The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows novel Chapter 95

Chapter 95 Thiago’s Past

Ethan cast a chilling look at the bodyguards behind him, his voice ice–cold as he instructed, “Force them to drink it

He hadn’t witnessed Brenna being forced to drink earlier, but he could easily imagine how helpless she must have been, surrounded and bullied by so many people.

The scenario disturbed him deeply, he found it unbearable to think of such mistreatment occurring in his bar, especially to the woman he cared about.

Sylvie and Vivian were filled with fear. Holding on to the hope that Rosie’s friendship with Ethan might help her, Sylvie desperately pleaded before the drugged wine was forced into her mouth, “Mr. Mitchell, please, have mercy. Rosie is a close friend of mine. For her sake, please forgive me this time. I’m ready to kneel and apologize to Miss Harper. Please, don’t make me drink the wine…”

As tears rolled down Sylvie’s cheeks, Ethan’s expression didn’t soften. He asked sharply. “When Brenna was in your place, did she beg you? What was your response? And now you ask for mercy from me? I won’t show you

any mercy!”

With a dismissive gesture, he signaled the bodyguards, who efficiently forced the spiked wine into Sylvie’s and Vivian’s mouths, ensuring none was wasted.

Ethan then left with Brenna, showing no concern for the fate that awaited Sylvie and Vivian after they drank the wine. In his eyes, they had brought this to themselves.

As they moved through the hallway, Ethan looked at Brenna, concern evident on his face. Noticing her composed demeanor and that she showed no signs of injury, he felt a wave of relief but still asked, “Are you

alright? Did they harm you in any way?”

Brenna responded with a shake of her head, “I’m fine. Those people couldn’t lay a finger on me. But just so you know, I’ve already set up a high–stakes game with Harlan on the ninth floor.”

Thiago remained in the doorway, his eyes blazing with a deadly intensity as he stared at Harlan.

The other wealthy heirs and socialites, sensing danger, had already hurriedly left, pulling Sylvie and Vivian along with them.

Thiago paid them no attention. Today, he was focused on settling an old score with Harlan.

Harlan recognized Thiago as well. His earlier arrogance resurfaced as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, sneering at Thiago with cold disdain.

A mocking smile played across Harlan’s face. What terrible luck it was to run into Thiago!

“You’ve managed to survive all these years?” Harlan mocked, touching his chin with a smirk. “Still not cowering behind your mother? Still the same coward, just as useless. You haven’t changed at all. I’m in a bad mood

today, so you’re going to take the heat for it.”

< Chapter 95 Things Fast

Any trace of gentleness drained from Thiago’s face, leaving a chilling, determined expression His gaze sharpened as he remembered the cruel day years ago when Harlan and his malicious mother had ousted him and his mother from the Moreno family home.

The memories were crystal clear. His mother had loved his father, and they had once been a joyous family Unbeknownst to them, his father had been unfaithful, fathering another child and shifting all his wealth to that

mistress

In the end, that mistress had used his mother’s illness to force them out. With nothing left, they had made their way back to his grandfather’s house, drenched by the pouring rain.

His mother’s health had deteriorated drastically at that time.

But that wasn’t the end. That mistress, Harlan’s mother, had been cruel, making his grandfather so angry that

he died, and even setting their house on fire. With no other option, his mother had to take him overseas to

survive

Life abroad was brutal. He and his mother had struggled financially, and his mother, unable to afford medical

care, had died due to her illness.

Thiago lost control of his emotions. He surged forward and knocked Harlan to the floor with a forceful kick.

“How can I die while you’re still breathing?” he said sharply.

Harlan crashed into a table, shattering glasses and bottles. Sharp fragments cut into his flesh, leaving him

bleeding and immobilized. Through clenched teeth, he stared at Thiago and said, “You dare attack me?”

Thiago still felt a sense of dissatisfaction after the kick. Even if his father had divorced his mother, he and his

mother would have been fine. But Harlan’s malicious mother feared that one day, he might return to claim the

family’s wealth, so she targeted him and his mother without mercy.

If it hadn’t been for Harlan’s mother’s cruelty, his mother would still be alive.
