Chapter 820


    Chapter 820


    Back in the day, she’d had dealings with the cops. They were straight shooters, always made her feel


    safe when dealing with cases. But these two blokes, something about them just didn’t sit right. And she


    felt a weird sense of dread around them, Cornelia did it was like an unbidden feeling of terror that came


    out of nowhere, like a woman’s gut instinct telling her something’s off


    The guy said, “Ms. Stewart, Ms Hartley, fancy taking a walk with us?”


    Comelia couldn’t put a finger on what was amiss, couldn’t prove they were dodgy. So she decided to


    y ball and head to the station with them.


    The cop car was parked just a hop, skip and a jump away The two guys started walking faster and


    faster, practically yanking Cornelia along. The closer they got to the car, the stronger her fear became


    And soon, her fears were confirmed.


    Just a few steps away from the car, the men suddenly shoved them in and quickly mmed the door


    shut. The whole thing was slick, too quick for Cornelia and Briana to even think about escaping Before


    they knew it, they were trapped in the car. The driver gunned it and they were off, tearing down the


    road.


    Suddenly, everything became crystal clear. No wonder she’d felt something was off about these two.


    Turned out, they weren’t cops at all.


    Cornelia guessed they were probably Brennen’s goons in disguise, out to kidnap her and Briana.


    “Cornelia, these guys aren’t cops, probably Brennen’s men. They’re taking us to him now. Whatever he


    says, don’t believe a word of it.” Briana was shaking as she said this


    What on earth had Brennen done to Briana for her to be this scared at the mere mention of his narne?


    Cornelia gripped Briana’s trembling hand lightly, “Bri, can you tell me why you’re so scared of


    Brennen?”


    Brana shook her head frantically, as if trying to say something but too panicked to get the words out.


    “Bri, if you don’t want to talk about it, you don’t have to. I’m here with you. Don’t be scared.” Cornelia


    didn’t push her further, instead pulling her into aforting embrace. She had to figure out a way to


    escape. She couldn’t let Briana face Brennen in this state. Just as Cornelia was racking her brains for a


    n, the car suddenly screeched to a halt Cornelia and Briana were nearly flung out of their seats.


    Cornelia’s head hit the roof of the car with a thud, causing her to tear up from the pain. But she


    instinctively shielded Briana.


    After a moment, her head was still ringing, she couldn’t see or hear anything around her. Through the


    haze, Cornelia thought she heard Briana’s exhrated voice, “Marc, what are you doing here?”

    Cornelia tried to open her eyes. Through the foggy blur, she thought she saw a tall figure approaching


    Then, she was caught in a strong and safe embrace. She heard his deep, charming and pleasant


    voice, “Cornelia, everything’s going to be alright.”
