Cornelia didn't respond, to Brennen it seemed like she was shook. He chuckled with a hint of mockery and triumph, "It could be next week, or maybe even sooner than that, the whole world will know that I am back in control of the Hartley Group."
Cornelia shot back, "Check the Hartley Group's history. You not only didn't contribute anything to the group, but you also drove it into the ground during your tenure.
“Marcus took over the Hartley Group and brought it back to its feet, putting it back on top of the world. The group is now tightly knit with him, with his loyal aides managing it from top to bottom. Brennen, you trying to snatch the Hartley Group from President Hartley is like trying to crack a rock with an egg, you're the one who's gonna crack first."
"Ha-ha. The Hartley Group is filled with his loyal aides? You've been by Marcus' side for so long and you're still this naive?" Brennen said.
Cornelia didn’t reply.
Brennen sneered, "As the saying goes, birds die for food and men die for money. What's loyalty in the face of vast interests? Otherwise, how could Dylan, who has been by Marcus' side for years and was even assigned by him to hold the fort at Rosenberg, betray Marcus and come to me?"
"Dylan works for you now?" Cornelia was taken aback.
Not too long ago, in Rosenberg, under Brennen's threat, Dylan played a trick on her and lured her into Brennen's car. Although Dylan deceived her, she didn't blame him. He wasn't her family or friend, and Brennen threatened him with his family's lives. It was only natural for Dylan to choose to save his own family. If she were in Dylan's shoes, she would do the same.
Because Dylan deceived Cornelia, it angered Marcus and Dylan was fired. But Cornelia never expected Dylan to be working for Brennen now. Having been with Marcus for so long, Dylan knew everything about him, including his way of working. Brennen using Dylan to fight against Marcus, that was a sharp move indeed.
Brennen added, "Not just Dylan, many of your so-called loyal aides of Marcus are now working for me."
