Chapter 369
Briona was being a real piece of work She gave Courtney reto respect, but Courtney didn’t lose her
cool.
She said to Briana with a smile. Bri it’s cold out here why don’t you open the door first? If you’ve got
beef with me, lets hash it out once Im inside ”
Briana retorted angrily. “My brother said you’re not welcome here Get lost the farther the better. Dont
rain on our family reunion”
Courtney still kept her smile. You’re all grown up now, but you’re still acting like a kid who doesn’t know

And besides how can it be a family reunion without me?”
Those words seemed to hit a nerve with Briana She was so pissed she started banging on the walls,
“Courtney, you have no right to criticize my brother!”
Courtney’s face darkened, her voice sharp. Open the door Or get your brother to talk to me
Don’t bother my brother, he doesn’t want anything to do with you” Before Briana finished, Marcus‘ deep
voice came from behind, “Open the door and let her in ”
Cornelia tumed to look at Marcus. He was wearing an apron and obviously just came out from the
kitchen But even in an apron, he still looked impressive
“Marcus!” Brana wasn’t happy about opening the door Just like most times, she instinctively obeyed
Marcus To her, Marcus was not just her brother, he was also a father figure in her life Without Marcus
Briana wouldn’t have the carefree life she had, “Are you really gonna let her in?”
“Open it!” The moment Marcus said this, Briana opened the door. Courtney’s voice came through the
intercom once again, “Bri, if you were as sensible as your brother, I wouldn’t have to worry about you
On the monitor, Courtney’s smile seemed particularly annoying to Cornelia. It was like she was making
some kind of declaration to Briana. It was uncomfortable. Through the window, everyone in the living
room could see Courtney in her high heels stepping in In the snow, her red dress was quite a sight.
This was the Hartley family’s business, and Cornelia didn’t want to get involved. She motioned for Ben

she heard Marcus say. “Cornelia, stay”
Cornelia paused, President Hartley, as an outsider, I don’t think I should stay.”
Marcus turned to look at her, “Are you not listening to me?”
Cornelia, “Of course lam”
But she really didn’t want to stay, she didn’t want to hear the Hartley family’s dirty laundry. If word got
out about their family feud, she would be the prime suspect. Marcus then said, “Briana, you should
leave too.”
Briana. “I want to stand by your side.”
Marcus didn’t say anything, he just gave Briana a look and then she left with Ben.
