Chapter 1302
In a blink of an eye, Brennen turned into a bad guy, especially with all the shady stuff happening at the Hartley
Group which smelt like money laundering. So they hauled Brennen into the police station for questioning Before the
investigation, everyone was completely clueless. But once they started digging, a whole bunch of problems popped
up.
There was one issue that was particularly serious. If proved, Brennen would be facing the death penalty. The
investigators found out that Brennen had actually been secretly manufacturing prohibited drugs and they had even
hit the streets.
Brennen, who had been cool as a cucumber, thought the cops were just going through the motions because he

that was when he realized things were serious. “What prohibited drugs? I’m a law-abiding citizen, why would I be
involved with illegal stuff?” Brennen asked in disbelief.
The interrogator said, “It’s not about using prohibited drugs; it’s about you manufacturing them. Brennen, come
clean. The more you cooperate, the easier it’ll be for you. The more you resist, the harder it’ll be.”
Brennen laughed and said, “Before you try to frame someone, you should at least have some solid evidence. You
guys have nothing. Why should I believe you?”
Just as he finished speaking, a familiar figure strode up to him, “Brennen, I’ve gathered all the evidence you want.”
Brennen, seeing who it was, felt a chill, “Dylan, what are you talking about?”
Dylan said, “Brennen, did you really think that threatening my family would make me betray President Hartley?
When I had nothing, it was President Hartley who extended his hand to me. He sponsored me to study at the best
schools, gave me a job, and let me showcase my abilities. He’s not just my boss, he’s also my benefactor. Without
him, there would be no me. I’m willing to risk my life for him, and so is my family.”
Brennen asked, “So you were undercover?”
Dylan said, “How else could I have collected all your criminal evidence?”
Brennen finally caught on, “So when I had you trick Cornelia into my car, Marcus knew about it?”
Dylan said, “Of course.”
Brennen laughed, “I actually thought he was a man who truly loved her. Turns out, he’s also capable of using his
wife, planting an undercover like you by my side.”
Dylan said, “President Hartley didn’t use Cornelia. He made sure she was 100% safe.”
Brennen replied, “100%? How could he be so sure that I wouldn’t do anything to Cornelia before he arrived?”
Dylan stayed silent.

Brennen added, “In the end, he doesn’t love her enough. Because he doesn’t, she became a tool he could use. He
doesn’t consider whether she might get hurt in his plan.”
Dylan said, “What’s the point of saying all this now?”
Brennen replied, “How can it be pointless? If we become enemies again, I won’t believe he’s capable of love.”
In Dylan’s eyes, Marcus was a man of deep feelings. He didn’t want to discuss irrelevant topics with Brennen. He
said, “Brennen, you won’t get the chance to be President Hartley’s enemy again in this life. You better do some soul
redemption in hell, maybe you’ll get a chance to be a human in the next life. Otherwise, you might be stuck as
livestock forever, and that’s really miserable.”
Brennen shouted, “Watch your mouth! You keep talking crazy, you think I won’t hit you?”
Dylan fired back, “Who do you think you are? You think I’m scared of you?
