Chapter 1015

Marcus chuckled, not replying. “Let’s head home first”

Cornelia asked. “You’re not going to tell me, are you?”

Marcus replied, “I’m hungry, can you whip up something to eat when we get home?”

Seeing he wouldn’t say more, Cornelia didn’t press, “Alright, let’s go”

Meanwhile, Brenner’s guys managed to locate Dylan again, bringing him to the courtyard where Cornelia had just left.

The two men who found Dylan, the same ones who found Cornelia, were significantly nicer to Dylan, ‘Mr. Brennen is waiting for you inside, right this way”

Dylan followed them into the courtyard, passing the fountain and finally entering an elegantly decorated dinning hall.

Various mouth–watering dishes were laid out.

Brennen greeted Dylan with a smile, “I know you skipped lunch. I had some dishes prepared for you. Hope you like them.”

Dylan sat across Brennen, his face expressionless, “I’ve done what you asked Where’s Carolina?”

Dylan, an orphan, was raised by Carolina from the orphanage To him, Carolina was as important as a mother.

Brennen knew this weakness of Dylan, which was why he had taken Carolina hostage.

Knowing Carolina was in danger. Dylan couldn’t just ignore it. After some thought, he made a tough decision.

Brennen said, “When you tricked Cornelia into getting into the car, our people would have already returned Carolina to her home. I’m a man of my word I promised not to hurt her as long as you did what | asked.”

Brennen was far from trustworthy, so Dylan quickly video called Carolina to ensure she was safe at home. Only then he breathed a sigh of relief.

As he ended the call, Brennen filled his glass with wine, “What are you planning to do now?”

Dylan drained his glass in one gulp. “You should know well, Marcus won’t let me off the hook easily after I betrayed him. Whether I can save my own skin is still up in the air. The one thing I’m certain of is that I won’t be able to keep my job as the head of Rosenberg branch of the Hartley Group. Even if Marcus doesn’t kill me, no other companies would dare to hire me. I might have to live off my savings from now on”

Brennen looked at the troubled Dylan, “Your next employer is sitting right in front of you, haven’t you considered teaming up with me?”

Dylan lifted his gaze, staring at Brennen coldly. “I haven’t forgotten how you used Carolina to threaten me. I hold grudges.”

Brennen responded, “Good that you hold grudges, I’d be worried if you didn’t.”

Dylan said, “Whatever you want, I won’t collaborate with you”

Dylan rejected him, but Brennen wasn’t in a rush, “No problem! You’ll have plenty of time to consider working for me. With me, I might not be able to guarantee other things, but at least I can ensure your safety”

Dylan smirked. “Ten years ago, he was a minor, and you were no match for him. Do you think you can snatch his people away from him now?”

Brennen filled his glass again, “Ten years ago, I was caught off guard by his sudden attack. But things are different now. I’m fully prepared. Snatching someone from him should be a piece of cake for me”

Dylan paused for a moment, then asked, “Can you really guarantee my safety?”

Brennen replied, “Whether I can save you or not, you have nothing to lose at this point, why not give it a shot?”

Dylan asked. “You’re asking me to gamble with my life?”

Brennen responded, “If you don’t try, can you be sure you’ll survive?”

Dylan replied, “Maybe I can plead with Cornelia.”
