Chapter 1268
At this moment. Trevor finally got a taste of how terrifying Cornelia really was
Comelia said âYouâve got a family, parents who run a small business, quite a comfortable life. Youâre not some desperate dude whoâs out of job and out of choices. Itâs rare for someone whoâs not up against a wall to pull something as extreme as this. So Iâve been wondering why the hell did you do it? After a whole day of mutting it over, I think Eve finally got the pictureâ
âAnd what picture is that? Trevor asked
Cornelia said âI started figuring it out from the moment you showed up. You popped up around Abby just when Brennen started making his moves. And you didnât show up even after Abby dumped you a while ago. Then, not long after Brennen found me, bar, there you were if I still couldnât piece together the connection between you guys. then I must be really dumbâ
âAnd since you know all this, do you think Iâd let you walk away?â Trevor asked
Cornelia waved her bag again, âIn here is info on your family. I know exactly where your kid goes to school. If you dare to lay a finger on me, your family wonât get awayâ
Trevor glared at her, âYou dare to threaten me? Without Marcus, who do you think you are!â
Cornelia calmly replied. âEven without Marcus, I still got my Grandpa Augustine You know who Grandpa Augustine is? If not, you can always ask Brennen. I canât believe he wouldnât know that Augustine of the Capital is my own grandpaâ
Trevor was skeptical, âAugustine of the Capital is your grandpa? Why would you bring up the Duran family of the Capital? How can you even get access to the Duran family? âMake a call to your boss, and youâll knowâ Cornelia said
Indeed, just one call and the truth would be out
Trevor pulled out his phone, dialed Brennen. Upon connection, he heard Brennen ask, âWhat did Cornelia tell you?â
How did Brennen know that Cornelia was looking for him? Trevor instantly scanned his surroundings and spotted a suspicious car not far away. Turned out, Brennen had already sent someone to tail him.
âShe knows Iâm on your side Trevor said
âEven if she knows, it doesnât matter When you messed with them, neither Marcus nor his men showed up. It proves that Marcus has really fallen for another woman and abandoned her Now Cornelia is of no useâ Brennen said
Trevor asked, âDo you know who Augustine is? Do you know the consequences of messing with him?â
Brennen answered, âI didnât ask you to actually lay a hand on Corneliaâ
Trevor finally understood. âSo you knew all alongâ
Brennen was furious. âYouâre testing me!â
âIf I didnât, would you tell me the truth? Iâve been nothing but loyal to you, but how have you treated me?â Trevor didnât need a response, and hung up. He turned to Cornelia âYou can go I promise I wonât mess with you guys againâ
Not that he wouldnât, but that he wouldnât dare Cornelia obviously knew, but still kindly reminded him, âBrennen is not a good guy. You have parents and a child. Get the hell out of here while you still can.â
âDo you think I can still escape?â Trevor laughed
âYou shouldâve known better This is what you get for biting off more than you can chewâ Cornelia said.
âSince you were kind enough to warn me, Iâll share some good news with youâ Trevor said.
Cornelia asked. âGood news? Do I need you to tell me?â
Trevor said, âYour ex, Marcus, is now down and out. The Hartley Group is about to be taken over by Brennen again.â
Cornelia smiled, âBrennen told me the same thing a month ago. He said the Hartley Group would be his in a week, but a month has passed and I still donât see the Hartley Group changing handsâ
