Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 259

Justin felt the nerves and said, "President Hartley, you're quite a character."

Marcus gave him a frosty look, "You think I'm kidding around with you?"

Justin knew full well Marcus wasn't joking. He had braced himself for this task when he accepted it, "President Hartley, shouldn't you consult your wife first?"

"Get to it." Marcus walked to the first floor and saw his sister, Briana, sitting on the couch, grinning at her phone, "Briana, how old are you?"

Briana glanced up, then back at her phone, "Bro, you don't even know how old I am? You really don't care about me. For your info, I'm turning twenty-three."

Marcus said, "You clearly know you're already twenty-three, why are you still glued to your phone?"

"I'm not a kid anymore, you want to control even my phone time?" Briana pouted, "Cornelia, back me up."

As an assistant, Cornelia didn't want to get involved in their sibling squabble, she just smiled and said nothing.

Marcus said, "Put down the phone."

Briana retorted, "I won't."

Marcus turned to Cornelia, "Make calls right now. Freeze all her bank cards."

Briana was twenty-three, an adult. To have her bank cards frozen for using her phone seemed a bit excessive to Cornelia, but she didn't say anything and dutifully responded, "Yes, sir."

Briana knew her brother meant business. Reluctantly, she put down her phone, "I'm sorry. Please don't freeze my cards, okay?"

Marcus looked a little taken aback. Cornelia was already past her twenty-fourth birthday, and he was only four years and a month older. When did he become an old man?

Briana felt a little comforted hearing that. She was no longer angry, "Cornelia, if you read comics, do you know the one with the character Ashley?"

Cornelia nodded, "I do." How could she not? She was the one who drew it.

Briana felt like she'd found a kindred spirit. She immediately forgot about Marcus freezing her cards, "I have to tell you, I'm a super-fan of that comic. I was hooked from the first issue. I heard it's being turned into a live-action series with the hot-shot actress, Hannah, as the lead. She's a great choice. But the male lead, not so sure. James is a decent actor, but he's just not good-looking enough. He's nowhere near as handsome as the character."

Cornelia completely agreed, "Truth be told, I don't think any male actor can match the character's good looks. Let's just hope James' acting can make up for his lack of looks."

Briana was thrilled to hear Cornelia's response, "You think so too! When I heard they were making a series, I went through all the good-looking male actors in my mind, but none of them fit the bill."
