Every member of this family exuded a powerful vibe, especially Marcus.
He stepped in front of Cornelia, his imposing aura causing the group of gossiping women to step back. The family came together to protect Cornelia, making her feel like she wasn't alone anymore, and it felt really nice to be protected.
She looked up at them, and though words of gratitude were beyond her, she silently took them to heart, "Granny Luisa, Bri... let's head upstairs and not argue with them."
Cornelia led them towards the elevator. She knew the way so well that she went ahead, not expecting to run into another woman, who was Robison's wife Cristina.
The last time Cornelia returned to Rosenberg, she had a run-in with them. Today, Cristina came up to her as if nothing had happened. "Nelly, aren't you going to introduce your husband? Your Grandma's place must be covered in dust from being empty for so long. How about you and your husband stay at my place?"
Cornelia had always disliked this annoying woman. Knowing Cristina's intentions were far from pure, she brushed her off, "Out of my way!"
Cristina didn't take the hint, and turned to Granny Luisa, "Hello, I don't know if Nelly has mentioned me. I'm Robison's wife, Cristina. So I'm her family. Nelly can be a bit stubborn, I hope you all understand."
Having watched them for a while, Cristina figured Cornelia's husband must be wealthy and was determined to ingratiate herself with them.
If she played her cards right, she might gain something from their wealth.
Cornelia lifted the urn in her hands, "My Grandma is right here. If you have any complaints in the future, keep your voices down. I worry she might hear you and come to visit in the night."
"Your Grandma... she's passed away?" Cristina looked at Cornelia holding the urn, a chill running down her spine.
Cornelia ignored her, leading the group towards the elevator.
Watching their retreating figures, Cristina was more convinced than ever of their wealth. She was determined to get some of it for herself. She decided to wait downstairs, believing they would come back down soon. They all seemed too refined to stay in a place that resembled a warehouse.
