Chapter 230
Chapter 230:
Ethan said, “Brenna, I’m not here to dictate who you have dinner with, but don’t break up with me over something so trivial.” His eyes met hers, but she seemed distant, almost as if she couldn’t care less.
He then reached out, trying to pull her closer. “Let’s go. Come back with me,” he said.
Brenna shook him off firmly. “I already told you, we are done. Stop bothering me,” she said.
Seeing this, Thiago stepped forward, positioning himself between Brenna and Ethan to protect her. “Mr. Mitchell, please stop bothering Brenna,” he said coldly.
Practically glowing with excitement, Rosie seized the opportunity to fan the flames. “Ethan, did you see that? This man is so protective of Brenna. Their relationship must be something special!” she said.
She raised an eyebrow arrogantly and asked Brenna, “Tell us the truth. What’s really going on between you two? Ethan clearly doesn’t agree with the breakup, yet you’re already involved with another man. Don’t you feel ashamed p>
Ethan’s curiosity about Brenna and Thiago’s relationship was undeniable, but he kept it to himself. Instead, he resolved to have someone look into it.
He stood there, his cold gaze locked onto Thiago, waiting for Brenna’s response. “Step aside. I’m speaking to my fiancée. This has nothing to do with you p>
Rosie knew Ethan better than anyone since they had grown up together. She knew he rarely expressed what he wanted outright or asked direct questions. For him to say something like that meant he had reached his limit.
She turned to Brenna and pressed harder. “Didn’t you hear him? What’s really going on between you two? Have you done something to hurt Ethan p>

Rosie’s arrogance was overwhelming, and Brenna couldn’t take it anymore.
“Shut up!” Brenna snapped coldly, raising her hand and delivering a hard slap across Rosie’s face. This time, the blow was fiercer, sending Rosie reeling as blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
“You hit me again? Are you nervous? Is that why you hit me again?” Rosie shrieked, pointing a trembling finger at Brenna. “Have you two already slept together? Tell us the truth p>
Thiago stepped forward, fury burning in his eyes as he faced Rosie. “Watch your mouth. Brenna and I are just colleagues, nothing more. We were simply discussing business over dinner. It’s not what you’re implying,” he said.
His temper flared as he pieced together who Rosie really was. She was probably after Ethan, which explained why she was going to such lengths to cause trouble for Brenna.
Rosie let out a mocking snort. “Just colleagues? That’s ridiculous. Brenna doesn’t even have a real job. She doesn’t have any colleagues!” She narrowed her eyes at Brenna and demanded, “Tell me, which company do you work for? What’s your position? How long have you been there p>
Brenna pressed her lips into a tight line, refusing to reveal her multiple identities to someone like Rosie.
