The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 686:

As soon as Jordy left, Isabella turned to Denis and complained, “What now? Brenna wouldn’t even budge for thirteen million. That’s already a generous offer. Sure, she is the daughter of the Harper family and Ethan’s girlfriend. But so what? She thinks she’s too good for thirteen million? How dare she ask for so much more? She is too greedy!”

Denis glanced at her, a flicker of satisfaction crossing his face. Isabella was always in his corner, always thinking from his side. That loyalty meant more to him than he liked to admit.

He said, “Didn’t your mother raise her? Maybe she could talk some sense into Brenna. She might soften if it comes from your mother.”

When my family had nowhere to turn, we went to Brenna’s place and begged for help, but she slammed the door in our faces. Brenna is heartless. She would never listen to my mom.”

Denis’s mood soured. The deal was slipping through his fingers, but he refused to lose half the profit to secure it.
