The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78 Causing A

Scene

Brenna was yanked from her chair, her phone clattering to the floor. “I am the daughter of the Harper family!

What are you doing? Let go of me!”

Ruby walked over and shoved Brenna as she said, “Dressed in rags, you claim to be a Harper? Hah, how

shameless! How could someone from the Harper family look like this? You smell of cheap perfume, probably

only thinking about seducing men. What, are you hoping to snag a rich man and become his mistress?”

The corner where they stood was near the exit to the banquet hall, and in the blink of an eye, Brenna was

pulled toward the door.

“Mom, help!” Brenna’s cries echoed loudly.

Ruby thought she was calling her and said coldly, “Don’t call me mom. I am not the mother of someone so

disgraceful. I never want to see you again!”

Mack, towering over Brenna, shook his head disapprovingly. “You shouldn’t even be considering something like

that. I know you’re accustomed to the comfort of being a Barrett daughter and don’t want to go back to that

poor, run–down village. I understand that, but I can’t stand by while you act like this. You’re dishonoring the

Barrett family,” he said.

Ruby and Isabella exchanged looks. They were aware that Brenna had made a fortune from her consultancy for Vincent and wasn’t financially desperate. They believed her greed drove her to want more, and that she was

here to seduce a rich man.

Isabella’s eyes drifted back to the banquet hall, where Ethan was still chatting with a group of elite guests. He glanced in her direction briefly.

Convinced that Ethan was looking at her, Isabella flashed what she believed to be a captivating smile.

However, Ethan quickly averted his gaze, showing no interest.

Isabella’s spirits plummeted, and she blurted out to Brenna, “Just get out of here.”

Enraged, Brenna retaliated by kicking Mack sharply. “Who are you to dictate where I can be?” she exclaimed in

anger.

Mack stumbled and fell, surprised by Brenna’s unexpected strength.

Ruby screamed, “Have you lost your senses, Brenna? How could you kick, him like that; he is your brother!”

The commotion captured the attention of everyone in the room. Conversations halted, and all eyes turned to the spectacle of Mack on the floor.

“What happened?”

“What’s going on?”

Elsewhere in the hall, Shepard and Giselle paused their conversation as the disturbance reached their ears. They set their drinks aside and moved quickly towards the commotion.

Brenna stepped over Mack, brushed past Ruby and Isabella, and continued calling out, “Mom!”

“Brenna, are you alright?” He noticed stains of blueberry juice on Brenna’s face and, calling a server over for a napkin, he tenderly wiped her face clean.

Giselle took Brenna’s hand, her voice laden with worry. “Can you tell us what’s going on? Who did this to you?”

Mack, regaining his footing, pulled Brenna away from Giselle and sneered, “Really, Brenna, you’ve gone too far this time. Hiring an actress to play your mother just to ascend the social ladder?”

Shepard’s anger fla: ed upon hearing this. “Kick this man out immediately!” he ordered.

His daughter was being mistreated right at their event–this was unacceptable!

At that moment, Alec intervened. Witnessing Mack sneer at Giselle, he struck Mack across the face and said, “Idiot! This is Mrs. Harper!”
