    Marcus chuckled, not replying. “Let’s head home first”


    Cornelia asked. “You’re not going to tell me, are you?”


    Marcus replied, “I’m hungry, can you whip up something to eat when we get home?”


    Seeing he wouldn’t say more, Cornelia didn’t press, “Alright, let’s go”


    Meanwhile, Brenner’s guys managed to locate Dn again, bringing him to the courtyard where


    Cornelia had just left.


    The two men who found Dn, the same ones who found Cornelia, were significantly nicer to Dn,


    ‘Mr. Brennen is waiting for you inside, right this way”


    Dn followed them into the courtyard, passing the fountain and finally entering an elegantly decorated


    dinning hall.


    Various mouth–watering dishes wereid out.


    Brennen greeted Dn with a smile, “I know you skipped lunch. I had some dishes prepared for you.


    Hope you like them.”


    Dn sat across Brennen, his face expressionless, “I’ve done what you asked Where’s Carolina?”


    Dn, an orphan, was raised by Carolina from the orphanage To him, Carolina was as important as a


    mother.


    Brennen knew this weakness of Dn, which was why he had taken Carolina hostage.


    Knowing Carolina was in danger. Dn couldn’t just ignore it. After some thought, he made a tough


    decision.


    Brennen said, “When you tricked Cornelia into getting into the car, our people would have already


    returned Carolina to her home. I’m a man of my word I promised not to hurt her as long as you did what


    | asked.”


    Brennen was far from trustworthy, so Dn quickly video called Carolina to ensure she was safe at


    home. Only then he breathed a sigh of relief.


    As he ended the call, Brennen filled his ss with wine, “What are you nning to do now?”


    Dn drained his ss in one gulp. “You should know well, Marcus won’t let me off the hook easily


    after I betrayed him. Whether I can save my own skin is still up in the air. The one thing I’m certain of is


    that I won’t be able to keep my job as the head of Rosenberg branch of the Hartley Group. Even if


    Marcus doesn’t kill me, no otherpanies would dare to hire me. I might have to live off my savings


    from now on”

    Brennen looked at the troubled Dn, “Your next employer is sitting right in front of you, haven’t you


    considered teaming up with me?”


    Dn lifted his gaze, staring at Brennen coldly. “I haven’t forgotten how you used Carolina to threaten


    me. I hold grudges.”


    Brennen responded, “Good that you hold grudges, I’d be worried if you didn’t.”


    Dn said, “Whatever you want, I won’t coborate with you”


    Dn rejected him, but Brennen wasn’t in a rush, “No problem! You’ll have plenty of time to consider


    working for me. With me, I might not be able to guarantee other things, but at least I can ensure your


    safety”


    Dn smirked. “Ten years ago, he was a minor, and you were no match for him. Do you think you can


    snatch his people away from him now?”


    Brennen filled his ss again, “Ten years ago, I was caught off guard by his sudden attack. But things


    are different now. I’m fully prepared. Snatching someone from him should be a piece of cake for me”


    Dn paused for a moment, then asked, “Can you really guarantee my safety?”


    Brennen replied, “Whether I can save you or not, you have nothing to lose at this point, why not give it


    a shot?”


    Dn asked. “You’re asking me to gamble with my life?”


    Brennen responded, “If you don’t try, can you be sure you’ll survive?”


    Dn replied, “Maybe I can plead with Cornelia.”
