Chapter 371
Marcus raised an eyebrow, murmuring. You might be able to kid yourself with that, but donât think you can pull wool over my eyesâ
âMarcus. Iâm your mother, why would I lie to you? If you donât want to talk about your wife, letâs talk about your sister, Briâ Courtney was a pro at changing the subject âBris all grown up, but she hasnât really done anything substantial You need to teach her something she canât always rely on youâ
Who was she to meddle in Brianaâs life now that she had grown up? She didnât care about her when she was akad
Marcus didnât want to waste his breath on her âSpit it out. Why are you here this time?â
Courtney smiled. âOf course Iâm here to celebrate the New Year with you You were always busy and away from home. I wanted to come, but never had the time Now that you happen to be in Paris, which is not far from me, I decided to put other things aside and spend the New Year with you.â
âYou never celebrated the New Year with us when we were kids, thereâs no need to play pretend nowâ Marcus gestured for her to leave. âMy family is waiting for me to have dinner, you can go nowâ
âMarcus, I admit I made mistakes in the past. I want to make amends, you should give me a chance. Besides, you have your own family now, you might not need me as a mother, but you should consider Bri.â
âHow dare you bring up Bri? Donât make me kick you out.â Not kicking her out was already the greatest respect he could show her.
âIf you want to kick me out, at least let me finish my speech.â
Marcus stared at her coldly, without saying a word.
Courtney continued, âActually, I have another purpose for coming. Your sister wants to enter the entertainment industry, and you know how complex that environment can be To avoid those business sharks, one must have real strengthâ
âShut up! Leave immediately, I donât want to see you again Seeing this despicable woman only reminded him of his painful past.
Now she dared to mention that illegitimate daughter
As far as Marcus was concerned, he only had one sister, Briana!
Courtney wouldnât leave so easily without achieving her goal, âMarcus, whether you admit it or not, you canât deny that Emily is your sister.â
Marcus said. âGet lost!â
âOkay, okay, I wonât mention her Courtney took out a bracelet from her bag. âThis bracelet was given to me by your grandmother. Itâs a family heirloom of the Hartley family, meant for the daughterâinâlaw She wanted me to personally give it to your wife, Cornelia.â
Marcus looked coldly at the bracelet she handed over. The quality of the bracelet was indeed good, just like the one his grandmother mentioned. But he couldnât accept anything that this woman had touched, âNo need!*
Courtney said coldly, âMarcus, this is a family heirloom of the Hartley family. Your grandmother told me when she gave me this bracelet, to pass it on to my daughterâinâlaw.â
