The Mitchell family members regarded Brenna with open disdain and signaled the security guards to escort her

out.

The elderly man with graying hair turned to a younger one speaking on the phone. "Theo, get rid of that fraud. I don't want to see her loitering around here any longer," he said.

Theo Mitchell, still on the call, said to the phone smoothly, "If it's a matter of money, let's add another twenty million. That should be enough, right?"

After receiving confirmation from the other end, Theo ended the call and strode toward Brenna with the security guards flanking him. "Miss, you're not welcome here. If you don't leave now, we'll have no choice but to involve the police," he said coldly.

Brenna glanced around at the hostile faces surrounding her, then let out an indignant sigh. "Fine. It's easy to throw me out now, but don't expect me to come back so easily when you realize your mistake," she said.

Theo smirked. "And why would we ever want a fraud like you to come back? You're just another opportunist, scheming to cling to wealth and status. Trust me, no one here is interested in whatever game you're playing. Now, leave."
