The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 785:

Neville moved into the driver’s seat after Ethan had gotten in, turned the ignition, and began driving.

Brenna reached into her bag and pulled out a smaller box that held ten Soothing Pills, each sealed in its own individual container.

“The main ingredient in the Soothing Pill is incredibly rare. The last batch of Woodham that appeared at auction was used entirely for these pills, and even that batch wasn’t large. A lot of people tried to buy it, and whenever the Pierce family plans to sell, they always check with me first. Now, these ten pills are all that’s left, and they should be enough to support your grandfather’s complete recovery.”

Brenna passed the box to Ethan, who glanced at it briefly before placing it back in her hands. “You hang on to it. Later, you can give it to my grandfather yourself. He’ll like you more because of it.”

“I understand,” Brenna said, her voice a little uncertain. “But your parents already don’t seem to like me. What if your grandfather feels the same?” Doubt crept into her thoughts. If Emmett and Elsa had said anything negative about her to Vincent, Vincent might already be biased against her. Would he even care that she brought him medicine?

As someone with senior military status, Vincent might not be the type who placed much value on small gestures like these.

“You don’t need to worry about that. My grandfather isn’t anything like my parents. He’ll be glad to see you. You’re the one who cured his illness. He’s nearly back to his old self now, getting around on his own, thinking clearly, and living without help. He has called me more than once, asking when he’ll finally have the chance to thank you in person,” Ethan said.

That gave Brenna a little peace of mind. As long as Vincent didn’t dislike her, she was content. She had never expected to win over the entire Mitchell family; she just didn’t want to be disliked.

She had no plans to go out of her way to win anyone over. Keeping a respectful distance from the Mitchell family members was more than enough. The Mitchell family came from a long line of military service, steeped in tradition and pride. Only Emmett and Elsa seemed out of step with that legacy.

Brenna gave her outfit a quick once-over. She had chosen a beige long-sleeved dress—modest in shape, but graceful and appropriate for the occasion. “Does my outfit look alright? Should I wear something else?” she asked Ethan.

“It looks great. No need to change.”

After driving for over an hour, they finally arrived at their destination. It was past eleven, and most of the Mitchell family members had already gathered, waiting for Ethan’s arrival.

Vincent lived with his eldest son, Cason Mitchell. As a senior military officer, it made sense for him to reside in a distinguished house with polished surroundings and tight security.

Ethan didn’t ask Neville to honk. He and Brenna simply stepped out of the car quietly.
