The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 318:

She quickly said, “Ethan, you need to hear this. Brenna has a son about six years old. She brought him to her lecture at the Harper Group today. Everyone saw him call her ‘Mommy,’ and they acted very close. Ethan, Brenna has been deceiving you all this time. You can’t trust her.”

Ethan stayed calm and steady behind the wheel as he spoke to Rosie. “That’s not possible. Brenna wouldn’t do something like that. Do you have any real evidence?”

Rosie sensed Ethan’s skepticism and continued, “I’m no longer at the Harper Group, but I still have contacts there. They saw Brenna with the boy in the lobby, and he called her ‘Mommy.’ That’s proof enough.”

Even with the so-called evidence Rosie provided, Ethan still couldn’t shake the feeling that she might be the one pulling the strings behind the matter.

He responded coldly, “I should ask Brenna about this directly. This isn’t something to take lightly.”

Rosie, buoyed by what she interpreted as a shift in Ethan’s stance, said, “Think about it, Ethan. If that boy isn’t her son, why would he publicly call her ‘Mommy’? If she wasn’t his mother, why would she allow him to call her that? It’s clear—that boy is her son. He looks about six, which means she had him before she was eighteen. She doesn’t deserve to be in the Harper family. I’ll speak to my grandfather about having her kicked out of the family.”
