Chapter 259:
Brenna and Thiago stepped out, both smirking at him.
Without a word, Ethan moved protectively in front of Brenna, shielding her in case the gang acted recklessly.
The gang members turned on Jay and fled, only to run straight into a wall of officers. Surrounded with nowhere to run, they dropped their weapons and surrendered.
Ethan turned to Brenna and said, “You shouldn’t be here. It’s too dangerous. No more of this. I’ll only worry p>
Brenna nodded and looked up at him. “Alright. I’ll listen to you.” She reached for his hand and slipped hers into his. Together, they headed to the police station. The night’s chaos required their cooperation with the investigation.
On the way, Ethan glanced at Thiago and warned him, “Don’t drag my fiancée into this kind of mess again. Next time, I won’t let it slide. I don’t care how close you are to her. I won’t go easy on you p>
“My affairs are none of your concern,” Thiago responded coldly.
Ethan said firmly, “I won’t say it again. You’d better remember that p>
Thiago met his gaze with a cold stare. “Mr. Mitchell, I won’t repeat myself, either p>
Brenna paid no attention to the tension between them. Her head remained down, eyes fixed on her phone.
Ellie was in trouble abroad and couldn’t return for the time being. Brenna was checking in on her, trying to understand the situation and offer whatever advice she could.
It was a complicated matter. Ellie’s work had been stolen, yet she was the one accused of plagiarism. The case had gone to court, and it seemed she would be stuck overseas for at least two months.

“Should we ask Jayceon to help? From what I know, the Russell family has power and influence in Norview. They might be able to assist you,” Brenna replied.
Brenna stared at the screen, waiting for Ellie’s response. When the message finally arrived, it was brief but heavy with emotion.
“Not now. I don’t want to see him. If my son hadn’t kept asking about his father, I would have erased him from my memory completely p>
Reading those words, Brenna fell into deep thought, wondering how she could support her friend through this difficult time.
So absorbed was she in her reflection that she didn’t notice Ethan’s shadow approaching, his eyes flicking to her screen with calculated intent.
Seizing the moment, Ethan discreetly took a photo of Brenna’s phone screen and forwarded it to Jayceon, his fingers trembling with barely contained excitement.
The revelation was staggering—Ellie had a child with Jayceon. From the conversation, he guessed the boy was about five years old.
