    Chapter 367


    Corn had a soft spot, especially when if came to sweet and beautiful girls like Briana


    She cradled Briana in her arms, gathered up her courage and said to Marcus, President Hartley, Bri is


    all grown up now She has her own social circle, and her own friends Most Importantly, she has her own


    dignity. You can’t treat her like a kid anymore”


    Before Corn could finish what she was saying Marcus cut her off. “Take her upstairs and wash off


    the paint from her face


    Hewasn’t mad, nor did he say he was going to continue punishing Briana But Briana was scared


    nheless. She hid behind Cornelia, peeking out from behind her, “Are you going to


    punish me in some other way?


    President Hartley, I take Brito wash her face now I promise shell be squeaky clean.” Cornelia took


    Briana and left, heading back to Briana’s room. Once she was sure Marcus couldn’t hear them, she


    said. “Silly girl, he didn’t mention punishing you Why are you looking for trouble?”


    Because! know him too well “Briana wiped away a tear and held onto Cornelia tightly, “His word isw.


    He said he’d make me reflect on my actions, and he will Cornelia, I don’t want to be locked up in a dark


    room. Only you can help me You have to help me!”


    Briana was shaking violently, and her voice trembling. She had been scared of her brother before, but


    never as scared as she was now. This fear was deep–seated She couldn’t hide it, and she definitely


    wasnt acting


    Corn held Briana, sometimes ruffling her hair, sometimes patting her back gently, “Bri, can you tell


    me why you’re suddenly so scared of your brother today?”


    Brana shook her head, Tm not scared of him. No matter how mean he is, I’m not scared of him.”


    “Alright, alright, you’re not scared of him “Briana wouldn’t admit it, so Cornelia didn’t push She had her


    own ways to get Briana to wash her face. “Bri, if this paint stays on your face too long it damage your


    skin. Your skin is delicate and more prone to allergies. For the sake of your skin, for the sake of staying


    a beautiful little princess, go wash your face, okay?”


    “Okay, but Cornelia, you have to stay with me “Briana held onto Cornelia’s sleeve as if she was afraid


    she would leave.


    “Okay, I’ll stay with you “Cornelia apanied Briana to the bathroom. She took a cotton pad, wet it


    with makeup remover, and helped Briana remove her makeup.


    Briana looked at Cornelia, her eyes welling up with tears. Two hot teardrops fell onto Cornelia’s hand


    Cornelia was taken aback, “Bri, what’s wrong?”


    Briana blinked, lifted her head, and held back the tears that were about to fall, You’re too good to me.


    Cornelia, can you always be this good to me? Even if one day you and my brother break up, you can’t


    hate me because of him. Can we be best friends forever?”


    Cornelia replied softly. “We are all individuals. I like you because I like your charm, kindness, and


    beauty, not because of your brother. If you’re willing, I would love to be your best friend


    forever”


    Briana sniffled. Tll remember what you have said If you and my brother break up, you can’t go back on


    your word. No matter what happens between you and my brother, we’re still best friends.”


    1 willl‘ While this was going on, Cornelia’s hands were not idle. “Briana, close your eyes. I’m going to


    clean the makeup off your eyshes.”


    Briana obediently closed her eyes Cornelia patiently cleaned the makeup off her eyshes. When she


    was done, she said, “Lift your head a bit. There’s some makeup on your chin and neck

    Briana lifted her head immediately, reaffirming. “Cornelia, no matter what happens between you and


    my brother, you can’t hate me.”
