Chapter 408 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband
- Cornelia asked, “Bri, got any suspects in mind? We need to give the cops as much info as we can so they can crack this case” Briana shook her head again. “Me and my partners haven’t pissed anyone off, so it’s not a revenge thing We’re considering the possibility of a random act Now, a random act had its pros and cons Downside was, with no leads, it was hard to get to the bottom of things Upside was, if it was random, Briana wasn’t someone’s specific target, which was good for her safety Funny thing was, this case seemed clueless but also seemed full of leads. A possible suspect suddenly popped into Cornelia’s mind. But Cornelia found the idea outrageous, thinking no matter how ruthless the person could be, they wouldn’t harm their own flesh and blood.
- However, little did Comelia know, her outrageous idea might not be that far–fetched. In fact, it could be spot on. Because whoever was behind this couldn’t contain their motives any longer and had begun to act. Two burly men in suits showed up, their muscular bodies hidden under their attire. One of the suit guys said, “Mrs. Hartley, Bri. Brennen has some intel on how Bri’s expo stuff got swiped. You interested in hearing the details?” Brennen Hartley was Marcus and Briana’s dad Just hearing his name made Briana tense up. “Did he have someone swipe my stuff?* Briana had a gut feeling about the answer because Brennen had the chops to pull something like this off without anyone knowing. And the fact he sent someone over meant he had wiped any evidence pointing his way. He was safe. Suit guy said, “Why don’t you ask Brennen yourself, Bri?”
- Briana was shaking like a leaf, clutching Cornelia’s clothes tight. She was scared Cornelia would ditch her, “Cornelia.” Cornelia noticed Briana’s fear, immediately grabbed her cold hand, comforting her, “Bri, don’t worry. If you don’t want to go, I won’t let them take you” Cornelia’s voice was soft yet firm, hearing her say this seemed to ease Briana’s fear a bit. Cornelia gave the two suit guys a cold stare, “Brennen? Who’s Brennen? Do we know him? Do we have to see him whenever he snaps his fingers?” Suit guy said, “When Brennen found out Bri’s expo stuff got swiped overnight, as a father, he was heartbroken for his daughter. So he had people look into it and they found some leads. He sent us to you guys, just wanted to share them.” Briana said, “Comelia, I’m sure he had my stuff swiped” Cornelia asked, “Briana, do you want your stuff back?” Briana nodded furiously. “Of course I do!” Cornelia suggested, “I can help you get it back.” Briana asked, “How?” Cornelia answered, “By talking to him face to face.”
