Chapter 25 All Of You Have

Been Deceived

Brenna forcefully pulled away from the Barrett couple, her expression cold and unyielding as she said, "I have no ties to the Barrett family anymore. Stay out of my affairs. Leave now, unless you want to be the reason Mr. Mitchell's treatment is delayed."

Despite the anger simmering inside her, she refrained from exposing the Barretts' true nature-for the sake of the years they had raised her and out of respect for her adoptive grandmother.

Emmett leaned toward Ethan, lowering his voice. "Where did you even find this woman? She is a fraud!'

Ethan was still processing the shock of the revelation. He hadn't recognized Brenna earlier. He was surprised that she possessed such exceptional medical skills.

He said to his father earnestly, "Dad, she's no fraud. The Pierce family wouldn't make such an obvious mistake. Christopher is Mr. Pierce's grandson, isn't he? He would never bring in a fraud."
