The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160 Find Out More

About That Woman

Giselle understood the unspoken rules of this place. People who came here preferred discretion, so she just asked about Vincent’s health. “How is your grandfather?”

She had seen Vincent just days before, who had been doing rehabilitation exercises.

Ethan’s eyes briefly flickered to the bags Brenna was holding. He guessed that the smaller bag on the left contained something minor from the auction, possibly the emerald bracelet.

The bigger, more robust bag on the right seemed to be holding a plant, likely the Woodham, which Brenna could use for her medicinal concoctions, given her expertise.

After a quick glance at Brenna’s bags, Ethan responded to Giselle courteously, “Thank you for asking, Mrs. Harper. My grandfather is now able to walk on his own, though he moves quite slowly.”

His gaze shifted to Brenna, thinking that the Harpers might not be privy to Brenna’s role in Vincent’s treatment.

Brenna had been going to treat Vincent by herself.

If Giselle were aware that Brenna had been treating Vincent, she would certainly have mentioned it.

Giselle suggested, nodding towards the exit, “Let’s leave together.”

Ethan, showing no urgency to leave, handed the bag he was holding to Brenna, saying, “This is for you.”

Brenna gave her own bags to Giselle and took Ethan’s. Ethan took out a small box from the bag.

The box was decorated in a style reminiscent of Orwallian artistry. Inside was a diamond tiara, sparkling

brilliantly.

Ethan said to Brenna, “You’ll look absolutely beautiful wearing this at our engagement party.”

Brenna looked at the beautiful tiara in surprise. She now realized that Ethan had been the bidder in Room 16, who had competed with her for the tiara.

“Thank you,” she said with a warm smile.

She paused, then added, “I love it.”

Ethan tenderly placed the tiara on Brenna’s head, his eyes showing deep affection. “It looks perfect on you,” he

said.

Giselle observed the pair with a sense of contentment, believing they were a perfect match.

She looked at her daughter, convinced that Brenna was the most beautiful woman in the world.

Just then, Viper walked over with Valeria Mendoza. They paused in front of Brenna.

Valeria’s expression showed her annoyance at not wearing the tiara herself.

Both Brenna and Ethan turned their attention to Viper.

Ethan, having had previous unpleasant encounters with Viper, made no effort to conceal his contempt for him. He said coldly, “It’s rare to see you showing interest in anything, Viper.”

He then looked over at Valeria, having heard rumors that Viper only kept the most capable individuals with him. It was rumored that a woman accompanying him was an expert in explosives and had assisted him on numerous operations. Ethan believed Valeria was likely the one.

Ethan observed Viper’s bodyguard holding a wooden box, uncertain of its contents.

Due to the day’s multiple auction sessions, he had not kept track of all the items being auctioned.

Viper, also showing disdain for Ethan, looked at Brenna with a disrespectful smirk. “Is she the woman you are

interested in?”

Ethan offered no reply, just a cold laugh.

Viper looked at Brenna and said, “Not bad.”

Ethan responded with a hint of sarcasm, “Your woman is not bad, either.”

Viper’s attention then settled on the tiara on Brenna’s head. “Typical of the world’s richest man, spending 1.3 billion just to please a woman.”

His expression was cold and challenging.

Brenna disliked Viper. She always believed that he was dangerous.

She remembered her fight with Jay and how she had turned him over to the police. Viper was likely aware of the matter. If he discovered her involvement in the matter, would he seek revenge?

Although Viper appeared gentlemanly, Brenna was aware of his merciless nature from previous encounters.

Viper looked at Brenna with disdain, and he was intrigued by her apparent lack of fear. He let his gaze linger on

her for a moment before walking away.
