Jayceon's anger erupted further, and he confronted Ethan. "Really? Brenna is new in your life. We have a whole childhood together. Why are you taking her side?" Ethan's expression chilled. "She's going to be my wife. I won't let anyone bully her-not even my family, and certainly not a friend." Brenna let out a loud laugh, her eyes shining with triumph as she looked at Jayceon.

Overwhelmed by his emotions but needing to appeal to Brenna, Jayceon softened his voice. "Miss Harper, please, I just need you to do one thing-stay out of my business with Ellie." "You wantto stay out of it?" Brenna's laughter was tinged with scorn. "Do you even understand what Ellie has been through because of you? You're nothing but a worthless playboy who has completely lost the right to be forgiven by her. You say you love her, yet you've never stopped messing with other women. Ask yourself, do you truly love her?" After a pause, she continued, "She pushed her family away for you. She was alone in Norview, giving birth to your child while you weren't there. You were probably spending twith other women at that time. She has been a single mother, juggling jobs, leaving her baby alone to cry while she worked. And you? Likely indulging in another romantic conquest. You don't love her; you only love yourself." Brenna's gaze was sharp. "You've created every crisis she has had to endure. Now, just as she has found speace, you show up to ruin it once more? What right do you have to be in her life again? She said tothat it was only Patrick's requests for his father that made her cback to the country. If it hadn't been for his pleas, she would have cut you off entirely." Jayceon flinched, his guilt clearly showing. "I know it's my fault. But I can change. Don't I deserve the chance to fix things?" Brenna let out a cold chuckle. "You want a chance? She already gave you one before, but you chere with another woman. You've lost any right to another chance." Brenna's words left Jayceon speechless against the unyielding truth.

With a disdainful glance thrown at Jayceon, Brenna redirected her focus to grilling skewers alongside Ethan. Announcing a brief departure, Brenna said to Ethan, "I'm off to the restroom." She handed him the sk grabbed her purse, and headed inside the yacht.

Viper watched her walk away for a moment before quietly slipping away to follow her.

Ethan noticed the Viper's movement and spoke quietly into a hidden microphone. "You've got company. Stay sharp." 201 18:16 Chapter 233 You're Nothing But A Worthless Playboy Once inside the yacht, Brenna quickly surveyed the luxurious bathroom and then ensured her privacy by locking the door with a decisive click.

She took a defensive stance, halting as she heard footsteps approach quietly from the outside. Her fingers brushed against the concealed weapons strapped to her thigh-a small pistol and a dagger.

She believed the locked door should have been enough to ensure her safety.

However, the sound of a key turning in the lock shattered that sense of security. Brenna's breath hitched. She hadn't expected anyone to have keys to the restroom. This was so creepy.

The door creaked open with cold precision as Viper stepped inside, closing and locking it behind him.

Brenna kept one hand hidden as she faced him. "I think you're lost," she said, her tone deadly calm. "This is the women's restroom." Viper's smile broadened. "There's no mistake here, sweetheart. I'm exactly where I need to be," he said confidently.

He smirked and looked her over slowly. His gaze was filled with dark intentions.

"Just curious why Mr. Mitchell is so obsessed with you," said Viper as he advanced slowly towards Brenna, eyeing her cautious stance.

Aware of her reputation for combat, he recalled that not even Jay's toughest men could defeat her. He knew she was not easy to deal with.

Yet, he was unfazed, confident in his superior gunmanship, quick and deadly.

Brenna remained motionless against the wall as she said casually, "So what?" Viper held his weapon out with confidence. "Drop the knife. A bullet moves faster than any blade. If you have any sense, take off your clothes." In response, Brenna revealed her concealed pistol.

"A gun?" Viper's voice wavered. He was clearly surprised.

"In the Harper family, it's normal to carry firearms," Brenna said coolly.

Suddenly, a knock sounded from outside, followed by Ethan's voice calling out, "Brenna, are you in there?"

"Yes, I am here!" Without hesitation, Brenna fired,ax Oper sm forehead Viper was caught off guard by her decisive action. His reaction was too slow, and the bullet was quicker.

Stunned, he collapsed backward, dead.

Ethan's panic was unmistakable as he pounded on the door, startled by the gunshot. "Brenna!" he shouted

"I'm fine," Brenna assured him, stepping past Viper's body to unlock the door. When Ethan stepped inside, he was confronted with the sight of Viper's lifeless body. Just then, security personnel came, their guns aimed at Brenna. 18:16 Chapter 233 You're Nothing But A Worthless Playboy Jade walked over, furious. "You killed him!"
