Cornelia looked at Briana with surprise and asked, "Do you know Jeremy?"
Judging by Cornelia's reaction, Briana guessed she might not know Marcus is Jeremy.
But she didn't get why her brother would keep it a secret from Cornelia.
If Marcus decided to keep it a secret, she couldn't spill the beans or she'd be in for it.
"I'm not sure if I'm supposed to know him. Cornelia, you take a breather. I'll go have a word with my brother." After saying that, Briana rushed off.
She dashed to find Marcus. The study and master bedroom on the second floor were empty. She ran downstairs, shouting as she went, "Bro, where are you?"
Marcus was in the living room on the first floor, flipping through the latest fashion magazine. Hearing her shout, he frowned, "I'm not deaf, why are you hollering?"
Briana ran to him and sat next to him, "Cornelia just told me her husband's name is Jeremy. So, you and her..."
Since she already knew about his relationship with Cornelia, Marcus didn't plan on keeping it from her anymore, "Yeah, Cornelia is your sister-in-law."
Briana had thought he'd deny it and choose to keep it under wraps. But his quick admission left her unsure, "Is Cornelia really my sister-in-law?"
Marcus put down the magazine and tapped her head, "What, you think I'm pulling your leg? If Cornelia wasn't your sister-in-law, why would I let her live here? But you have to keep it on the down-low. Cornelia can't know about this yet."
Rubbing her head, Briana said, "You know I can't keep a secret. I'm afraid I might let it slip."
