Chapter 398:
Sabine shouted defiantly, “Are you saying the women around you aren’t after your money? And I don’t believe Brenna is as remarkable as everyone thinks. How could someone from such an ordinary background graduate with a master’s degree at eighteen? Who would buy that? She’s just an ordinary person pushed forward by the Harper Group’s resources. Don’t be so easily fooled p>
Before she could say anything more, the security guards swiftly covered her mouth.
Just then, two military vehicles pulled up at the entrance of the Harper family estate, instantly capturing everyone’s attention.
Braeden stepped out of one of them and walked toward Brenna with confident strides, holding a beautifully wrapped gift box in his hands.
“How could you throw a birthday party and not invite me? Have you forgotten about me, Miss Harper?” he said.
Everyone looked at him, his crisp military uniform exuding an undeniable air of authority that commanded respect from those around him.
Genuinely surprised, Brenna put away her playful smile and greeted Braeden with respect. She then said, “I didn’t expect you to come p>
She offered a slight smile and added, “It’s just a small birthday party. I didn’t want to bother you p>
Braeden chuckled, not questioning Brenna, and handed the gift he had brought to a servant who approached. He shook Brenna’s hand politely, almost with a hint of reverence.
The Harper family was taken aback by Braeden’s high military status, clearly reflected in his uniform. Shepard, Ernst, and Ethan made their way over, and everyone turned to Brenna, waiting for her to introduce Braeden.
Brenna said, “This is Mr. Braeden Foster from the Weapons Research Institute p>

Utterly amazed, Greta and Lilith stood side by side, munching on barbecue skewers as they watched Braeden mingle with Brenna.

Lilith’s eyes lit up. “Who would’ve thought? Brenna’s circle includes military officials p>
Greta, far more serious than the cheerful Lilith, nodded thoughtfully. “I can see why Mr. Mitchell is interested in her. Her connections are extensive. Did you hear what she said, something about the Weapons? What kind of collaboration does Brenna have with the military p>
Shaking her head, Lilith murmured, “Sounds top secret, doesn’t it p>
The Harper family’s servants presented Braeden with an array of extravagant dishes. Shepard, Ernst, and Dalton were all shocked that Brenna was working with the military. Was Brenna possibly involved in developing cutting-edge weaponry at the Weapons Research Institute?
As Braeden savored the feast, he engaged warmly with the Harper family members.
“Your daughter’s accomplishments must fill you with pride. The military holds that kind of skill in high regard,” he said to Shepard.
Shepard, puzzled yet curious, asked, “Can you share what my daughter is working on with you p>
