Chapter 753
753:
Then, she turned back to Brenna, her voice sharp with suspicion. “Is Dalton keeping you as his mistress?”
“What kind of nonsense are you saying? He is my brother,” Brenna snapped, clearly irritated.
Inside the kitchen, Ethan had just finished cleaning the vegetables when Elsa walked over. Without a word, she took the bowl from his hands.
“It’s rare to see someone like you helping out in the kitchen,” she said.
Elsa shot Brenna a sharp look, the kind that carried quiet accusation, blaming her for asking her son to help in the kitchen.
Despite everything that had happened, Elsa couldn’t bring herself to fully cut off her connection with Ethan. After all, he was her son.
Without another word, Elsa began to prepare the ingredients for the meal.
Meanwhile, Bess wasn’t buying Brenna’s explanation. She held onto Brenna’s arm tightly and yelled, “Just admit it! You’re cheating on Ethan, aren’t you? That’s why you said the money for Grandma didn’t come from Ethan. It must’ve been from another guy. I can’t believe Dalton would—”
Before she could finish, Ethan stepped in and removed her hand from Brenna’s arm. There was a subtle, amused glint in his eyes. “Brenna’s telling the truth. Dalton is a Harper; he is Brenna’s brother.”
“What? Really?” Bess’ eyes darted to Brenna, and she suddenly noticed the resemblance between Dalton and Brenna. Regret flooded her as she thought back on her earlier harsh words.
A part of her now desperately wanted to ask Brenna for Dalton’s contact info.
But her own harsh behavior earlier held her back, keeping her silent.
At that moment, Kenny walked out of his room, his face dark with frustration. He didn’t say anything as he walked toward the gate, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it with a sigh.
Minna quickly walked over to him.

“Hey, what’s wrong? Did something happen?” she asked, concern in her voice.
“The military command won’t reverse their decision,” Kenny replied, frustration lacing his voice. He was in this situation because of Minna and his mother, so he didn’t like Minna.
As his eyes drifted to the ring on his finger, he slipped it off and carelessly tucked it into his jacket pocket.
Minna’s heart sank. “Why are you taking off the ring?”
She had a bad feeling; she could sense that he no longer wanted to be in a relationship with her.
Kenny exhaled a stream of smoke and said casually, “We wore these rings and played the part so I could resume being a pilot in the military. But now that the military refuses to lift my penalty, there’s no reason to continue the act. The engagement ceremony we planned can be canceled. From this moment on, we can go our separate ways.”
“Absolutely not!” Minna shouted, her fury boiling over. “What do you take me for? A tool to be used when it’s convenient and discarded when it’s not? My reputation and career are already ruined. I do not accept what you are saying!”
