The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows novel Chapter 133

Chapter 133 Do You Have Feelings For Him

Upon entering the abandoned playground, Thiago and Brenna surveyed the scene. The years of abandonment had covered the ground with a thick layer of dirt while towering weeds blocked their view of any hidden threats. A dim light struggled to pierce the dense overgrowth, casting an ominous shadow over the

environment.

The silence of the air was occasionally broken by the sudden cries of wildlife, each one unsettling enough to

make the faint–hearted feel uneasy.

Despite everything, the two of them moved forward toward the faint light, showing no signs of hesitation.

With a hint of regret in his voice, Thiago said, “Harlan won’t just let us go. He’s definitely going to lay a trap. I can’t help but blame myself for getting us involved in this.”

Brenna had already expected this situation. “Jay took a big blow because of us. It’s only a matter of time before he retaliates. We’ve dealt with worse situations abroad before. This is nothing.”

A brief walk later, Brenna’s phone broke the silence, Ethan’s urgent voice on the other end of the line. “Where are you? We need to discuss something important.”

Caught off guard by Ethan’s late call, Brenna responded, “I’m not at home right now. What’s up?”

Ethan was still in his office, standing by the floor–to–ceiling window, overlooking the city of Shirie. His voice was firm as he said, “The situation with the Moreno family is a real nightmare. It’s not only about gangs and deaths -city officials are tangled up in it, too, Four of them have already been dragged into this. Your friend could be in serious trouble.”

Brenna looked at Thiago and switched the call to speakerphone so he could hear Ethan, too.

As Thiago listened in, Brenna said to Ethan, “Are you looking into the Moreno family’s situation? Thiago’s with

me now.”

A hint of jealousy slipped into Ethan’s voice when he learned that Brenna wasn’t by herself at this hour. “Are you alright? Tell me your location. I’ll go to see you.”

He was already on the move, sharing what he had discovered. “Prosecutors received anonymous tips connecting five deaths, including Roberto’s ex–wife and two of the Moreno family’s rivals, along with two others killed by Harlan. The police are searching everywhere for him now.

Brenna glanced at the distant light. “Harlan is here. You should call the police.”

Ethan’s worry deepened. “Meeting someone like Harlan is too dangerous. Don’t do it. Stay put Send me your location right now,” he said.

A sense of warmth spread through Brenna’s chest, and without hesitation, she sent him her locanon

Despite this, she didn’t stop moving She kept walking toward the bright light ahead

As for Thiago, he wasn’t concerned about the matter. After all, he was the one who had provided the anonymous tips that could bring down the Moreno family. He believed they were enough to bring the Mormo family down.

“Mr. Mitchell seems to care a lot about you,” Thiago said, his voice tinged with a trace of jealousy He was aware that, when it came to abilities, he fell short compared to Ethan Brenna could look forward to a safe and happy future with Ethan, while with him, there was only uncertainty

He wanted Brenna to have a happy life with Ethan, but he was still a bit bitter about it

He asked, “Brenna, do you have feelings for him?”

Brenna’s smile was faint. “I wouldn’t say I like him… But I can’t say I dislike him, either.”

They reached the source of the light at last. As expected, Harlan wasn’t by himself–lurking in the shadows and a menacing group of at least fifty men, waiting for them.
