At this moment, Trevor finally got a taste of how terrifying Cornelia really was.
Cornelia said, "You've got a family, parents who run a small business, quite a comfortable life. You're not some desperate dude who's out of job and out of choices. It's rare for someone who's not up against a wall to pull something as extreme as this. So I've been wondering, why the hell did you do it? After a whole day of mulling it over, I think I've finally got the picture."
"And what picture is that?" Trevor asked.
Cornelia said, "I started figuring it out from the moment you showed up. You popped up around Abby just when Brennen started making his moves. And you didn't show up even after Abby dumped you a while ago. Then, not long after Brennen found me, bam, there you were. If I still couldn't piece together the connection between you guys, then I must be really dumb."
"And since you know all this, do you think I'd let you walk away?" Trevor asked.
Cornelia waved her bag again, "In here is info on your family. I know exactly where your kid goes to school. If you dare to lay a finger on me, your family won't get away."
Trevor glared at her, "You dare to threaten me? Without Marcus, who do you think you are!"
Cornelia calmly replied, "Even without Marcus, I still got my Grandpa Augustine. You know who Grandpa Augustine is? If not, you can always ask Brennen. I can't believe he wouldn't know that Augustine of the Capital is my own grandpa."
Trevor was skeptical, "Augustine of the Capital is your grandpa? Why would you bring up the Duran family of the Capital? How can you even get access to the Duran family?"
"Make a call to your boss, and you'll know." Cornelia said.
Indeed, just one call and the truth would be out.
Trevor pulled out his phone, dialed Brennen. Upon connection, he heard Brennen ask, "What did Cornelia tell you?"
How did Brennen know that Cornelia was looking for him? Trevor instantly scanned his surroundings and spotted a suspicious car not far away. Turned out, Brennen had already sent someone to tail him.
