Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1004

Chapter 1004

"Cornelia asked, "Who's he?"

The man replied, "You'll find out once you're inside.”

Cornelia looked around, trying to memorize the look of the courtyard. If she had the chance to make a distress call, she could give a detailed description of her location. But the man next to her shattered her hope, "Don't bother, this courtyard is equipped with a signal jammer. Your phone won't work, and you won't be able to make any distress calls."

Cornelia fell silent. These people were truly terrifying; they even knew what she was thinking.

The man spoke again, "He has been waiting for you for a while, please hurry up..’

Cornelia walked into the courtyard alone. After passing through an arch, the scenery changed. The beautiful building was like a fairyland, completely different from the decrepit scene outside.

As Cornelia passed the first door, a slim young girl in a pretty dress approached her, "Ms. Stewart, please follow me.”

Cornelia didn't ask any questions, and just followed. They walked around a fountain and arrived at a gazebo.

In the gazebo were three people, a middle-aged man sitting, with two women in attractive dresses standing on either side, one of them fanning him. It was like a scene out of a TV show. The wealthy man playing chess, with two maids attending to him.

The woman next to Cornelia stepped forward and respectfully said, "I've brought Ms. Stewart.”

The man, still engrossed in his chess game, didn't look up, merely responding, "Good, you all may leave.”

Brennen was taken aback by Cornelia's first question. He paused for a moment, then laughed, "The people around Marcus aren't easy to buy. I merely threatened someone Dylan cares deeply about, so he had no choice but to comply with my wish to meet you."

So Dylan hadn't betrayed Marcus, he had simply chosen between Marcus and someone he cared about, and chosen the latter.

Cornelia could accept this explanation. She smiled slightly, "You went through all this trouble to kidnap me here. What do you want exactly?"

"Ms. Stewart, I invited you to my home. I didn't kidnap you, please don't use such harsh words. Strictly speaking, you are my son's wife. We are family.’ Brennen pointed to a seat opposite him, "Ms.

Stewart, please have a seat. I've ordered some exquisite coffee for us, why don't we chat over a cup?"
