NovelFinishOnce His Wife, Now His Rival 224 Chapter 224 She Is Interested In You Brenna had no idea who sponsored today's outing. But from the exchanged glances and quiet smirks, it was clear she was the only one out of the loop. The realization settled like a weight in her chest.
Fay and Sabine swooped in to escort Isabella away. Fay said with a voice loud enough for everyone to hear, "Don't bother with her. We don't associate with her kind." All three made no effort to hide their hostility toward Brenna.
Ethan's face darkened, but he said nothing.
At this moment, Brenna turned to Ethan and asked, "Is there something you're not telling me?" Ethan held her gaze without flinching. "During my trip to Norview, things got complicated. The Hewitts stepped in to help. I owe them. And the Hewitt family's daughter... She is really hard to deal with." Though his words were vague, he trusted Brenna to catch the meaning behind them.
Brenna nodded understandingly. "She is interested in you." Ethan gave a faint smile as a confirmation. "Don't worry. I don't get chosen. I'm the one who chooses. No one can control me." Brenna's lips curled upward. "I've heard about the Hewitt family before. They're big players in Norview's underworld. But compared to you, they still fall short." As the yacht pushed into deeper waters, Sabine, Fay, and Isabella tossed bread to circling seagulls, having a great time.
Brenna and Ethan stood a short distance away, the sea breeze curling between them. The other men stayed sdistance away, giving them space.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSoon, a woman was here. She was wrapped in black leather, flanked by a dozen guards clutching rifles. The bodyguards stood tall in full tactical gear-helmets, dark visors, and masks that left not a single inch of skin visible.
Brenna studied the woman. She looked to be in her late twenties. The tight leather outfit clung to her curves Her crimson lips stood out starkly against her face. Her skirt was so short that it barely covered what it needed 1. to.
She moved with the confidence of someone who knew exactly what kind of attention they commanded. Without a word, she made a beeline for Ethan.
The others quickly walked over. Ernst shifted closer to Brenna, taking up guard.
18:15 11 III C < "Miss Hewitt," Denis said, eyes raking over her figure with blatant interest. "It's been a while." He nodded toward the armed entourage. "What are they for? Are you planning to take us all down here?" Jade Hewitt, taller than Brenna by a few inches, rested a manicured hand on Ethan's shoulder. Her eyes were filled with longing.
Ethan recoiled, his revulsion clear. His face was cold.
Jade's hand dropped, and she looked displeased. "Mr. Mitchell, is this how you show your gratitude? After everything I did to save you?" "I didn't need saving. I had the situation under control at that time," Ethan firmly said.
Jade's gaze shifted to Brenna, studying her. The rifles didn't seem to faze Brenna. Whether her composure was true or a well-practiced mask was uncertain.
"And who is this?" Jade asked sharply.
Ethan laced his fingers with Brenna's. "My fiancée. Brenna Harper." "A Harper?" Jade sneered. Her eyes flicked to Ernst, and she noticed the tension in his posture.
"She's my sister," Ernst confirmed.
Brenna met the woman's stare evenly. "Miss Hewitt."
Not a long distance away, Sabine, Fay, and Isabella watched the scene. They were a bit scared, but they were somewhat excited at the stime.
It seemed Jade disliked Brenna. Maybe she would get rid of Brenna on the spot.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey even expected a conflict between Jade and Brenna. If Jade managed to beat Brenna up, they would get their revenge.
The three of them exchanged knowing looks. Jade's hostility toward Brenna was impossible to miss.
After a brief exchange of glances, all three were smirking.
Sabine leaned in, whispering to Fay and Isabella, "Miss Hewitt is m powerful; she is from the Ward Gang, which is the biggest mafia gang in Norview. Brenna doesn't stand a chance against her." Fay and Isabella struggled to hide their grins. At last, there was someone strong enough to put Brenna in her place.
Seizing the moment, Isabella stepped forward and said, "Brenna, what's with the attitude? Do you really have to be so rude? You should show Miss Hewitt srespect."
Sabine also walked over and spoke o'm up. "Apologize to her right now, Brenna. Miss Hewit isn't like the rest of us you can't just treat her however you want. You have no idea what it'll cost you if you offend her." She wanted to say that Jade had her eyes on Ethan and that Brenna should step aside. However, she couldn't afford to offend Ethan, so she kept that part to herself.
Brenna almost admired the nerve it took for Sabine to mock her in front of Ernst. Why wasn't she afraid that Ernst would get mad at what she had just said? 18:15 < The Phantom Heiress: Rising From The
