Chapter 1667
While Alba was thinking of a way out of this, Cornelius was growing impatient.
It would be best if Alba woulde over and stay with him for a while.
If she did not want to, Cornelius would have to force Alba toe 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 idents, he brought two beginner Sovereign Rankers along to make sure
that the n would be 100% sessful.
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 topete for the position of head of the Lightfoot family.
“Miss Alba, what do you think? As long as youe over and have a drink with me, I, Cornelius
Lightfoot, promise 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 exin my death,” Alba threatened.
After contemting for a long time, this was the only feasible approach she coulde 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 youe 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 calctions, the only thing Cornelius did not take into consideration was Albamitting
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 ountable by
the Fellowes family and Alba’s fiancé.
How would Cornelius endure all that without his employer’s support?
“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 hadpletely exposed Cornelius’ n.
However, Cornelius did not n 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 using 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 loudugh was heard.
