The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118 Leave Us

Alone

Anticipating Ethan’s expected arrival, Rosie removed her sun hat and captured several photos as she approached Brenna.

Noticing something was off, Brenna saw Rosie’s unusual attire and frowned. “Why are you taking pictures of us?”

she asked.

Ignoring Brenna’s question, Rosie proceeded to snap shots of their dishes and quickly shared them with Ethan

She then held up her phone with a confident grin and said, “Brenna, didn’t you just agree to marry Ethan? And yet, here you are, dining with another guy. I saw you clinking glasses with him. Think Ethan would be okay knowing you’re out with someone else?”

Brenna rolled her eyes, finding Rosie childish.

“Seriously? Your opinions and ideas are so outdated. Is it really not appropriate for me to interact with others normally?” she said.

Rosie stood firm, her arms crossed, and gave a broad smile. “I’m not saying you can’t. Just keep in mind that you’re engaged. What if a couple of drinks make you do something you’ll regret later? Since you’re having drinks with him, that must mean your relationship is something special, right?” she said.

Brenna and Thiago both gave Rosie a scornful gaze before turning their attention away and choosing to ignore

her.

Quietly, Brenna scoffed, “Ridiculous.”

Thinking she had hit a nerve, Rosie couldn’t help but smile even more. “So, was I right? Is he the new guy in your life? Have things gone that far between you two?” she asked.

While Thiago secretly wished he were Brenna’s new love interest, he knew the truth. To her, he was merely a colleague, perhaps a close friend, but nothing more. His feelings for her had grown over the years, yet he had never revealed them, fearing it might ruin their friendship,

He wasn’t going to let anyone insult Brenna like this.

Rising with a burst of anger, he snapped, “Why should you care? What gives you the right to meddle in our affairs? This is none of your business! Leave us alone!”

A flicker of irritation crossed Rosie’s face as a shadow darkened her expression. She exclaimed, “How dare you talk to me like that? Do you have any idea who I am? I have the power to kill you easily.”

Brenna also stood, her wine glass in hand, and splashed Rosie’s face with the wine. “You’ve been stalking me for days. I’ve been ignoring you, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t noticed it. Keep this up, and my response

won’t be so polite,” she said,

Rosie’s anger flared up. “How dare you splash me with your drink? Why would you be concerned about me following you, unless you’ve done something to betray Ethan? Tell me, have you been sleeping with this man?”

she said.

Whispers filled the air in the restaurant as customers exchanged glances and quietly talked among themselves.

With a sharp motion, Brenna delivered a stinging slap to Rosie’s cheek, the sound echoing through the area

Rosie instinctively touched her cheek, stunned. How dare you lay a hand on me?” she asked.

At that moment, Ethan walked in, taking in the scene that suggested Brenna and Thiago were teaming up

against Rosic

He made his way over to them, his gaze falling on the half–eaten meals and the half–full bottle of wine on the

table.

A wave of discomfort swept over him as he thought of Brenna chatting and drinking with another man. It bothered him, especially since she had recently ignored his friend request on social media

Rosie burst into tears, playing the victim. She said, “Ethan, you saw everything, right? I was merely reminding Brenna of her commitment to you. But she responded by throwing wine at me and striking me. You have to do something about this!”

Ethan’s eyes shifted to Brenna and Thiago, noticing the dark expressions on their faces.
