Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband
Chapter 45

Chapter 45 

“Why do you always bother my brother? Don’t you know you’re embarrassing him? Just get out of here!” 

Cornelia was stunned by the girls scolding 

Luckily, Marcus quickly stepped in, “Briana Hartley, do you know what you’re talking about?! Apologize right now!” 

His voice was deep and earnest, full of authority and toughness 

“Bro, you want me to apologize to this shameless woman?” For the first time in her twenty–something years, Briana saw Marcus being so harsh with her. She felt wronged, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes. “You’ve never been angry with me before, but now you’re angry with me because of a disloyal woman.” 

Briana sobbed “Bro, this woman has already hooked up with other men. Are you just going to pretend nothing happened?” 

It was then that Cornelia realized Briana had misunderstood her true identity. 

Cornelia laughed self–mockingly and said, “Ms. Hartley, I’m just Marcus‘ assistant. What does it matter to him who I’ve been with?” 

She was right. She was just an assistant. He had no right to interfere with her relationships 

But Marcus didn’t understand why he felt so uncomfortable about it. 

Almost instantly, Briana’s tearful face broke into a bright smile, as if she hadn’t been the one crying just moments before “Oh, so you’re Cornelia, the assistant. I’m so sorry! I wasn’t trying to yell at you. Actually, I was talking about my cheating sister–in–law.” 

Cornelia was puzzled, “You can’t even recognize your sister–in–law?” 

Briana was about to say something, but Marcus interrupted her. “Why did you come back early?” 

Briana said wrongly, “Of course, I come back to celebrate your birthday, but you scolded me.” 

Marcus sternly scolded her, “You insult people without knowing the facts. You haven’t learned anything besides insulting other people in all these years, have you?” 

“Bro, I’m very sorry! I was just worried that a bad woman was deceiving you” Briana playfully grabbed his clothes, but it had no effect. 

“So you think it’s okay to insult people just because you’re worried about me?” Marcus said emotionlessly, exuding authority. “Can you just insult anyone around me?” 

Briana had never seen Marcus so strict before, and she was truly scared of him. She turned to Cornelia for help, holding her arm. “Cornelia, I’m sorry. Can you forgive me? If you do, Ill help you with anything you need from now on” 

“It’s okay if you weren’t insulting me “Cornelia got scolded for no reason, but she wasn’t that angry. 

Besides, Briana was Marcus‘ sister, and as a brother, Marcus had the right to discipline her. Cornelia, an outsider, had no right to be angry at Briana. 

Briana and Marcus shared some similarities. She’s beautiful like a little elf, and Cornelia was attracted to beautiful things. 

Briana hugged Cornelia tightly, “Cornelia, you’re beautiful and kind. From now on, you’re my friend.” 

The little girl’s enthusiasm was quite overwhelming. 

“Briana, Marcus…” A sweet female voice came from the doorway. 

Cornelia turned to see a beautiful young girl. 

The girl had a delicate face. She wore a white dress, with her black hair draped over her shoulders. She looked like a college student 

She walked towards Marcus with a smile, “Brother Marcus, long time no see. I’ve missed you!” 

Marcus glanced at her, “Who are you? Why would you miss me?”
