Chapter 1004

The man replied. “You’ll find out once you’re inside”

Comelia 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”

Comelia 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”

Comelia 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 Comelia 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 ”

“Yes” The three women answered in unison, then left one after the other, their steps surprisingly silent

After the women left, the man continued to ignore Cornelia and focus on his game of chess. He didn’t pay her any

mind, and Cornelia didn’t speak either. She studied the man closely, even seated, he was clearly tall, and there was

something about his features that reminded her of Marcus.

If she had to guess, she’d say this man was Marcus‘ father – Brennen Hartley

Brennen had tried multiple times to meet her, even resorting to extreme measures, but Marcus had always arrived

in time to thwart himn.

This time, Brennen had managed to bribe someone Marcus trusted deeply, Dylan. If Marcus found out that

someone he trusted had betrayed him, he’d be crushed Comelia didn’t want to see Marcus betrayed by those he

trusted most, nor did she want to see him hurt.

After what seemed like an eternity, Brennen finally put down his chess piece and looked up at Cornelia, “Ms.

Stewart, it’s nice to finally meet you. I’m sure you’ve already guessed who I am.”

Comelia asked, “Did you bribe Dylan?”

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, Linvited 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?”
