Chapter 1149
Brian clammed up.How was she such a chatterbox? But it was cool. If he couldn't outtalk her, there were still some thrilling things waiting for her later.
Cornelia asked, "Why'd you clam up?"
Brian answered, "I'm really no match for you in a debate”
He didn't continue, so Cornelia should've stopped too. But she kept going, “Brian, you should apologize to me now!"
Brian laughed as if he'd heard a hilarious joke, “What'd you say?"
Emily chimed in, "She's asking you to apologize!"
Brian covered Emily's mouth with his hand, "When I don't ask you to talk, you should zip it: Cornelia said, “I want an apology from you.”
She'd already accepted Grandpa Augustine and was now part of the Duran family. As long as Grandpa Augustine was around, she'd definitely have more encounters with the Durans. Given the frequent interactions, she needed to set some ground rules from the start. Some principles couldn't be compromised. Otherwise, anyone could insult her at will in the future.
Brian asked, "What did I say wrong?”
Cornelia answered, "You think you did nothing wrong?"
Brian asked, "Dare you say you don't love money?"
Cornelia answered, "My money is earned through legitimate means: Brian said, "Conning an old man for his money is legitimate?
Cornelia, where is your conscience?”
Watching the two of them bickering heatedly, Wyatt and Alexa didn't dare to butt in. Only Emily stood up for Cornelia again, "If you keep bullying her, I'll stop loving you’’
Brian said, "It's her who's bullying me”
