The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 764:

Jordy’s face darkened. “How dare you say that?”

“Just go away!” Brenna snapped, not sparing him another word as she turned away, done with the conversation.

Jordy lingered, unwilling to leave. He still clung to the hope of persuading Brenna to end things with Ethan. He wanted Brenna to be with him because she was the daughter of the Harper family, one of the four powerful families in the city. If he became the son-in-law of the Harper family, his family business would benefit immensely.

He said, “Seriously? You’re chasing me off just for speaking the truth? Look at Mr. Mitchell—so many women are swarming him.”

“Get lost!” Brenna snapped, lifting her skirt just enough to deliver a sharp kick straight at Jordy.

That finally did the trick. Jordy backed off, sulking as he walked away.

Lilith watched him retreat and turned to Brenna with a comforting smile. “Ignore him. He’s just trying to get between you and Mr. Mitchell so he can be with you. That’s all that nonsense was about.”noveldrama

She could tell Jordy had once dated Brenna, but it was obvious Brenna no longer had any affection for him.

Brenna and Lilith made their way to the drinks table, each picking up a glass of wine before heading back to resume their meal.

Though Brenna didn’t have much appetite, she took small bites here and there to keep Lilith company. Lilith, however, showed no restraint, gleefully savoring the luxury pastries as if they’d vanish any second. She believed free treats of this caliber didn’t come around every day.

“Lilith?” Rosie had just handed the donation forms and check to the staff. As she roamed the hall, her eyes locked on someone who stood out in the elegant atmosphere. While the others nibbled politely, Lilith devoured her food with unbothered enthusiasm. “I was wondering who could be this laughable, eating like they hadn’t seen food in years. Of course, it’s you.”

Since Rosie had completely fallen out with the Harper family, she had no politeness left for them and spoke quite rudely.

Besides, Lilith was merely Ernst’s girlfriend, with a much less prestigious background, making Rosie look down on her even more.

Lilith had known Rosie for years, though their exchanges had always remained surface-level. But this was the first time Rosie spoke to her so harshly.

A sting of discomfort rose in Lilith’s chest, and she retorted, “Why do you care? Am I eating your food?”

Rosie let out a mocking laugh, her tone dripping with contempt. “Of course not. Go ahead and stuff your face. I just can’t stand looking at you. Honestly, I don’t know how the Harper family ever accepted someone like you to be Ernst’s girlfriend. How much money does your family even have? Five million?”

Lilith stiffened. Her mother worked in finance, her father held a stable job, and their combined savings definitely exceeded five million dollars. But their savings were nothing compared to the Harpers’. By society’s standards, she wasn’t exactly a perfect match for Ernst.
