Chapter 1268
At this moment, Trevor finally got a taste of how temfying Comelia really was.
Comelia 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
Comelia 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

“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.
“She knows I’m on your side.” Trevor said.
“Even if she knows, it doesn’t matter. When you messed with them, neither Marcus nor his men showed up. It
proves that Marcus has really fallen for another woman and abandoned her. Now Comelia is of no use.” Brennen
said.
Trevor asked, “Do you know who Augustine is? Do you know the consequences of messing with him?”
Brennen answered, “I didn’t ask you to actually lay a hand on Cornelia.”
Trevor finally understood, “So you knew all along.”

“If I didn’t, would you tell me the truth? I’ve been nothing but loyal to you, but how have you treated me?” Trevor
didn’t need a response, and hung up. He turned to Cornelia, “You can go. I promise I won’t mess with you guys
again.”
Not that he wouldn’t, but that he wouldn’t dare. Cornelia obviously knew, but still kindly reminded him, “Brennen is
not a good guy. You have parents and a child. Get the hell out of here while you still can.
“Do you think I can still escape?” Trevor laughed.
“You should’ve known better. This is what you get for biting off more than you can chew,” Cornelia said.
“Since you were kind enough to warn me, I’ll share some good news with you.” Trevor said.
Comelia asked, “Good news? Do I need you to tell me?”
Trevor said, “Your ex, Marcus, is now down and out. The Hartley Group is about to be taken over by Brennen again.”
Comelia smiled, “Brennen told me the same thing a month ago. He said the Hartley Group would be his in a week,
but a month has passed and I still don’t see the Hartley Group changing hands.”
