The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 737:

“I figured that’s what this is about. My terms haven’t changed. I want fifty percent of what Denis will get, not a cent less. We have no deal.” Brenna shot a glance at Lorna after saying that.

Catching her cue, Lorna stepped forward. “Mr. Barton, I’ll have to ask you to leave now.”

Jordy stood up, his expression sour. “Really, Brenna? I’m your ex-boyfriend. You’re not even going to walk me out? And your asking price is too high. No one’s going to pay that. Be reasonable.”

“Get lost.”

A knock sounded just as the words left Brenna’s mouth.

Brenna glanced toward the doorway just as Ethan pushed the door open and stepped inside, his face cold. With one hand tucked casually into his pocket, he walked over and locked eyes with Jordy. “What are you doing here?”

Jordy stayed unfazed. In his mind, Ethan was with someone he’d already tossed aside.

“Mr. Mitchell, you can’t even marry Brenna, and yet you refuse to leave her. That’s just pathetic,” Jordy said, smirking.

Jordy pointed a finger in Brenna’s direction. “Let her go already. There are plenty of people who’d be happy to be with her.”

Ethan didn’t say a word; his fist did the talking. It slammed into Jordy’s face without warning.

Jordy stumbled, holding his cheek. “What the hell? Did I say anything wrong? Everyone has seen the footage of your mom publicly rejecting your relationship with Brenna. You’re engaged to someone else and still refusing to leave Brenna? How shameless!”

Ethan’s glare only hardened. “That is none of your business!” he snapped, then landed a swift kick on Jordy.

Barely managing to stay upright, Jordy noticed the killing intent in Ethan’s eyes and quickly turned to leave. “You can act arrogant all you want, but you won’t be able to marry Brenna. So stop wasting her time…”

Brenna didn’t even spare Jordy a glance. Her attention stayed on Ethan. “Did you take care of the matter?”

Ethan calmly nodded. “My parents won’t bother us again. No more interference.” Just as he finished speaking, his phone rang. He answered the call, and Kenny’s frantic voice burst through. “Fantastic. You actually made Mom pass out from rage!”

Ethan patiently endured Kenny’s tirade until he finally stopped. Then, he asked calmly, “Are you finished?” With that, he ended the call.

Watching Ethan’s unflustered expression, Brenna sensed he was in a good mood. Curiosity overcame her, and she asked, “What exactly happened with your parents? I’ve always had the impression your mother isn’t exactly easy to handle.”noveldrama

With a quiet chuckle, Ethan eased into the spot next to her on the sofa. “You might see her as irritating, but from my perspective, her antics are pretty normal. When I was young, we clashed constantly. Twenty years of experience has made me a pro at dealing with her. She’s obsessed with controlling every aspect of every family member’s life. My brother listens to every word she says without question, becoming nothing more than her puppet. Even when she made him pretend to be me to deceive you, he complied, despite it clashing badly with his principles.”
