Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 814

Briana just shook her head at the suggestion, "No, no way, I don't wanna see him!"

Cornelia said, "You don't have to, I'll go."

Briana was scared herself and certainly would not let Cornelia take the risk, "Cornelia, that guy’s super creepy. I swear we might not even come back alive if we go. If I'm not going, you’re not going either."

Cornelia replied, "He's not going to harm me, not yet. Besides, I've got a trump card."

Briana queried, "What trump card?"

"I’ll ask your brother for someone. With him around, we just need to use our brains. Leave the dirty work to him." Cornelia explained and texted Marcus right away: [President Hartley, can I borrow Ayden again?]

Unknown to Cornelia, Marcus had already arranged for Ayden to secretly protect her. He replied quickly: [From now on, Ayden is at your disposal. You can order him around without my consent.]

Cornelia responded: [That doesn't feel right. It’s as if I am scheming to snatch your man.]

Marcus texted back: [What's mine is yours.]

His straightforward words touched Cornelia once again: [I'm at the convention center now. Tell him to find me here. I need him for something big.]

Marcus asked: [What is it?]

Cornelia knew Brennen was no pushover, and she was well aware of her own limitations. Taking on Brennen alone was a total suicide mission. So when Marcus asked, Cornelia spilled the beans: [Briana's exhibits were all stolen and the cops are out of leads. Then Brennen's people showed up. They told us he has some clues and wants us to meet him.]
