Chapter 466:
“Quite bold of you to say that,” Brenna replied, raising her eyes to meet Jade’s as she absentmindedly toyed with her meal. “Planning to be Ethan’s wife? Have you asked him about this? Or me p>
Ethan stood up, carefully pushed his chair back, and methodically removed his suit jacket, tossing it into a nearby bin.
He then took the seat next to Brenna, his eyes soft but resolute as they met hers. “I am yours. The decision about our marriage rests with you—there’s no need for my input or my parents p>
Greta felt a surge of envy at those words, her heart fluttering at Ethan’s unwavering commitment.
She recognized that the bond between Ethan and Brenna was not something easily broken.
Watching the suit fall into the trash, Jade’s expression hardened as a sudden realization struck her—Ethan was disgusted by her presence.
“Is this your way of insulting me?” she hissed. “Don’t forget, you’d be dead if it weren’t for my help in Norview p>
Ethan replied calmly, “By the time you arrived, your father’s men had already been defeated. They were never truly a threat p>
Jade let out a cold snort, her appetite gone as she stared at the untouched food.
She forced herself to calm down, reminding herself that no matter what, Ethan owed her a favor.
“Regardless, I helped you, and you owe me,” she said through clenched teeth. “That’s undeniable p>
Her eyes flicked to Brenna’s flawless complexion and elegant features.
Brenna looked like a princess from a fairy tale. No wonder Ethan had fallen for her.
Even Jade had to admit that Brenna was breathtaking.

However, she remained confident in her own unique charm, believing that sooner or later, Ethan would grow bored of Brenna.
“Miss Harper, are you really convinced that Ethan’s love for you will last forever?” Jade asked.
“He loves me now, and that’s all that matters,” Brenna answered. “He doesn’t even like you anymore p>
Brenna valued what was hers, though she believed she didn’t love Ethan. She was reserved and thought she probably wouldn’t fall for anyone. But she saw that Ethan was a great man. He had protected her with his own life when she was in danger.
Anyone who wanted what she had would need her permission first.
Brenna grasped Ethan’s hand firmly and said, “He belongs to me p>
Watching Brenna assert her claim, Greta realized her chances of winning Ethan’s heart were slim.
Beneath Brenna’s delicate exterior lay a strong, unyielding resolve. Greta knew she couldn’t compete with her.
Jade, with a hint of mockery, believed that men’s affections were unpredictable, swayed by changing loyalties and self-interest.
