Chapter 1147
Brian clammed up, as if he was giving silent consent.
Alexa nudged him, “This ain’t cool, man”
Brian retorted, “Why not? I’m just helping Augustine check if his granddaughter is up to no good.”
Alexa kept going. “If he found out, he’d be pissed. He loves the girl to bits, whether he knew she was his granddaughter or not. You think he’d let her get the short end of the stick?”
Brian shrugged it off, “I’m just testing her, not hurting her. Why are you getting your knickers in a twist?”
Alexa shot back, “Regardless, I think it’s wrong and it could hurt someone’s pride.”
Brian said, “I know what I’m doing. You can sit this one out, but don’t you go messing up my plan.”
Alexa wanted to say something, but when he caught the warning in Brian’s eyes, he kept his mouth shut. Even though he was born less than half an hour later than this guy, he was still his little brother after all.
After breakfast, Cornelia changed into a fresh, beige casual outfit, ready to head out with a few of the Duran clan.
Grandpa Augustine saw Cornelia off to the garage, handing her a bank card, “Nelly, this is some pocket money I prepared for you. The password is your birthday.”
Cornelia accepted it without hesitation, grinning from ear to ear, “Thanks!”
Because she knew if she accepted, he would be pleased. If she didn’t, he’d be upset. Why would she not take it?
Brian saw Cornelia accept the card without a second thought and rolled his eyes.
Seeing Cornelia happily taking the card, Grandpa Augustine was thrilled, “You can spend this card however you like, no need to save for me.”
Cornelia replied, “Okay”
