone else
soon and I won’t have a chance with you anymore. Can’t I have a drink and a meal with you before you get
married?”
“To hell with that! Cornelius, this is my final decision no matter what you say. It’s either you let me go and I’ll
pretend that nothing happened, or you take action and I’ll kill myself right here. I’d like to see if you can bear the
consequences. Choose!”
The scene fell silent before a loud laugh was heard.
