The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 655:

Patrick swept a slow, scornful gaze over Minna. Then, with a snort, he said, “She’s not even good-looking. How come she dares to throw herself at you?”

“You!” Minna snapped. Dropping the limp like an act she had forgotten, she spun on her heel and fled toward the stairwell, her cheeks burning with shame.

Halfway up, she sat down on a step, burying her face in her hands as sobs wracked her shoulders. When she stopped crying, she yanked out her phone and dialed Elsa. Between sniffles, she dramatically told Elsa what had happened.

At that moment, Elsa was in the middle of teaching a vocal performance class at the university.

“Ethan is out of line!” she snapped into the receiver, barely lowering her voice. “Don’t worry; I’ll make him apologize to you soon.”

In truth, Elsa thought Minna was a bit stupid. She couldn’t even handle such a small matter.

Minna perked up after being comforted. “Brenna transferred her entire studio into the Mitchell Group’s building. Now she’s going to be around Mr. Mitchell every day. You’ve got to do something to kick her out!”

Elsa hadn’t heard a word about this before, and the revelation made her angry. “That shameless woman,” she spat, her voice thick with emotion. “I will put her in her place!”

After ending the call, Brenna turned to Ethan and asked, “Ethan, did Jayceon get into a car crash?”noveldrama

Ethan froze for a moment, caught off guard. “Yeah, how did you hear about it?” He rubbed the back of his neck, surprised. “It happened two days ago. Jayceon said his brother caused it. He hit his head hard—has a brain bleed and needs urgent surgery to ease the pressure. Plus, he broke three ribs and both legs. He’s in rough shape, probably stuck in bed for months.”

Ethan had found out the night of the crash and raced to the hospital. But knowing Brenna and Jayceon weren’t on good terms, he had kept it from her.

Brenna gave a vague hum, her lips pursed. Good riddance, she thought bitterly. Jayceon had it coming.

She said, “His dad called me, practically begging me to sell some medicine for the Russell family. Said he would pay anything. He kept apologizing and sounded desperate.”

Ethan had heard that Jayceon was still unconscious and in urgent need of the latest cardiovascular medicine available in the country. Jayceon’s father had also pleaded with him to talk to Brenna about selling some pills, promising to pay any price if she would agree.

Ethan knew Brenna couldn’t stand the Russell family—not after they had humiliated her at Amy’s birthday party. That sting wasn’t something she would ever forget.

As her boyfriend, Ethan didn’t want to push her into anything she didn’t want to do. So, he hadn’t mentioned the matter to Brenna. Ethan had no intention of complicating things for Brenna. “If selling isn’t an option for you, just let it go. Dealing with the Russells is always a headache. I’ll figure out a way to get the medication from abroad for them if it comes to that.”
