Chapter 366
Cornella was pretty cocky about her cooking skills, âYou guys help with some prep and Iâll take care of the main cooking todayâ
Dr. Dawson was a whiz in medicine, but his cooking was nothing great, âSounds goodâ
Cornelia assigned Dr. Dawson and Ayden to prep the ingredients according to her menu
First up, lamb chops and steak. Everyone was working together, washing and chopping veggies, as smooth as a well oiled machine in no time, all the ingredients were ready
It was approaching noon. Perfect timing for when Marcus and the gang would be done with work and heading home
But, Cornelia didnt expect Marcus to be home just past noon, and he wasnât alone. He brought Briana with him
And by brought I mean he dragged her home like a kid.
As soon as they walked in, Briana started to gripe at Marcus, Iâm 23. for crying out loud! You canât just haul me off in front of all my friends! I have some dignity, you knowâ Marcus shot back. If you had any dignity, you wouldnât cake your face like that.â
Briana was boiling mad. Everyone does their makeup like this! Why canât 17 Marcus, youâre just a control freak! You told me you would butt out of my business, and here you are, sticking your nose in it again Youâre such a hypocrite
Marcus ordered, âGo wash that gunk off your face.â
Briana refused. No way! I wonât do it!â
Marcus challenged. âSay that again!â
Briana retorted, âI said, âNo way! You know what, Marcus, I can see why my sisterâinâlaw canât stand you! Youâre nothing but an overbearing, boring workaholic. You should stay single forever! Why donât you just get a divorce and stop wasting her youth? She can find someone who actually cares about herâ
The lock behind Marcus glasses turned serious. The room suddenly became tense, âGo to a dark roorn and reflect! No leaving without my permission!â
Dark room! Reflect! No leaving without permission!
These words hit Briana hard, her face turned pale and her hands started shaking as she pointed at Marcus, âYouâ¦â
Cornelia, busy in the kitchen, heard the commotion and came out to see the sibling squabble. She felt like she stumbled upon something she wasnât supposed to know.
Not wanting to get in trouble with Marcus, she made a beeline for the exit, pretending she didnât hear a thing. But, she was too hasty and accidentally knocked into a chair, catching the attention of the feuding siblings.
âCornelia!â Briana ran to Cornelia, threw herself into her arms, and started sobbing. âCornelia, donât leave, please help me.â
