Chapter 915
915:
Brenna had already seen the footage of Ethan and Gracie at the bar, so that part wasn’t news. But Gracie staying at Ethan’s place? That was new to her.
“Stop spreading rumors without evidence,” Brenna replied firmly.
Tina smirked. “Oh, I’ve got evidence. My brother lives near Mr. Mitchell. He saw the whole thing—Ethan personally opened the car door for Gracie and walked her inside. They stayed there for quite some time.”
Tina made sure to raise her voice, ensuring everyone caught her words as she spoke to Brenna, “My brother witnessed Mr. Mitchell himself walking Miss Wilson into the house. He even greeted Mr. Mitchell at that time.”
A sneer broke across her face as she added, “Does that shock you? With all your looks and the family name you boast about, you thought you stood out. But look at the situation now. You’ve been overshadowed by Miss Wilson.”
Tina looked at Brenna with disdain. “You grew up with the Barretts, who never had much standing. You can’t compare to Miss Wilson. She’s the daughter of the Wilson family, whose business runs all of Norview. You two are worlds apart. Only a woman from a top global corporation can truly stand next to Mr. Mitchell. But don’t feel too bad. There are still people in Shirie at your level. Want me to set you up with one?”
Unbothered by the spectacle, Brenna fixed Tina with a cold stare and asked, “Are you worried about me?”
Ethan had welcomed Gracie back just the night before, and by morning, the news had spread through Shirie’s elite circles. Everyone was waiting to see Brenna’s reaction.
Brenna quickly sent Ethan a message on her phone.
“You don’t need to worry about her.” Jordy’s voice cut through the tension as he strolled over in a sharp blue suit, hands in his pockets. He cast Tina a look of hostility. “Miss Russell, it’s normal for a man like Ethan to have many women by his side. Besides, you don’t really know what Ethan and Gracie did inside that house. You’re just speculating.”
Annoyance flashed in Tina’s eyes. “Why don’t you just stay out of this?”

Jordy gave her a pointed look and replied, “Brenna and I used to be together. I won’t sit by and let anyone bully her. Even if Ethan breaks up with her, she still has me.”
Taking his place at Brenna’s side, Jordy defended her.
Ever since he joined forces with Denis, his business had expanded exponentially. What was once a small firm had turned into a juggernaut, with assets in the tens of billions. He was just a step away from breaking into the ranks of Shirie’s richest elite.
There was no doubt in his mind—he was now fit to stand beside Brenna.
In fact, Jordy saw himself as nearly an equal to Ethan.
Tina gave Jordy a dismissive look, barely acknowledging him. Brenna had little patience for Jordy’s act and sharply said, “Do yourself a favor and stay away from me.”
