Today, Comelia was playing the role of the adult. Even in the face of enemies, even with fear filling her
heart, she didn’t let it show
She gritted her teeth, swallowed her fear, and told herself she couldn’t show weakness, couldn’t back
down, and certainly couldn’t let anyone know she was scared, because she had to protect Briana
standing behind her.
Not until she saw Marcus, who, at that moment, became her rock, did she let down all her pretenses
and show her true self
Looking up at him, Cornelia had so much to say, but before she could open her mouth, he asked,
“What happened to your face?”
Cornelia didn’t want him to worry, so she tried to brush it off with a joke. “I lost a fight and bit myself.”
But Marcus didn’t buy it, “Ayden!”
Ayden lowered his head “I failed to protect Mrs Hartley. President Hartley, I’m willing to accept any
punishment!”
Marcus‘ face darkened, his eyes cold “You think a punishment would solve everything? She got hurt,
and you didn’t tell me?”
If he knew Cornelia was hurt, he wouldn’t have spent so much time watching her from the second
floor…
Cornelia didn’t want Ayden to be punished because of her, so she quickly defended him, “If it weren’t
for Ayden arriving in time, Bri and I might have been taken away. Don’t blame him, okay?”
Ayden, as always, was expressionless, “Protecting Mrs. Hartley is my duty. I failed, I should be
punished”
Cornelia was speechless.
Marcus said, “Go and accept your punishment.”
“Yes” Before Ayden left, he didn’t forget to handle the two fake cops.
“Bro, can you pay attention to me for once?” Briana felt her brother was becoming more and more
strange. Clearly, she was the one who first saw him blocking the car that kidnapped them, but after he
glanced at her to make sure she was alright, he walked straight towards Cornelia, completely ignoring
her.
Marcus reached out and patted Briana’s head. ‘I will handle your things. You and Cornelia rest at home
for a few days, don’t worry about anything else.”
Briana bit her lip and whispered, “Bro, I’m scared. I’m scared that my missing exhibit is just a warning
from them, and they will do something worse. It’s been so many years, but every time I think of that
person, I feel afraid. I hate this feeling of helplessness…”
Marcus interrupted her, “Briana, you need to understand that you’re an adult now. You’re not that little
girl who was bullied anymore. You should learn to forget the things that happened to you when you
were young.
“If you keep dwelling on it, those people and things that hurt you will haunt you like a nightmare and
you won’t be able to get rid of them.
“You need to understand that you have the whole Hartley Group behind you, your grandma, your
brother, and Cornelia. So many people are supporting you, what do you have
to be afraid of?”
Briana understood all of this, but forgetting the past, overcoming all that lingered in her heart, was too
difficult.
She had tried. She had tried many times, but failed each time. Especially when she heard anything
related to Brennen, she couldn’t control her fear.
She cried out in despair, “I’ve tried countless times to forget the past, but every time I dream of those
times in the middle of the night, the past events play like a movie in my mind. The more I try to forget,
the more dreams I have, and I can’t find a moment of peace…”
