Chapter 1048
Brennen said, âI only have one son, Who the hell is Marcus?â
Zavier was speechless.
Brennen continued, âOur attempt to kidnap Cornella falled. Because of this, Marcus will definitely tighten up her security. Itâll be tougher to get to her next time.â
Granger said, âIf we canât kidnap her, we can trick her into walking right into our trap
Brennen asked, âGot any bright ideas?â
Granger said, âWe can spread a rumor that her mom, Clair, is still alive. Once she hears that, sheâll be hellâbent on finding her.â
Brennen said, âThat woman is smart. She wonât be easily fooled.â
Granger asserted, âSheâs been with Marcus for a while, and theyâve got feelings for each other. Trying to convince her that you made up the story about Marcus killing Jeremy wonât be easy. But this is a different case Her family is dead. If she thinks her mom is still alive, sheâll lose her cool. And people tend to screw up when theyâre not thinking straight.â
Brennen said, âIn the absence of a better plan, you can give this a shotâ
Granger said, âIâll tell her the news tomorrow. But who should deliver the message to make sure she doesnât suspect anything?â
Brennen said, âHer sister, I guess.â
Granger said, âAlnght, Iâll message the little girl right awayâ
Zavier let out a cold laugh.
Brennen said, âMr. Rivera, you have something to say?â
Zavier said, âI thought you were smart, but youâre just resorting to petty tricks.â
Brennen asked, âGot any bright ideas?â
Zavier pulled out his phone, typed a message in front of everyone, and sent it to Cornelia: I heard your mother is still alive.]
After sending it, he looked at the three men, âDo you know what real bait is? Real bait is concise information.â
Brennen chuckled, âWell, weâll be waiting for your good news then.â
Zavier waved them off, âYou can leave now. Donât interrupt my drinking.â
âMr. Rivera, too much alcohol is bad for your health. Brennen gave some fake advice before leaving.
The people from the Reese family didnât utter a word and followed Brennen out.
After they left, Zavier slouched on the sofa, drinking one glass after another. When he was drunk, he vaguely saw Skyler.
Skyler was wearing her favorite blue dress, standing in front of him, quietly gazing down at him with disappointed eyes.
*Skyler? Skyler, is that you? Are you back?â Zavier lunged forward to grab her hand, and it felt like he really caught hold of something.
