    Chapter 1149


    Brian mmed up. How was she such a chatterbox? But it was cool. If he couldn’t outtalk her, there


    were still some thrilling things waiting for herter.


    Cornelia asked, “Why’d you m up?”


    Brian answered, “I’m really no match for you in a debate.”


    He didn’t continue, so Cornelia should’ve stopped too. But she kept going, “Brian, you should apologize


    to me now!”


    Brianughed as if he’d heard a hrious joke, “What’d you say?”


    Emily chimed in, “She’s asking you to apologize!”


    Brian covered Emily’s mouth with his hand, “When I don’t ask you to talk, you should zip it.”


    Cornelia said, “I want an apology from you.”


    She’d already epted Grandpa Augustine and was now part of the Duran family. As long as Grandpa


    Augustine was around, she’d definitely have more encounters with the Durans. Given the frequent


    interactions, she needed to set some ground rules from the start. Some principles couldn’t be


    compromised. Otherwise, anyone could insult her at will in the future.


    Brian asked, “What did I say wrong?”


    Cornelia answered, “You think you did nothing wrong?”


    Brian asked, “Dare you say you don’t love money?”


    Cornelia answered, “My money is earned through legitimate means”


    Brian said, “Conning an old man for his money is legitimate? Cornelia, where is


    your


    conscience?”


    Watching the two of them bickering heatedly, Wyatt and Alexa didn’t dare to butt in. Only Emily stood


    up for Cornelia again. “If you keep bullying her, I’ll stop loving you.


    Brian said, “It’s her who’s bullying me.”


    Emily said, “You asked for it.”


    Brian was left speechless.


    Cornelia said, “He’s right.”


    Emily scratched his head, thinking seriously, “If you two can’te to an agreement, we can do a


    challengeter. The loser apologizes.”


    Brian said, “Fine”


    Corne asked, “What kind of challenge?”


    Brian asked, “What, are you chickening out?”


    Cornelia answered, “Before a challenge, it’s normal to know what it’s about, right?” Cornelia wouldn’t


    be influenced by his provocation and impulsively agree without knowing the challenge.


    She wouldn’t do anything she wasn’t sure about. Moreover, she’d just met them. She didn’t know them


    well and remembered what Marcus said Emily wasn’t like other four–year–olds. What if they teamed up


    to y a prank on her?


    Emily said, “I’ll suggest a few options, you guys choose.”


    Brian said, “I’m game, just not sure if she dares to ept the challenge.”


    Cornelia said, “You go first.”


    Emily said, “It’s simple. Rock climbing, sprinting, or shooting. Pick one.”


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Brian said, “Ladies first, you pick.”


    Rock climbing and sprinting required a lot of physical strength. There was a considerable difference in


    physical fitness between men and women. And it was possible Brian had often participated in these


    activities before, so Cornelia’s chances of beating him were almost nil.


    For shooting, however, Carnelia was somewhat confident.
