The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 778:

Given Brenna’s wealth and status, couldn’t she secure a good match with any elite family? Why fixate on Ethan? Though Kenny looked identical to Ethan since he was his twin brother, their financial status was worlds apart.

Ethan was the wealthiest man in the world. But Kenny probably didn’t even have a million dollars.

Lately, as they searched for a home after their marriage, Minna noticed that Kenny couldn’t afford one, leaning on his parents for financial support. Kenny was a man of pride; even though he couldn’t afford to buy a house himself, he refused to ask Ethan for help.

Minna guessed that Ethan must have many properties.

The chasm between the twins was vast.

Minna actually wanted to marry Ethan more.

“Are you even aware that Mom’s ill? She was hospitalized last time for high blood pressure, and you didn’t bother showing up. All her years of love and effort, thrown away on you! Have you no heart?” Kenny snapped at Ethan.

Ethan’s face stayed cold. “Isn’t she in your care? Mom has paved the way for your every success since we were kids. Isn’t it your job to look after her? She never liked me. If I visited her, she would only resent me more. Besides, I’m too busy. Where would I find time for such caregiving?”

“How can you be so cold?” Kenny’s fists tightened. “You always made Mom angry when you were young, and you’re still so stubborn now. Her health’s failing. Can’t you show some concern for her? Are you trying to drive her to her—”

Elsa moved to speak, but Minna gently held her back. “The doctor warned that your blood pressure has only just stabilized. Getting worked up could cause a stroke.”

Minna’s gaze darkened as she glanced at Ethan, subtly hinting at Elsa’s fragile state, hoping he would soften toward his mother.

Ethan met Elsa’s eyes. “Haven’t you already recovered? If you need better care, I can contact a top hospital abroad. I know a doctor who is highly skilled in treating hypertension.”

“Save your hollow concern. I’d rather die than be indebted to you!” Elsa snapped.

Elsa’s chest rose and fell sharply, her breathing uneven as her eyes filled with unshed tears. A breakdown felt dangerously close. The son she had cherished since childhood, the one she had poured all her hopes into, was now treating her like a stranger because of a woman. How could Ethan turn his back on her so completely? It felt like every year she had spent raising him had been pointless. She had protected him, worried for him, and fought to clear his path, just so he could succeed. And this was the thanks she got?

It wasn’t just that he refused to listen to her; he even sided with an outsider to go against her. Ethan had always been hard-headed, a son who challenged her constantly. For years, she had lived with the fear that he might make a wrong turn. She had stayed close and guided him constantly. Yet now, their mother-son relationship had deteriorated to the point of open hostility.
