Chapter 573:
Adam scrutinized Brenna from head to toe.
“You have certainly changed your style since our last encounter p>
He chose not to delve into the specifics of that day, wary of stirring unwanted curiosity about Brenna. It sufficed for others to recognize her as his honored guest.
Years ago in Orwall, he had found himself in a relentless chase. Vicious blades had left their marks on him, and he had been cornered in a desolate alley with nowhere to escape. It was there that fate intervened, bringing him face to face with Brenna. Clad in sleek black leather and wielding a weapon with confidence, she was a sight to behold. She radiated raw power. With swift and precise movements, she killed several attackers.
Having witnessed Brenna’s fierce and decisive maneuvers, he had been certain she would end his life to keep him quiet. However, Brenna not only spared him but also took the time to tend to his wounds with remarkable care and gave him a life-saving pill.
Concerned about potential further attacks, Brenna had guided him to a safehouse and helped him reconnect with his people before taking her leave.
Had he not crossed paths with Brenna that fateful day, he would surely have met his end. Later, he had learned that it was his eldest son who had plotted the assassination.
Brenna chuckled softly. At that time, she had been pursued by the Ward family, and saving him had merely been a fortuitous decision. She hadn’t given a thought to his status back then.
The guests gathered today were all affluent and influential figures. Curiosity buzzed around Brenna, with many discreetly snapping photos of her and scouring the internet for information. They soon discovered that she was a young entrepreneur in finance and an engineer.
After exchanging pleasantries with Brenna, Adam turned his gaze to Ethan, whom he recognized. Everyone in the room knew Ethan as the world’s richest man.
“Mr. Mitchell, you are really lucky to be Miss Harper’s boyfriend,” Adam said.

Ethan still couldn’t grasp why the King of Plieca held Brenna in such high esteem. But this wasn’t the time to ask too many questions.
“You’re right. I am lucky to be her boyfriend,” Ethan replied with a lighthearted laugh.
Rosie seethed with discontent.
What made Brenna so fortunate as to be honored as a distinguished guest in Plieca?
She rushed forward to voice her thoughts.
“Your Majesty p>
But before she could elaborate, Maxley pulled her back. Turning to him, she met his stern gaze, filled with reproach and displeasure.
Rosie dared not defy Maxley and reluctantly fell silent, her eyes fixed on Brenna as she spoke to the King as if he were her friend.
It was infuriating. Rosie had arrived early, poised to be the future wife of Maxley, yet she hadn’t even met the King before today.
