Chapter 780
780:
Ethan’s voice came out steady. “I’ve built a company worth billions. Do you seriously believe their connections were the key to that? I’ve used my wealth to open doors for them, too. Do you think their recent promotions just happened by chance?”
Kenny’s brow tightened, his doubt written all over his face. “I don’t buy that. With Dad, Mom, Grandpa, and all our uncles in the military, our family already has much power there. You think our parents need your help? Stop trying to take credit for everything.”
The Mitchell family might not hold the kind of wealth Ethan had gathered, but their influence in the military was impossible to deny.
Elsa’s skin had turned ghostly pale as she leaned more heavily against Minna. Her eyes remained shut, and the pain pulsing through her body made her feel really bad.
“Are you alright?” Minna asked, her voice laced with concern. Elsa’s full weight pressed against her, and it quickly became clear that something was wrong. Kenny spun around to check on his mother and was startled by her pale face. “Mom! Mom!”
Panic hit him hard. Just a few minutes ago, she had been perfectly fine. But after exchanging only a handful of words with Ethan, she was in a poor state. He shot Ethan a furious glare and snapped, “Every single time Mom sees you, something bad happens!”
Once he had let his anger out, Kenny bent down, lifted Elsa onto his back, and rushed back to the hospital building.
Ethan didn’t follow. His face remained cold as he watched them disappear into the crowd. Without saying a word, he turned and walked in the opposite direction.
While they made their way to the emergency room, Minna couldn’t help but say, “I swear, Brenna brings nothing but bad luck. Everywhere she goes, there’s drama. We can’t let Ethan marry her; someone like her shouldn’t become part of the family.”
Kenny wasn’t fond of Minna, and he knew she had a thing for Ethan. The only reason he tolerated her presence was that he didn’t want to cause more trouble. Her comment didn’t sit well with him. “Whatever’s going on with Ethan isn’t our business,” he said.

Minna didn’t like his response. “You’re his brother. Don’t you think you should step in? He’s always so stubborn, and now, look at this mess with the family. Why don’t you try talking some sense into him? Honestly, I have no idea how someone with a temper like his managed to build a business empire.”
Kenny’s patience wore thin. He was almost certain Minna was using the situation as an excuse to stay involved with Ethan. “This is a family matter. Stay out of it,” he replied bluntly.
“You can tell just by looking at Elsa; she is mean.” In the car, Ellie vented her frustration about Elsa. “She might be a famous artist, but I’ve disliked her since childhood. She clings to the pettiest grievances and lashes out with that sharp tongue of hers. She is also very unreasonable.”
