The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 554:

After the men left, Brenna sat down at the desk in her suite. She pulled out her notes and refined her speech, checking for any last-minute improvements. Once satisfied, she logged into the forum’s internal network to browse the list of notable attendees.

Later that evening, after Brenna and her team returned from dinner, Thiago spotted a small convenience store across the street. He nodded toward it and said, “Let’s grab some essentials.”

The store beneath the hotel was built with a specific crowd in mind. It catered to the wealthy guests who stayed in the surrounding luxury hotels and was packed with premium goods.

“Sure,” said Brenna with a nod. The four of them stepped inside together. A handful of other customers milled around the aisles, most of them foreigners. They had the look of travelers in town for the forum.

As Brenna’s group entered, the two clerks behind the counter greeted them warmly in the local language.

Brenna’s eyes swept over the space. The store was spacious, maybe a hundred square meters, with neat rows of bottled water, imported snacks, travel-sized toiletries, and everything else a traveler might forget to pack. Security cameras sat tucked in each corner, their tiny lenses gleaming under the lights.

At the thought of this, Brenna tugged the brim of her cap lower, shielding more of her face from the cameras. Brenna and her team moved through the aisles, each grabbing what they needed. Thiago loaded two large packs of bottled water
