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 even come 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”

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?]
Cornella 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, succinct 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 to come, he has no intentions of letting
you return safely. You mustn’t go!”
“All the stuff at the comic 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.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“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 smart lady 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 planning 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?”
