Chapter 724
724:
Reluctantly, Brenna sat back down, worried Ethan might try to force his way in. As she feared, Ethan got into a physical fight with the security guards outside.
The Harper family rushed out to intervene.
Several Harper security personnel lay incapacitated on the ground, while Ethan grappled with another guard, executing a skillful shoulder throw.
“Enough!” Shepard stormed forward, glaring at Ethan. “Isn’t it enough that your mother degraded Brenna and humiliated our family? And now you come here to start a fight?”
Ethan immediately stopped and stepped back. “Mr. Harper, you misunderstand the situation. I came to offer my apologies. If I delay this, I fear Brenna and your family will misunderstand me. What happened today was not my doing; my mother acted independently. I have no intention of ending my relationship with Brenna. Please hear me out before passing judgment.”
Giselle, having reached her limit, interjected, “Enough with the explanations. I believe you want to stay with Brenna. However, I remain convinced that you two are incompatible. Please stop bothering her. We refuse to get involved in your family’s problems. Just leave.”
Brenna kept her composure, sensing Ethan’s genuine concern but feeling the matter didn’t need to be addressed now. “You should resolve your family issues first. We can talk about our relationship after that.”
Giselle noticed Brenna’s attempt to comfort Ethan privately and her reluctance to end things. She scolded Brenna, “Haven’t you suffered enough humiliation from his mother? Do you want more? Cut ties with Ethan. I will introduce you to someone new tomorrow.”
Brenna quickly yielded. “Mom, I will listen to you and stop talking to Ethan.”
Giselle scoffed dismissively and pushed Ethan back physically. Despite his strength, Ethan dared not retaliate and retreated.
“I promise to fully explain today’s events. Please give me a chance. I will handle this properly.” Never before had Ethan spoken with such humility.

Ernst and Brenna remained silent, trusting Ethan’s character and understanding his strained family ties. They saw this as a misunderstanding.
However, Shepard and Giselle believed Ethan would not resolve this soon. They ushered Ernst and Brenna back inside.
Outside, Neville watched Ethan’s somber expression, unsure how to comfort him. He silently opened the car door.
Rex remained quiet, taking the front seat beside Neville.
“Mr. Mitchell, we should head to the hospital to treat your injuries.”
Just then, Ethan’s phone vibrated with a message from Brenna, instantly lifting his spirits.
“You still have injuries. Get them properly treated and take care of yourself.”
Though Brenna didn’t mention the day’s incident, Ethan felt a deep sense of relief from her concern, the tension in his brow visibly softening.
“To the hospital,” Ethan said to Rex.
He then replied to Brenna, “I’ll handle this. Trust me.”
