Chapter 805
Marcus didnât get a chance to argue when Cornelia shot back, âDid you and your sister team up to screw me over?â
Marcus was left speechless
Cornelia huffed. âI donât want excuses. You need to find your grandmas and Patriciaâs phones and delete that video before they see it
With that, Cornelia stormed off into the house, leaving the two of them staring at each other
Realizing she pissed Cornelia aff, Briana attempted to bail But Marcusâ stern voice echoed from behind her, âBrianaâ
She turned around, grinning at Marcus, âBro, it was all Grandmaâs idea. If youâre going to blame anyone, blame her
Marcus snapped, âYou blame everything on Grandma. Whatever she asks, you would do. Donât you have a mind of your own?â
Briana replied, âGrandma is old, and her biggest wish is to have a greatâgrandchild. As a dutiful granddaughter, how can I ignore her wishes?â
Marcus said seriously, âAll you do is make excusesâ
Seeing she was in hot water, Briana quickly apologized, âYouâre right, itâs my fault!â
While she admitted her wrongs, she didnât truly believe she was at fault. She was just following Grandmaâs orders, keeping tabs on the couple, and reporting any news to Grandma to help her realize her wish
Sheâd put in a lot of effort for this family. She hadnât done anything wrong!
Not at all!
Marcus asked, âWhat did you do wrong?â
Briana answered, âEverythingâ
Marcus said, âYou make mistakes and show no remorse. Starting from tomorrow, youâre grounded. Reflect on yourself.â
Briana said, âBro, are you joking?â
Marcus ignored her and walked away.
Briana hurned after him, âPease forgive me this time. I promise it wonât happen again. Iâll take better care of Cornelia if you donât punish me?â
Marcus asked, âIf I punish you, you wonât take care of Cornelia?â
Briana replied. âOf course Iâll still take care of Cornelia, sheâs always been nice to me. But if you donât punish me, I can take even better care of herâ
Marcus said, âThis isnât a situation for bargaining.â
Brana pleaded, âBro, please.â
She really shouldnât have annoyed Marcus by messing with the person he cared about the most, all because of Grandmaâs words. If only Cornelia spoke up for her when Marcus was picking on her.
She definitely needed to be smarter in the future and know who not to mess with in the house
After showering, Cornelia went straight to bed, still seeming miffed Marcus came into the room, but she ignored him and buried herself under the covers, pretending to be asleep
He didnât bother with her either.
Cornelia perked up her ears and listened. From the sounds of it, Marcus went to the bathroom. After a while, she heard the sound of running water from the bathroom, and then the water stopped Next was the sound of the bathroom door opening and closing. Then, Cornelia heard what seemed like deliberately softened footsteps, slowly
