Chapter 993:
Rosie introduced Judy to Brenna, saying, “I wanted to introduce you to a friend. This is Judy. She’s getting married to Denis next week p>
Judy extended her hand toward Brenna. “Miss Harper, it’s lovely to meet you. You’re absolutely stunning p>
“Thank you p>
Inwardly, Brenna held little fondness for Judy. She had heard rumors that Judy was violent and unreasonable. She was not a good person.
Judy had many flaws, but she wasn’t stupid. In fact, she was very perceptive. She immediately sensed Brenna’s dislike for her. “Miss Harper, am I not welcome here p>
Leveling Judy with a steady look, Brenna answered coolly, “I am not the one hosting this event. Whether you feel welcome isn’t my concern p>
Judy caught the implication right away—Brenna indeed disliked her.
Standing close by, Lilith grew uneasy. She gave Brenna’s dress a subtle tug, sensing the danger in pushing Judy’s buttons.
“Are you upset about Ethan dumping you? Is that why you’re coming at me like this?” Judy’s voice boomed. She was visibly angry.
A short distance away, Tina watched the scene with delight. She sauntered over and added fuel to the fire, her tone dripping with sarcasm. “You’ve got it all wrong. She just dislikes you because you’re fat. She even called you a pig when you weren’t around. I was right there when she said it p>
Both Brenna and Lilith turned to her. Lilith’s voice trembled with anger. “That’s a lie! Brenna never said anything like that p>
Brenna’s gaze was icy. She knew exactly what Tina was trying to do; she was stirring up trouble for her on purpose.
Tina looked at Judy with seriousness. “Ms. Mendoza, she really said that. I heard it with my own ears. She also said that even though Ethan dumped her, there are still plenty of people who adore her, unlike you, who has to desperately chase after men p>
Seeing Judy’s fury rise by the second, Tina quietly slipped away.
“Tell me, is that true?” Judy asked Brenna, her eyes blazing with anger.

While Tina basked in her own satisfaction, believing she had riled Judy and that Brenna was about to face Judy’s wrath, her triumphant grin hadn’t even faded when someone seized her arm in a firm hold. The sudden grip sent jolts of pain racing up her arm, making her believe her bones might actually snap. A shriek escaped her lips before she could stop it.
Swinging her head around, she stared in disbelief—Brenna was the one holding her.
Shock drained all color from Tina’s face, yet fury quickly replaced any fear. Her glare cut straight to Brenna. She was stunned that someone as thin as Brenna could have such strength. “Let go. That hurts a lot p>
“You really thought you could lie and get away with it? Do you think you can just mess with me easily?” Brenna’s stare stayed locked on Tina, not the slightest sign of fear showing on her face.
The scuffle quickly attracted a crowd.
Ernst caught the commotion from across the room. At first, worry creased his brow, certain his sister was being bullied. When he realized Brenna was standing her ground, his worry faded.
