Chapter 814


    Chapter 814


    Briana Just shook her head at the suggestion, “No, no way, I don’t wanna see him!”


    Cornelia said, “You don’t have to, I’ll go ”


    Briana was scared herself and certainly would not let Cornelia take the risk, “Cornelia, that guy’s super


    creepy. I swear we might not evene back alive if we go. If I’m not going, you’re not going either”


    Comelia replied, “He’s not going to harm me, not yet. Besides, I’ve got a trump card”


    Brana quened, “What trump card?”


    “I’ll ask your brother for someone. With him around, we just need to use our brains. Leave the dirty


    work to him” Cornelia exined and texted Marcus right away: [President Hartley, can borrow Ayden


    again?]


    Unknown to Cornelia, Marcus had already arranged for Ayden to secretly protect her. He replied


    quickly (From now on, Ayden is at your disposal. You can order him around without my consent]


    Comelia responded [That doesn’t feel right. It’s as if I am scheming to snatch your man]


    Marcus texted back. [What’s mine is yours.]


    His straightforward words touched Cornelia once again: [I’m at the convention center now. Tell him to


    find me here. I need him for something big]


    Marcus asked [What is it?]


    Corne knew Brennen was no pushover, and she was well aware of her own limitations. Taking on


    Brennen alone was a total suicide mission. So when Marcus asked. Cornelia spilled the beans:


    [Briana’s exhibits were all stolen and the cops are out of leads. Then Brennen’s people showed up.


    They told us he has some clues and wants us to meet him]


    Upon receiving Cornelia’s text, Marcus responded almost instantly, sinct and firm: [Don’t go!]


    Worried that Cornelia might not heed his advice, Marcus immediately called her. As soon as she picked


    up, she heard his deep voice, “Cornelia, Brennen is a sly fox. If he’s asking you guys toe, he has


    no intentions of letting you return safely. You mustn’t go!”


    “All the stuff at theic con were Briana and her friends” hard work. I want to help Briana get them


    back Cornelia wanted to help, Briana, but she trusted Marcus‘ judgment more. His urgency in


    persuading her not to go meant he had good reasons.


    Marcus assured, “I’ll get Briana’s stuff back. Leave this matter to me.”


    “Okay” Cornelia hung up the phone, then turned to the suit guy. “Sorry, we’re not interested in meeting


    your President Hartley”

    The suit guy smirked creepily. “Mrs. Hartley, President Hartley did say you’re a very smartdy and we


    should be careful dealing with you. But I don’t see it. Since when do you get to decide who Mr. Brennan


    wants to meet?”


    Cornelia chuckled, “You’re nning to kidnap someone in broad daylight?”


    The suit guy said, “What can’t we do?”


    Cornelia asked, “Don’t you guys have any rules?”


    The suit guy said, ‘In our eyes, Mr. Brennen is the rule.”


    “Stop wasting time with them, just take her.” Another suit guy ran out of patience and reached out to


    grab Cornelia.


    Next thing he knew, he heard a crisp sound of bone cracking, followed by a pain–filled curse, “Who the


    hell are you? Do you know who you’re messing with?”
