Marcus was standing with his back to her, tall and straight as a rod
He was probably saying something Brennen was also talking, but she couldn’t hear anything All she
could feel was the tension building up around them because of their standoff.
Every second of her wait felt like pure agony. In an attempt to chill out a bit, Cornelia decided to chat
up Ayden, “Ayden…
Ayden responded in a calm tone, “What’s up?”
Cornelia asked, “Could you maybe stick with him? He won’t let me be there, but he didn’t say you
couldn’t. Could you…?”
Ayden assured her, “President Hartley is a tough cookie. Brennen’s got nothing on him. You’ve got
nothing to worry about.”
It was not that she doubted Marcus‘ strength, but she was worned that Brennen would use family ties
to hurt Marcus. Marcus might seem cold as ice on the surface, but deep down he was actually quite
sensitive. When faced with the truly heartless Brennen, even if Marcus came out on top, it could still
wound his soul
But she didn’t know how to express all this to Ayden, so all she could do was wait in silence, hoping
Marcus could settle the score with Brennen ASAP
Cornelia waited anxiously. About half an hour later, Marcus finally turned around and walked toward
her. Cornelia rushed up to him, grabbing his hand.
In such hot weather, his hand was as cold as ice. She rubbed his hand, “Why are your hands so cold?
What did he say to you?”
Marcus scoffed, “What else could he say? He’s just trying to get something he wants from me
He didn’t want to go into detail, and Cornelia didn’t push it, “Let’s get out of here.”
From the moment she stepped in, Cornelia felt there was something off about this place. It gave her the
creeps.
“Alright, let’s head home Marcus led her out, hand in hand, with Ayden following behind.
”
As they were about to step out, Brennen’s voice echoed from behind “Marcus, the Hartley Group is the
fruit of the Hartley family’s blood, sweat, and tears over generations, not your personal business
empire. You should give your siblings their fair share, or I won’t hesitate to bring down the whole
Hartley Group and leave us all with nothing”
Marcus kept walking, not even turning around to acknowledge Brennen’s threat.
Cornelia gripped Marcus hand tighter, looking up at him. His face was expressionless, and she couldn’t
read his thoughts. She didn’t know what she could do for him, and all she could do was hold his hand,
giving him some warmth, letting him know she was always there.
Soon, they left this place.
Ayden drove while Marcus and Cornelia sat in the back.
Marcus closed his eyes, resting in the back seat, not even acknowledging Cornelia. She wanted to ask
what Brennen had said to him. She almost opened her mouth a few times, but in the end, she couldn’t
bring herself to do it.
The car drove for a while. He kept his eyes closed, then spoke up, “Do you want to know what Brennen
said to me?”
Cornelia nodded, “Can you tell me?”
Suddenly, Marcus opened his eyes. The sharp look in his eyes vanished the moment he saw her
worried face.
He reached out, cradling the back of her head, pulling her towards him swiftly, and planted a kiss on
her lips.
His kiss was passionate and intense, like a predator on the hunt. Cornelia’s lips were numbed by it, but
she didn’t shy away, instead, she tried to match his pace.
God knew how long it lasted, Cornelia’s lips were about to lose all feeling when he finally let her go.
Cornelia blushed, lightly biting her lip.
