The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 719:

Brenna instinctively raised her hands to defend herself, but the force of the shove sent Elsa reeling backward toward the staircase. “Ah!” Elsa cried out as she fell.

At that critical moment, Kenny’s military training kicked in. He dashed forward and caught Elsa securely around the waist. “Brenna! This crosses every line. You refuse to break up with me and now you try to harm my mother? How could any woman be like you?” Kenny’s tone carried a forced edge of reproach, though he felt no pleasure in delivering it. Given how the situation had escalated—with Brenna nearly exposing his true identity—he knew he had to act convincingly. Under no circumstances could he allow anyone to doubt that he was Ethan.

Terror gripped Elsa; had she actually fallen down those stairs, the injuries could have been serious.

“Brenna, you’ve gone too far. I approached this conversation with dignity and respect, yet you refuse to accept reality. Here and now, I officially declare my son’s engagement to Minna! Your connection to him is completely severed! We’re leaving!” Elsa said firmly, sensing that their objective had been achieved. Prolonging the confrontation could give Brenna an opportunity to turn the tables.

The trio departed, leaving Brenna simmering with indignation.

The ten-minute break between sessions vanished amidst the confrontation. Brenna realized, with growing frustration, that she hadn’t even found a moment to inform Ethan about what had just happened. Elsa had clearly orchestrated everything with precise timing and calculated strategy.

By the time Brenna finished her lectures, news of the incident had already spread widely on online platforms.

Ethan, just finishing a meeting, stared at his phone in disbelief at the drama his mother and brother had stirred up.

His fist slammed down on the desk in unrestrained anger. “I guess Kenny’s tired of being a pilot, daring to pull such a stunt!”

Neville stood before him and asked, “Mr. Mitchell, shall we release an official statement?”noveldrama

“Not yet. Fire Minna first,” Ethan said, reaching for his phone to contact Brenna.

She answered the call promptly. “That wasn’t you today, right?”

“I truly had no idea my mother would stoop to such underhanded tactics. Brenna, please accept my apology,” Ethan said.

Neville quickly stepped out, noticing the secretarial staff gathered near the doorway, watching Ethan closely. Rex stood by the door.

“Rex, did Minna report for work today?” Neville asked.

“No, she requested personal leave,” Rex replied immediately, sensing the brewing storm.

“Contact her at once and inform her she’s fired. She doesn’t need to come back tomorrow. Make sure the entire industry knows and that she’s permanently blacklisted.”

The secretaries, who had been eavesdropping, had already seen the news and privately marveled at Minna’s audacity.

But hearing Neville’s order, they all realized Minna’s career was finished. Did she truly believe Ethan was someone she could easily manipulate? Did she think his affection could be bought with scheming?
