Chapter 1009

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.
