Chapter 656
656:
Brenna’s heart warmed at how thoughtful Ethan was; he always took her feelings into account.
She said, “It’s alright. I’ll sell the medicine. It doesn’t matter who buys the medicine from me. But if they want it, they’ll need to pay a lot. I’ll get in touch with Christopher from the Pierce family to arrange delivery.”
Overhearing the conversation, Patrick finally pieced things together and asked with worry, “Was my Dad in a car accident?”
Despite his mother’s dislike for Jayceon, Patrick believed Jayceon had always been kind to him, spending time with him and even purchasing an entire apartment just for his toys.
“Yes. Do you want to visit him?” Brenna said softly, nodding.
“I do,” Patrick answered, wanting to rush to Jayceon’s side immediately. Turning to Ethan, he asked, “Is my dad hurt badly?”
Ethan hesitated, unwilling to burden Patrick with the full truth.
Jayceon remained unconscious after surgery to relieve brain hemorrhaging, still in critical condition. Otherwise, Jayceon’s father wouldn’t have been so desperate, pleading with Brenna over the phone and offering apologies.
“Thank you, Brenna,” Ethan said earnestly, appreciating her willingness to help, not making things harder for him. “I’ll take Patrick to see him now. The medicine’s coming from the Pierce family, correct?”
Brenna realized why Ellie hadn’t been able to contact Jayceon recently. Though she wasn’t fond of Jayceon, he was Patrick’s father and someone Ellie had once loved. Brenna couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.
She responded calmly, “Yes, Christopher’s at Shirie Hospital. Go ahead; I’ve got things covered here. Joe and Tommy will arrive soon to lend a hand.”
“All right, we’ll leave now,” Ethan said, quickly leaving with Patrick.
Moments later, Minna emerged from the stairwell, scanning the area and feeling a surge of satisfaction at Ethan’s absence. As long as he wasn’t with Brenna, she was content.

She knew Elsa would never permit Brenna to stay at the Mitchell Group building. Within days, Brenna would be kicked out of here.
Alani, fed up, couldn’t tolerate Minna’s behavior any longer. Everyone was busy cleaning, so why was Minna an exception?
“Minna, get moving!” Alani called out. “Why are you just standing there?”
Minna snapped back, “Who do you think you are, giving me orders? You’re not my boss. I’m the CEO’s chosen match, and soon, I’ll be his wife. You’ve got no business telling me what to do!”
Minna knew Ethan hadn’t publicly recognized her, but she was certain that with Elsa’s determination to separate him from Brenna, she would become his wife sooner or later.
Alani, enraged, dropped her cleaning cloth and approached her. “Still lost in your fantasies? Open your eyes; this is a workplace, not your home! You need to work!”
“Mind your own business,” Minna shot back, her arrogance evident.
Alani, though not Minna’s supervisor, knew exactly what to do to put Minna in line. Furious, she stormed off to complain about Minna, dialing Rex.
