The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 261 Please Forgive My Careless Words Earlier

"Mom, please, let's not cause a commotion here." Ellie interrupted Tori's heated complaint and turned to apologize to the manager and the staff.

The manager, seeing the situation being diffused, left with the staff.

Ellie firmly guided Tori to a seat, her frustration noticeable. She was astonished that in the brief moment she had parked the car, Tori had created such a scene. She explained to Tori, "Brenna and Thiago have been my trusted friends for a long time. They would never do anything to hurt me."

Tori, still seething, touched her reddened cheek. “Ellie, after everything that's happened, how can you overlook this? Are you even aware of what they were doing just now?"

She pressed her fingertips together, exasperated. "I saw them earlier, closer than you could imagine. I even feel ashamed for them!"

Leif was about to step in when Hank held him back.

Spotting Thiago, Hank greeted him happily. "Thiago! Ellie had some free time today and brought us here for a meal. I didn't expect to see you here. What a coincidence!" he exclaimed.

Leif muttered under his breath, "Must you always address every guy close to Ellie like they're your best friend? Stop being such a sycophant."

His expression was one of disappointment as he watched Hank trying to flatter Thiago.

Tori, not yet done, continued her rant, "Appearances can be deceiving! That friend of yours, she's attractive, sure, but that's exactly why she's dangerous! She definitely seduced your boyfriend on purpose! Ellie, you need to cut ties with a manipulative individual like her!"

She still felt the sting of the earlier slap, and her eyes bore into Brenna with malice. “She is clearly the type who always seduces men using her good looks. I've encountered countless women like her before..."
