The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 304:

Brenna lifted the bag she was carrying and said, “We just attended the auction.”

Giselle understood the unspoken rules of this place. People who came here preferred discretion, so she simply asked about Vincent’s health. “How is your grandfather?”

She had seen Vincent just days before, during his rehabilitation exercises.

Ethan’s eyes briefly flickered to the bags Brenna was carrying. He guessed the smaller bag on the left held something minor from the auction, possibly the emerald bracelet. The larger, sturdier bag on the right seemed to contain a plant—likely the Woodham—which Brenna could use for her medicinal concoctions, given her expertise.

After a quick glance at Brenna’s bags, Ethan responded politely to Giselle, “Thank you for asking, Mrs. Harper. My grandfather can now walk on his own, though he moves quite slowly.”

His gaze shifted to Brenna, thinking the Harpers might not know about Brenna’s role in Vincent’s treatment. Brenna had been visiting Vincent for treatment on her own. If Giselle had known, she surely would have mentioned it.

Giselle nodded toward the exit and suggested, “Let’s leave together.”
