The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 763:

“There is no need to thank me,” Brenna responded calmly.

Brenna and Lilith chatted casually while sampling slices of cake. Lilith spoke freely, unafraid to express herself. She figured that if she was going to marry Ernst one day, getting along with Brenna was inevitable. And truthfully, she liked her. Brenna came across as genuine, a refreshing contrast to the fake women Lilith had encountered in the circle.

“These people don’t even know who I am,” Lilith said, her voice laced with irritation. “When they asked about my family, I told them the truth. And just like that, they straight-up said I wasn’t good enough for your brother. Can you believe that? I am so angry!”

“Don’t waste your energy on them. They are just jealous,” Brenna said without missing a beat, offering her comfort.

“I think you’re right. I might not come from a family like theirs, and maybe I’m not as pretty, but I am dating Ernst. They are just envious.” Lilith was smart and had no interest in pleasing people she didn’t care about. “I already told your brother that if we do get married, I won’t be attending any of these social events. I have no desire to…”

“Mix with those rich wives and daughters. They’re all so fake, wearing masks every day. It’s too exhausting.”

“Brenna.”

Before Brenna could reply, their conversation was abruptly cut off as a man slipped between them. Brenna turned and saw Jordy.

She shot Jordy a sideways glance, her tone sharp. “Don’t talk to me. Go away.”

Jordy let out a light laugh. “Do you really have to be this cold to me? We dated once, after all. Can’t we just have a quick chat? Why are you being like this? Don’t tell me you still have feelings for me?”

Brenna rolled her eyes. “Not even close. Whatever was between us is over. I have nothing left to say to you. So, what on earth do you want?”

Jordy nodded subtly toward Ethan. “Take a look over there.”

Brenna followed his line of sight and saw Tina hovering close to Ethan, her smile sugary as she leaned in, intentionally brushing her chest against him. Ethan took a step back to put some distance between them, his expression cold.

With a voice full of mockery, Jordy said, “Ethan is quite a catch, right? How many women here do you think are dying to have him and resent you for being his girlfriend?”

Although Brenna found Jordy increasingly intolerable, she had to admit he wasn’t wrong. Within minutes, a small crowd of women had gathered around Ethan—some with sweet, innocent charm, others exuding high-society glamour. A growing cluster of beauties surrounded Ethan, while Tina was shoved aside, her face tight with fury.

Jordy let out a low, smug chuckle, his tone laced with ridicule. “Told you I was right, didn’t I? With that many women swarming around Mr. Mitchell, if I were in his shoes, I’d have slept with many by now. Honestly, sticking with him isn’t smart. You’d be better off with someone like me.”

Brenna felt disgusted and looked Jordy up and down with disdain. “You think you’re worthy of being compared to Ethan? Don’t be ridiculous.”

Lilith broke into laughter beside them. Brenna might carry herself like a refined lady, but when she spoke, her bluntness was evident.
