The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 246 Visiting

Ethan's Parents

In the afternoon, Ethan settled into his seat across from Luther for a game of chess.

With each move, Luther's experienced hands guided a knight into position, showcasing decades of strategic

expertise. The game remained evenly matched, with neither the seasoned businessman nor the family patriarch

able to claim the upper hand.

"While we play, Ethan, reflect on your past with Rosie," Luther said, eyes fixed on the chessboard. "She might

be headstrong, but deep down, her intentions are pure."

Luther had arranged the chess match not just for the game, but to engage in private conversation with Ethan.

Ethan stiffened, unsure if Luther was trying to dig into his decision to not choose Rosie for marriage.

Understanding Luther's influential position in both the Harper family and the Harper Group, a company with its power extending throughout the country, Ethan chose his words carefully.

"Indeed, Rosie is like family to me," Ethan said, moving his queen forward. "She has always been like a sister to

me."

Luther's expression stiffened, and he noticed Ethan's careful attempt to dodge the true issue. He believed Ethan

clearly knew what he wanted to ask-Rosie had grown up with him, why didn't he want to marry her?

Luther couldn't grasp why Ethan would want to marry Brenna after only a few meetings, ignoring his years of

close friendship with Rosie.
