Chapter 873
873:
Brenna had seen right through Elsa’s act, too, but she chose not to call it out.
“You go ahead. I’m going shopping with the girls. I’m not heading back just yet,” Brenna said to Ethan.
Ethan gave her a nod, pulling a sleek black credit card from his jacket pocket and handing it to her. “Use my card.”
Brenna cast a glance at the card, then gracefully reached out and took it with her slender fingers. “Alright, but don’t go blaming me for spending too much later.”
Elsa, still leaning against Kenny, burned with rage. She believed Brenna had her son wrapped around her finger. It was maddening to see him so taken by her, completely blind to her tactics. All she wanted was his money. How could he not see that?
“I’m only worried that you won’t spend enough,” Ethan said with a small laugh before walking off behind Kenny.
Once they were gone, the restaurant quieted again. Brenna sat back down, but the food on the table had gone cold, so she called a waiter to have it reheated.
Ellie frowned and shook her head, clearly not fond of Elsa. “Brenna, Ethan’s mom is so controlling. You might want to really think about your relationship with Ethan.”
Lilith nodded and said, “I can see it, too. The way Elsa acted today was unbelievable. Who would’ve thought that she, the respected singer, would be like this in private? Having someone like her as your future mother-in-law is bound to drive you up the wall.”
“I’m not in a rush to get married,” Brenna let out a soft chuckle. “I’ve only just returned to my family. I want to spend a few more years with my parents before I settle down.”
Brenna paused, then added, “To be honest, my mom doesn’t exactly support my relationship with Ethan, either. But she’s not like Ethan’s mother. She just thinks about setting me up on blind dates.”
Ellie gave a thoughtful nod. “You really should go on a blind date. Who knows? The person you meet might be a better match for you than Ethan. Marriage is about compatibility, nothing else.”

Inside the car, Neville sat at the wheel, while Ethan and Kenny rode in the back. Elsa was placed right in the middle between her two sons. The moment the car doors closed, she opened her eyes, dropping the act completely.
Without saying a word, Elsa began hitting Kenny to let out her pent-up frustration.
Kenny didn’t move. He sat quietly and let her get it out.
Once Elsa calmed down, her tone turned sharp as she asked, “Where have you been hiding these past few days? Don’t tell me you’ve been living with that woman.”
Kenny’s irritation flared. His brows furrowed as he responded, “Mom, don’t talk about her like that.”
