She had read a bunch of novels and comics about soul swapping, where one person's soul enters another person's body and inherits the host's memories.
But the new host didn’t necessarily inherit the old host's memories right away. These memories came back gradually. She fired questions at him so fast, barely giving him time to think. Only her brother could answer this question. That's how she could tell if he was really her brother.
"You were pushed down the stone steps by our nanny when you were five." Marcus had almost forgotten about this. It reminded him of the nanny who used to take care of her. She was secretly abusing a child of just a few years old.
If it weren't for Briana getting hurt and sent to the hospital, where the doctors found numerous scars on her body, their family might have taken much longer to discover the abuse.
"How do you know?" Briana was almost convinced. But then she thought of a possible coincidence and asked a second question, "What did you say to me on my tenth birthday?"
Marcus rarely said sweet nothings directly to Briana, but he knew her well, "I said I would take care of you, protect you, and make you happy for the rest of your life."
On Briana's tenth birthday, she was hoping her parents could come back to celebrate with her. She waited all day for them, only to receive the news of their divorce.
The two no longer showed the deep affection of a married couple. They were openly with their own lovers. They had practically thrown the reputation of the Hartley Group to the wind.
If he hadn't taken over the Hartley Group in time and taken decisive actions to change the company's image, the Hartley Group might have already been discarded by the world.
