The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 736



Chapter 736:

“So you’re saying we should sever all family ties?” Ethan asked.

Jordy looked completely at home, stretched out on the leather sofa in Brenna’s office. “Not bad. You’ve really upgraded. What’s the deal? Mr. Mitchell even let you move your studio into his main building.”noveldrama

Brenna couldn’t stand his smug tone or the casual way he slouched. She didn’t even try to hide her irritation. “Cut to the chase. If you have something to say, say it now.”

Lorna entered with a cup of coffee, quietly placing it in front of Jordy before turning to stand to the side.

Jordy frowned, clearly displeased. “What’s she still doing here? Think I’m going to cause trouble for you?”

Lorna could already tell that Jordy was trouble, and there was no way she’d leave Brenna alone with him. She rolled her eyes at him but said nothing.

Brenna ignored Jordy’s words. “If you’ve come to talk business, then hurry up. I’m busy.”

Jordy gave a half-laugh, shrugging as if he had all the time in the world. “Let her stay if she wants. Doesn’t bother me. You’re my ex-girlfriend, and I figured we could have a real talk for once.”

That caught Lorna off guard. She blinked at Jordy, stunned by the fact that Brenna used to date him. After all, he was nothing compared to Ethan. Brenna stiffened, not expecting Jordy to mention that. Her annoyance showed instantly. “Will you get to the point or not?”

Jordy stretched his arms along the backrest like he owned the place. “I heard Mr. Mitchell’s mother isn’t your biggest fan. Sooner or later, he will break up with you. If you’re smart, you’ll walk away from him first. You and I can get back together, you know. My mom will like you.”

Brenna, still seated in her swivel chair, turned to face him, her gaze cool and sharp. “I thought you were interested in Isabella. Didn’t you mock me for not being a real daughter of the Barrett family before? Now that I’m a member of the Harper family, you want to crawl back to me? Give me a break.”

Jordy let out an awkward laugh. “Come on, Brenna, don’t be like that. I still have feelings for you. I’m only looking out for you. Think about it. Mr. Mitchell’s mother…”

“Already doesn’t accept you. Are you really going to stay by his side forever, unable to marry him?”

Brenna said, “Even if I leave Ethan, I can find someone way better than you easily. What makes you think that I would want to get back together with you?”

Lorna couldn’t help but speak up, finding Jordy’s arrogance amusing. “Brenna is smart, successful, and stunning. You honestly believe she’d settle for someone like you?”

Jordy’s face darkened, his pride clearly wounded. “And who asked for your opinion? You’re just a secretary. Know your place and keep your mouth shut. Get out.”

Completely unbothered, Lorna rolled her eyes again and didn’t move. “This isn’t your company. You don’t get to boss me around here.”

Brenna said to Jordy calmly, “I thought you came here for business. If you don’t talk about it now, you should leave. I don’t have time for this.”

Though clearly irritated by Lorna’s presence, Jordy pushed past it and got to the point. “I am here to talk about the deal Denis mentioned before. He bumped the price to fifty million now. You in or not? Just be direct, yes or no. If you’re out, we’ll find someone else. Plenty of people would want this chance, you know.”
