Chapter 787
787:
Everyone in the room shifted their gaze toward Brenna. The look on their faces showed surprise, but underneath that was a clear sense of disbelief at what she had just claimed.
They already saw Brenna as someone extraordinary. She was young, yet her list of achievements spoke for itself. Her skills in mechanical design went beyond what even veteran engineers could do. She was also credited as the lead designer behind the newest generation of fighter jets.
That alone placed her in the realm of a genius. Most people struggled to master one field, yet somehow, she had succeeded in several.
From what they knew, Brenna also owned a venture capital firm and was highly capable in finance and investment.
Now, she was saying she had also developed a cardiovascular drug that earned international recognition?
That just sounded far too unreal.
Their eyes were filled with doubt as they looked at Brenna. Still, because Brenna stood beside Ethan as his girlfriend and had earned a reputation for creating the next-gen fighter jets, the Mitchell family members showed her respect.
Even though they weren’t completely convinced she had created the medicine, they chose not to confront her about it. That would only seem rude.
The Mitchell family prided themselves on their military background, which shaped their sense of discipline and order. The older family members stayed quiet, and the younger ones knew better than to interject. Their reputation for good manners meant that even their expressions were carefully measured, never making guests feel unwelcome.
Cason, who had been sitting quietly on a single armchair off to the side, gave a small nod of approval. “Miss Harper, I didn’t know you had made strides in pharmaceuticals, too. When my father’s health first declined, Dr. Pierce recommended you to us. I recall hearing that you were the last student under Cuthbert, and his most gifted one at that. To be honest, my father took this medicine before, but we bought it through the Pierce family’s pharmaceutical company at that time. Did you cooperate with the Pierce family’s company?”
Brenna gave a small nod. “That’s right. I created the formula. The Pierce family takes care of the production and distribution.”
Cason let out a soft “Oh” and seemed convinced. Brenna’s calm demeanor and honest tone left little room for doubt. Despite everything she had accomplished, there wasn’t even a hint of arrogance in her voice. She didn’t come across as someone who exaggerated or made things up to show off.

“You’re extraordinary. Honestly, I’m starting to think Ethan isn’t good enough for you,” said Cason with genuine warmth.
While the Mitchell children had their fair share of success, it was hard to ignore how small their achievements looked next to Brenna’s.
Elsa had been holding back her displeasure. But watching the Mitchells gush over Brenna like she was some kind of genius and hearing Cason toss out that compliment made her unable to hold back anymore.
