Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1006

Chapter 1006

Hearing Cornelia's answer, Brennen didn't seem surprised at all.

He smirked a little, "I don't believe them when they say you're simple and naive. I figured anyone who could become the assistant to the CEO of the Hartley Group must have some smarts, at least enough to tell right from wrong.

“But today, it looks like you really can't tell the difference. Your granny died under strange circumstances. You didn't dig deeper, and just accepted Marcus’ word that she was killed by a driver.

“Ms. Stewart, have you ever considered that your granny might have been offed by Marcus?"

Cornelia stared at Brennen icily, not buying his story, "Don't dump all the blame on Marcus. I think I know him better than you do.”

Brennen, "Do you really? Is it possible that the Marcus you know is just a facade, and you haven't seen who he really is?"

Before Cornelia could reply, Brennen continued, "Ten years ago, he kicked his own mother out and sent his dad to prison. Do you know why he did that? He might tell you it's because his parents did a lot of wrong by him... Is it possible that's just an excuse, and he was actually after the Hartley Group?"

Cornelia, "So what if he was after the Hartley Group? I'm his wife, I'll back him no matter what."

Cornelia's resolution seemed to take Brennen aback. He hadn't expected Cornelia to be so steadfast. But he wasn't about to let her have her way, "I told you before. Marcus and Jeremy. They're twins, not the same person. Marcus killed Jeremy and took his place, even took Jeremy's wife, you, for himself.

Cornelia grabbed the coffee cup on the table in anger, splashing the coffee in Brennen's face, "You're such a jerk! Haven't you hurt him enough? Now you're framing him? What on earth did he do to deserve a father like you."
