Patricia made for you Have some before you rest”
After speaking Briana found the bed empty Turning around, she saw Cornelia coming out of the
bathroom, already changed into her own clothes “Cornelia, are you leaving?”
Comelia gave a gentle smile. “Yes, I’m fine now and ready to go home. Sorry for the trouble last night,
and thank you for taking care of me”
“It wasn’t me it was my brother who stayed with you all night.” Briana brought the soup to Comelia “If
you’re leaving at least finish the soup first”
Cornelia accepted the bowl the aroma wafting up was unmistakeable. It was a delicious slow–cooked
soup, making her feel even more uneasy. “Was it President Hartley who stayed by my side last night?”
“Yes, it was my brother who was with you But don’t be surprised, as he was just being nice because
you share the same name as my sister in law My brother might be a bit slow on the uptake when it
comes to feelings, but once he sets his mind on someone, he’s loyal for life. He must really love my
sister–in–law and because you share her name, he’s nice to you” Briana thought her brother was nice
to Cornelia because she was a competent assistant
Although Briana wasn’t the apple of their parents‘ eye growing up, with her grandmother, brother, the
housekeeper, and Patricia doting on her, she was a spoiled little princess, and quite naive

Cornella didn’t have an appetite and wasn’t planning on drinking it, but seeing the little girls expectant
eyes, her heart softened. Even if the little gul handed her a bowl of poison, she’d still drink it
Cornelia picked up the spoon and gulped it down, “Bri, is there anything else you need me to do?”
Cornelia was just humoring her by drinking the soup, but Briana was so delighted she gave Cornelia a
