The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 264 Ethan's Doubt

That afternoon, Brenna was immersed in refining fighter jet blueprints at her studio when her phone buzzed with a string of notifications. She barely gave them a glance. Just another baseless rumor.

These things never lasted more than three days before slipping into obscurity. Why bother?

Meanwhile, Thiago had immediately recognized the photos. They were stolen shots of him and Ellie walking into their hotel room.

Phone in hand, he went to see Brenna, asking her about her opinion on the matter,

"Just ignore it," Brenna said without looking up.

There was an amused glint in her eyes. She had clearly recognized the figures in the photos. With a smirk, she remarked, "Your relationship with Ellie is moving fast."

Brenna's indifference to public opinion was as unshakable as ever. With this thought, Thiago sighed.

After a while, he said, "I'll explain everything to Mr. Mitchell myself."

He then placed a call to Ethan.

At Mitchell Group headquarters, Neville rushed into Ethan's office, a folder in hand, reporting to Ethan about
