Chapter 305:
Though Viper appeared gentlemanly, Brenna was well aware of his ruthless nature from previous encounters.
Viper looked at Brenna with disdain but was intrigued by her apparent lack of fear. He let his gaze linger on her for a moment before walking away.
As he entered his car, Viper instructed his bodyguard, “Find out more about that woman p>
The bodyguard nodded respectfully.
Brenna carefully removed the tiara and placed it back in its box. “Thank you,” she said to Ethan.
Still, she couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was watching her.
Ethan led Brenna outside, engaging her in light conversation and offering warm smiles.
Meanwhile, hidden in the shadows, Viper’s bodyguard took multiple photographs of Brenna from various angles.
Though Brenna was difficult to investigate, Giselle was not. Her details were quickly passed on to Viper.
“So, it’s her.” Valeria glanced over the documents on the table, her voice tinged with slight surprise and a trace of respect. “Brenna was the one who dealt with Jay. I never imagined her to be so beautiful. Who would have thought? Not only stunning but also skilled in fighting p>
Viper’s expression remained unreadable. “I have a feeling I’ve seen her before,” he said.
Valeria’s face darkened instantly. “You’re not developing an interest in her, are you p>
On Sunday, Brenna waited at the airport for Ellie’s arrival.
Her phone suddenly rang—it was Ethan. His deep, soothing voice filled her ear. “Are you free now? How about we grab lunch together? I can pick you up p>
Brenna noticed several unread messages from Ethan, all asking if she was available for lunch.
Smiling, she replied, “Sorry, I’m busy this afternoon p>
She chose not to explain further, remembering Ellie’s warning—she couldn’t let Ethan know Ellie was coming, as he might pass the information to Jayceon.

At the top floor of the Mitchell Group building, Ethan stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, phone in hand. Brenna’s refusal surprised him. It was Sunday, and she was rarely at her studio on that day. He wondered what could be occupying her.
Respecting her privacy, he didn’t press further but suggested, “How about dinner instead p>
Behind him, Neville quietly admired Brenna. To his knowledge, no one had ever refused Ethan before. He thought Brenna’s boldness was remarkable, or maybe she simply didn’t realize Ethan’s stature in the global business world.
Ethan was a titan of international business, renowned for his strategic skill in corporate management and investment. His business advice was highly sought after and could dramatically influence any person or enterprise.
Many longed just for the chance to have dinner with Ethan, but he was notoriously selective and usually declined such invitations.
Neville believed Ethan’s time was precious and that Brenna should feel honored he wanted to spend time with her.
Yet, Brenna had declined.
Neville grew concerned—she was the first person to ever refuse Ethan. He wondered if Ethan would be upset.
Neville watched Ethan’s back, his hands clenching into fists, worried that if Brenna also declined dinner, Ethan might indeed become angry.
