The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows novel Chapter 206

Chapter 206 Swap

In Brenna’s bedroom on the third floor, she was absorbed in replying to Ethan’s messages. She had just discovered that he had been in Norview for the past few days. Since today was her birthday, he had timed his return perfectly and aimed to arrive at the Harper family’s residence by seven in the evening to celebrate with her.

Julia stood nearby, patiently waiting for Brenna to finish texting before explaining why she was here.

Yet, she couldn’t shake the feeling that she hadn’t approached the situation well, especially since Ellie was already prepared to do Brenna’s makeup.

Just then, Ellie’s phone rang. She answered it quickly and responded after a brief pause, “Alright, I’ll try to have the design draft ready within the hour for you to review.”

When she hung up, she shrugged and said, “Talk about perfect timing, I have a draft to finish, and the client’s breathing down my neck. Since you already have a talented makeup artist here, you can let him do the makeup for you.”

Brenna glanced at her. “Alright.” She turned to Julia. “Julia, please bring the makeup artist up.”

Julia nodded respectfully and left. Moments later, Bingham appeared, carrying two makeup cases.

It was Bingham’s first time meeting Brenna, and he was struck speechless by her beauty. Even without makeup. she was the kind of woman who commanded attention effortlessly. With the right touch of makeup, she would

be nothing short of breathtaking.

“Miss Harper, your beauty is truly extraordinary,” Bingham said, his voice sincere. His gaze briefly drifted to the table, where the diamond tiara rumored to have cost a fortune rested as though it were something trivial.

The tiara was encrusted with countless pure diamonds that shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight, displaying a stunning reflection of luxury.

Bingham couldn’t take his eyes off the tiara for a full minute before he finally snapped back to reality.

Meanwhile, Brenna pretended not to notice that, her eyes on her phone as she typed and her colleagues at the studio. In just two hours, they would all be arriving.

* quick replies to Ethan

“Let’s get started,” Brenna said, her voice calm, waiting for Bingham to regain his composure.

Snapping back to the moment, Bingham smiled sheepishly, set the cases on the table, and began unpacking. He opened the cases, pulled out a stand, and secured the makeup box onto it.

When he looked at Brenna’s flawless skin, he couldn’t help but say, “Miss Harper, your skin is phenomenal. It’s smooth and absolutely flawless. I have never seen anything like it. Your features are symmetrical and exquisite. Truly impeccable.”

Although he was doing his best to flatter her, his gaze repeatedly wandered back to the tiara.

Chapter 206 Swep

Brenna wasn’t especially fond of Bingham, finding his constant flattery a bit annoying.

She paid him little attention, offering only the occasional half–hearted reply to his attempts at conversation.

Bingham’s skill with makeup was undeniable. Under his expert hands, Brenna’s beauty was elevated even further, and her hair was styled into a sophisticated updo.

Bingham gently lifted the tiara from the table and turned to Brenna, “Mi Harper, shall I place the crown on

you now?”

Brenna gave a faint nod, barely looking up.

Bingham had already noticed that the surveillance cameras were only in the living room and kitchen, not in the bedroom. The other girl in the room was too absorbed in adjusting a design draft on her computer to pay him any attention.

Brenna was also preoccupied, her attention fixed on replying to work messages on her phone.

Seizing the moment, Bingham swiftly opened a black box from his case and retrieved a nearly identical tiara. With practiced ease, he swapped the imitation for the authentic diamond tiara, putting the genuine one securely inside the black box.

He was certain no one had seen him and was confident his actions had been smooth.

When he turned back, Brenna remained engrossed in her phone, her fingers flying across the screen.

Letting out a relieved breath, he steadied himself. As long as no one saw him doing that, everything would be

fine..

With composed ease, he placed the fake tiara on Brenna’s head.

The imitation was a flawless replica, identical in every way except for one crucial detail. The diamonds were nothing more than high–quality glass. But without a microscope, even an expert would struggle to tell the

difference.

If he managed to deliver the real diamond tiara to Rosie, he would walk away with a reward of five hundred thousand.

This was his first time doing something like this, and the pressure made his hands tremble.

As he adjusted the tiara, he accidentally tugged on Brenna’s hair.

Brenna winced in pain.

Bingham quickly apologized, “I’m so sorry, Miss Harper. I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

Brenna’s voice remained calm. “It’s alright. By the way, my cousin is coming over later. She heard you are here and would like you to do her makeup. Could you stay here a little longer?”

Bingham hesitated, reluctant to stay any longer. The more time he spent there, the greater the risk of the tiara swap being discovered.

“Well… You only paid for one person’s service,” he said.

Brenna remained unfazed. “Don’t worry. You will get paid for your extra service.”
