The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows novel Chapter 117

Chapter 117 The Moreno Family Is Nearing Collapse

Rosie couldn’t quite grasp why Brenna, who had publicly agreed to marry Ethan, was now refusing to go through with the marriage.

She thought about it for a while and concluded that Brenna and Ethan must have had a fight

The idea thrilled her unexpectedly. It appeared Ethan was not the ideal match for Brenna as everyone had believed; even they could have disagreements.

Regrettably, she was unaware of the specifics of their dispute.

Rosie quickly decided to have someone track Brenna’s movements over the coming days.

Brenna was supposedly without a job, yet she was rarely home. So what kept her so occupied every day?

Rosie was determined to find out about that.

Meanwhile, Brenna, oblivious to Rosie’s newfound interest in her activities, was deeply involved with the troubles the Moreno family was facing. Their stocks were tumbling, with market values dropping by almost seventy percent, prompting shareholders to rapidly sell off their stakes.

Brenna was meeting Thiago at a restaurant across from the Moreno Group headquarters, monitoring the developments closely.

Outside the company’s offices, a group of construction workers, including men and women, had congregated, displaying a banner that read, “Pay us what we’re owed!”

Nearby, Brenna noticed another group, more ordinary in appearance, one of them holding up a portrait high, with family members alongside holding a white banner that read, “Justice for our loved one!”

Both groups were clearly distressed, and the company’s security was struggling to contain them.

Just then, a voice shouted through a loudspeaker, “Roberto Moreno, come down! Roberto Moreno, you coward!” The Moreno family had extensive real estate assets, with many construction projects and buildings in Shirie. Ast the family’s problems worsened, previously hidden issues were coming to light, including two buildings revealed to be of substandard construction with cracked walls, insufficient waterproofing, and low–quality

materials.

Thiago observed the unfolding chaos calmly, his expression untroubled.

“The Moreno family is nearing collapse,” Brenna said, sitting across from him. “Are you sure you Moreno family’s assets? If you act now, you could easily secure seventy percent of their shares.” Thiago calmly withdrew his gaze. “No, I don’t want this mess. If I take over, what’s to stop the Moreno family

from trying to reclaim it once I’ve sorted everything out?” he said.

Bienna nodded, understanding his point. They certainly will The Moreno Group has attracted attention from tax and law enforcement Roberto is likely to end up in prison,” he said

Thiago laughed, showing no pity for Roberto. He said, “He’s only getting what he deserves it would be better if the whole Moreno family ended up in jail”

Brenna refreshed the stock data for the Moreno Group on her phon, which continued to plummet as anticipated She showed her phone to Thiago, saying, “Look, it has reached its lowest limit again today”

Thiago moved closer to Brenna, their heads nearly touching, creating a seemingly intimate scene

Unbeknownst to them, Rosie was sitting in a corner of the restaurant, disguised with a large sun hat, secretly

watching Brenna.

She angled her phone and snapped a picture that made it appear as if Thiago were kissing Brenna on the cheek

Rosie muttered to herself, “I’ll send this photo to Ethan. When he sees how close Brenna is with another man, he’ll surely break up with her.”

She immediately sent the photo to Ethan..

Just then, several vehicles from the prosecution service pulled up, and uniformed officers swiftly entered the building of the Moreno Group.

Thiago’s expression turned genuinely happy as he lifted his glass, saying, “I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time.”

Brenna also lifted her glass, clinking it against his, and they both sipped their drinks with smiles of satisfaction.

Rosie captured this celebratory moment and quickly forwarded the photos to Ethan.

On top of the financial district’s tallest skyscraper, Ethan had just returned to his office from a meeting He checked his phone, frowning in frustration. Despite his repeated attempts over two days, Brenna had not responded to his friend request.

He noticed Rosie’s messages but disregarded them, assuming she was merely pestering him.

As he was about to put his phone down, Rosie sent him another
