Chapter 633
Chapter 633:
“You make Minna your secretary, and I’ll leave.” Elsa settled back onto the sofa triumphantly, thinking she had already won.
“Not a chance,” Ethan said without the slightest hesitation.
Across the room, Brenna took a seat in front of Ethan’s desk. She crossed her legs and leaned back with an amused expression, watching the scene unfold.
Even Elsa, in her stubbornness, had to grudgingly admire Brenna’s mental fortitude. Most women would have panicked if their future mother-in-law barged in with another woman in tow. But Brenna remained perfectly composed.
Unfortunately for Brenna, Elsa didn’t like someone like her.
Just then, Elsa clutched her head dramatically and let out a pitiful cry. “Oh dear! I’m dizzy! I feel like the world’s spinning p>
With a theatrical groan, she collapsed onto the sofa. Her face even contorted in exaggerated agony, as if she were suffering a stroke.
Everyone looked shaken, but none more so than Ethan. His face turned pale as guilt crashed into him like a wave. He hurried over and dropped to his knees beside the sofa. “Mom! Mom p>
Even Minna began to panic. “See what you’ve done? Would it have killed you to just let me work here? Why couldn’t you just listen to your mom p>
Both of them pulled out their phones at the same time and prepared to call an ambulance.
Brenna, who had remained silent until now, finally stepped forward and studied Elsa’s face. She was a doctor and could see that Elsa was actually fine.
She said, “Wait. Don’t call an ambulance yet. Let me examine her first p>
“Right.” Ethan snapped out of his panic. He almost forgot that Brenna had medical training. She wasn’t just knowledgeable; she was skilled. With this thought, he quickly stepped aside to make room for her.
Elsa kept moaning in pain from the couch, one hand pressed dramatically to her head. She suddenly remembered something. Brenna had once treated Ethan’s grandfather and saved his life. But she had already started putting on an act of pain, and there was no turning back now.

Determined to carry it through, she wailed louder.
Brenna calmly took a seat at the coffee table and reached out to check on Elsa. Afraid of being found faking illness, Elsa avoided her touch and exclaimed, “She’s trying to kill me! I won’t let her touch me! Make her leave, Ethan! Do you want me dead? Is that it p>
As Elsa refused to cooperate, Brenna had no choice but to give up. She straightened and looked over at Ethan. “Call the ambulance. But honestly, I think she is fine p>
That remark only infuriated Elsa further. Her cries grew louder, and her voice shook with exaggerated emotion. Neither Ethan nor Minna understood medicine, so panic started to creep in.
Worried that his mother might actually be sick, Ethan grabbed his phone and dialed for an ambulance.
Just as Ethan finished dialing, Elsa suddenly seemed much better. She had never intended to go to the hospital. This was all just to pressure Ethan into compliance.
