Chapter 37:
Brenna paused briefly before replying, “I have an appointment to meet someone today p>
Giselle took note of Brenna’s outfit—an elegant deep blue ensemble, consisting of a sleeveless chiffon blouse and wide-legged trousers, paired with sleek black leather shoes. Her hair was swept into a neat bun, giving her an air of effortless sophistication.
“Aren’t we supposed to pick some clothes together? I arranged for them to be delivered soon,” Giselle said.
Brenna offered a polite smile. “You can handle it. I will need outfits for different occasions. I have something important to take care of now p>
Giselle gave a small nod, choosing not to press Brenna for details about her plans or the person she was meeting. Since Brenna had only recently come back, it seemed wiser to give her space rather than overstep.

“My friend’s already here to pick me up.” With that, Brenna gave a light wave and stepped outside. Coincidentally, Ernst had just finished his breakfast and followed her out after rinsing his mouth.

Initially, Ernst had suspected that Christopher was financially supporting Brenna in some way, but after Christopher’s explanation, it became clear that they were friends because they had studied together.
But hadn’t Brenna dropped out before even finishing grade school? How could she have possibly become friends with someone like Christopher?
The more he thought about it, the more perplexed he became. But ultimately, it didn’t matter to him. As far as he was concerned, Brenna was nothing more than an opportunist.
Inside the car, Christopher gave Brenna a quick update on Vincent’s condition. “Half a month ago, he suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. He survived, but the aftermath was severe—he has lost all sensation on his left side. The Mitchells initially hoped my grandfather could help since he’s well-known for treating hemiplegia.
