Marcus didn't get a chance to argue when Cornelia shot back, "Did you and your sister team up to screw me over?”
Marcus was left speechless.
Cornelia huffed, “I don't want excuses. You need to find your grandmas and Patricia's 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 off, Briana attempted to bail. But Marcus’ stern voice echoed from behind her, “Briana!”
She turned around, grinning at Marcus, “Bro, it was all Grandma's idea. If you're going to blame anyone, blame her.”
Marcus snapped, “You blame everything on Grandma. Whatever she asks, you would do. Don't you have a mind of your own?”
Briana replied, “Grandma is old, and her biggest wish is to have a great-grandchild. As a dutiful granddaughter, how can I ignore her wishes?”
Marcus said seriously, “All you do is make excuses.”
Seeing she was in hot water, Briana quickly apologized, “You're right, it's my fault!”
While she admitted her wrongs, she didn't truly believe she was at fault. She was just following Grandma's orders, keeping tabs on the couple, and reporting any news to Grandma to help her realize her wish.
She'd put in a lot of effort for this family. She hadn't done anything wrong!
Not at all!
Marcus asked, “What did you do wrong?”
