The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 253 Greta's New

Plan

Brenna went back home, her mind a million miles away, a veritable fog of thoughts obscuring her usual sharp focus. Giselle, with the keen eye of a seasoned observer, noted Brenna's distracted demeanor and inquired,

"What's weighing on your mind?"

"Mom, Ellie's parents showed up today, demanding she buy houses for her brother's wedding and for them. How could her parents do that to her?” Brenna said.

Giselle let out a sigh and responded, "The world's full of parents who mistreat their children. I know Ellie is your close friend, but this tempest is hers to weather. You shouldn't interfere much."

"I'm not interfering; I'm just furious for Ellie!" Brenna exclaimed. "Her parents abandoned her during her hardest years, and now that she's finally successful, they come back to her for money?" Her fists clenched. "What kind of parents treat their own child like that?"

The injustice gnawed at Brenna for the rest of the afternoon until Giselle finally managed to comfort her.

"Do you remember Danika?" Giselle asked, changing the topic.

Brenna nodded. "I remember her. She is an engineer at the National Research Institute. She is highly accomplished and about to retire."

Giselle said, "The National Research Institute has a joint project with Shirie University on advanced automotive technology. After seeing your lecture at the Harper Group, Danika believes you're the only one who can properly explain the new torque calibration system. She wants you to go to the National Research Institute and give a few lectures. You will be paid a thousand dollars per lecture. And if you're interested, Shirie University will even make you an honorary professor."

Brenna let out a soft chuckle. "I am not worthy of being an honorary professor. But I'll do the lectures; I could use some of their top graduates at my studio anyway. Orders have been piling up lately."
