The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 756:

Brenna nodded. “Oh, that’s what this is about.”

She reached into her bag, pulled out a stack of about twenty tickets, and handed them to Lorna. “My brother gave me these to share with whoever I want. Pass them out. If there aren’t enough, just distribute them based on performance at work.”

“That’s fair. Thank you, Brenna!” Lorna, a Dalton fan herself, looked at the tickets and saw they were prime front-row seats. She quietly kept one for herself before heading out.

Excited shouts echoed from the hallway when people learned about the tickets. At lunch, the staff headed to the cafeteria, but Brenna was still tied up with work.

Greta entered Brenna’s office. “Brenna, you haven’t gone to eat yet? If you wait too long, the best dishes will be gone. You can work after lunch.”

Brenna nodded but stayed put. “You guys go ahead. I’ll head over once I’m done here.”

Greta stepped closer, catching a faint, pleasant scent on Brenna, different from her usual fragrance. She suspected Ethan must have bought Brenna her new perfume.

“I’ll grab something for you then,” she said.

“Thanks.” Brenna kept her focus on her tasks.

Greta hesitated for a moment before saying, “Brenna, what perfume are you wearing? It smells amazing.”

Brenna pulled the perfume bottle from her bag, set it on the desk, and continued working.

Greta quickly snapped a photo of the perfume. “I’m off to eat now. I’ll bring food over soon.”

While riding the elevator, Greta, ignoring the people around her, scrolled through her phone, hunting for that specific perfume online. She was floored when she saw the price on the brand’s official site—a mere 150-milliliter bottle was priced at $199,000.

She had only been working for two months, earning just over $20,000 a month. With her previous savings, she didn’t need to ask her parents for money to buy the perfume.

What frustrated her the most was that this exorbitantly priced perfume was a limited-edition release, and the official website didn’t even offer a way to purchase it. Even if she could afford it, she couldn’t get one.

Luckily, she had an old classmate in Valport. She swiftly sent them a WhatsApp message, asking for assistance in buying the perfume.

That evening, Brenna arrived home late, past seven, after a long workday. The entire Harper family was gathered at home—a rare occurrence, as both Shepard and Ernst, usually busy, were free that night. They sat around the dining table, a few elegant invitation cards spread out before them. Dalton slid one toward Brenna.

“Check this out.”

The card, a deep blue with intricate gold embossing, featured a somber image of earthquake destruction.

Brenna gave it a quick glance. “A charity gala for fundraising? Are you all going?”

Dalton gave a small nod. “Absolutely. Doing charity comes with its rewards; you know that.”
