The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 726:

Alani was on high alert when two male secretaries approached. They interacted with Ethan the most, and although Kenny looked strikingly similar to Ethan, his hairstyle and walking posture were different. Most importantly, his aura and demeanor were not the same as Ethan’s.

“State your name. Why are you pretending to be Mr. Mitchell?” one of the secretaries demanded, blocking Kenny’s path. One of them called security, while the other dialed Ethan.

“Where’s Ethan?” Kenny barely glanced at them. He knew that if it came to force, neither of them could stand up to him. He pushed them aside and surveyed the office, checking every potential hiding spot—the lounge, the washroom—no sign of Ethan.noveldrama

“Where is Ethan?” he repeated, his tone sharp.

“I’m here,” came Ethan’s voice as he stepped off the elevator. Brenna arrived at the same moment, having taken a different elevator. Ethan’s private elevator, designed for speed, had gotten him there first.

Without hesitation, Kenny stormed toward them, glaring at Brenna as though he wanted to tear her apart. Brenna met his gaze and noticed that he wasn’t wearing his engagement ring anymore. A question burned in her mind. Why was he here? Did he really think he had a right to be angry after impersonating Ethan and causing him trouble?

Just when Brenna thought Kenny was here to confront Ethan, he moved closer to her. His voice was sharp with accusation. “Was it you?”

Brenna stood still, confused about what Kenny was accusing her of. His scowl might have rattled someone else, but not her. She had faced worse and hadn’t flinched under pressure before. With a calm voice and a cool stare, she asked, “What exactly are you accusing me of?”

Ethan placed a hand on her arm and stepped in front of her. His expression was cold when he spoke to Kenny. “You’ve got a lot of guts, barging in here like this. Who said you could interrogate my girlfriend?”

Kenny scoffed under his breath and pulled a crisp document from his inner pocket. With a sharp flick of his wrist, he unfolded it, revealing a bold red heading and the unmistakable mark of the military.

Brenna narrowed her eyes and scanned the document. It didn’t take long for her to recognize what it was—a disciplinary order straight from military headquarters, declaring Kenny’s expulsion. Brenna let out a short laugh. “Serves you right.”

Kenny said coldly, “Was it you who reported me?”

Brenna had always had a bad impression of him and had been looking for a chance to confront him. “After what you pulled yesterday? You brought this on yourself.”

Kenny took a step forward, his eyes blazing with fury.

Without a second thought, Ethan moved to intercept Kenny, while Neville quickly stepped forward to protect Brenna as well.

Kenny didn’t back down. He grabbed Ethan by the collar and hissed, “She’s a problem. Just to get close to you, she ruined my career.” Ethan pushed him away. “I’m the one who reported you.”

Kenny staggered back, stunned. “You’re lying. We’re brothers. We might fight, but you wouldn’t go that far. Don’t cover for her. I’m not letting her off easily for this.”
