Chapter 815:

Ethan earlier had deeply upset Brenna with the way he conducted business. With his status, did he really need to lower himself to negotiate with people like Percy? Surely, he wasn’t in need of money. Couldn’t he just walk away from such business partners? What could possibly justify going to a place like that?

“I’m fine,” Brenna said. “I’m going to shower and get rid of these clothes.” Her words were clipped, her mood souring with every passing thought. Helping Ethan didn’t mean she wasn’t furious with him.
