The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 311:

Shepard snorted, his expression showing disapproval, though he was not surprised by the revelation. “None of the Russell sons is easy to handle. Mrs. Russell is practically losing her mind dealing with them. Both of her sons inherited the family’s good looks, but neither is willing to settle down and get married. If my sons ever acted like that, I’d give them a good beating.”

Giselle frowned and scolded her husband, “Would you bring this up in front of Brenna?”

She then turned to Brenna. “You should get some rest. You have a lecture at headquarters tomorrow.”

Brenna nodded and said, “Don’t tell the Russell family about the child.”

Giselle assured her, “I won’t say a word, but I can’t promise the same for your father. He’s been close to Mr. Russell for many years.”

Brenna looked at Shepard, hoping for reassurance. If they weren’t her parents, she might have kept this from them.

Shepard also reassured Brenna, saying, “I won’t say a thing. The Russell family’s situation is complicated enough. If I tell them this, it’ll only make things worse. They’re already in enough chaos as it is.”
