The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 991:

Not until the soft click of the closing door echoed did Brenna emerge from her stall.

A second later, Lilith followed suit, and the two stood together to talk.

A mischievous sparkle danced in Lilith’s eyes as she whispered, “Brenna, when Gracie talked about ‘using him,’ who do you suppose she meant? Was it Ethan?”

That guess actually made sense, and a tiny smirk crept across Brenna’s face. She relished the idea. “Sounds about right. If he gets tricked by Gracie, that’s his problem. He had it coming.”

After a pause, she continued, “Still, the way Gracie spoke on that call… She sounded absolutely terrified of whoever was on the other end of the line. Maybe she was lying about using that person.”

Lilith gave a quick nod. “Yeah, I noticed. She called the person on the other end ‘darling.’ Was the person her boyfriend? Her husband? She definitely has a special relationship with that person. I’d love to know the whole story,” she whispered, inching toward the door to listen. Sensing there was no one outside, she stepped out.

Brenna followed, stopping to wash her hands and fix her makeup in the mirror. The mystery tugged at her, too. What would Ethan do if he figured out Gracie was deceiving him?
