The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 144 This Isn't Over

Isabella was utterly shocked. Brenna had struck Denis, causing Isabella to yell, "Brenna, have you lost your mind? Do you realize who he is? How could you hit him like that?"

She then turned to the security personnel, her voice sharp as she said, "Did you not witness this madwoman attack someone? Kick her out of here immediately!"

At that moment, Rosie walked into the hall, her gaze sweeping over the scene with calm indifference. She remained silent, observing, as she waited for the guards to kick Brenna out.

The security guards just stood there, not making a move.noveldrama

Brenna flashed a sly smirk as she observed the guards doing nothing. Did they recognize her?

Denis lay slumped on the floor, groaning in pain from his back and waist, barely able to get the words out. "She's ruthless!" he growled.

Isabella rushed to his side, her face filled with concern. "Can you stand? Should we head to the hospital?" she

asked.

As Denis struggled to push himself up, pain shooting through his back, he pointed a trembling finger at Brenna and said, "This isn't over! The Wagner family isn't so easy to mess with!"

Brenna responded coolly, unfazed, "Easy or not, I still did it."

People around them chuckled in secret. Denis, notorious for his womanizing, appeared to have finally met someone who could teach him a lesson. Some even murmured that they wished he had been knocked out cold.

Fury overtaking him, Denis made a move towards Brenna.

Unfazed, Brenna watched him with disdain, poised to dodge and deliver another swift kick.

But before Denis could reach renna, he was propelled backward by a forceful kick. He soared through the air before crashing down with a resounding thud.

Onlookers swiftly cleared a path, allowing Denis a dramatic and clear landing. Denis hit the floor hard, gasping, "What the hell... This hurts so much!"

Denis remained still on the floor, causing bystanders to speculate whether he was seriously injured.

"He got what was coming to him!"

"Finally, someone put him in his place!"

"It was about time!"

Isabella, rooted to the spot, was overwhelmed by the turn of events. She hadn't foreseen such an escalation Regret flooded through her. She had hoped for Denis to stand up to her, but he ended up getting hurt. She now

thought Denis was a bit useless.

With a sense of unease, she approached Denis to assess his condition, not seeing who had just kicked Denis.

Brenna's eyes turned to the person who had kicked Denis. It was Ethan, looking as impeccable as ever, standing alongside top engineers from the Mitchell Group's automotive division.

Ethan withdrew his foot and walked toward Brenna, his face showing genuine concern. "Are you hurt?" he

asked.

The engineers from Mitchell Group watched the scene in disbelief. Their typically cold boss, Mr. Mitchell, had shown an unexpected tenderness toward a woman. Everyone watched in stunned silence as Ethan looked at

Brenna with a soft gaze.

"I'm okay," Brenna responded softly. She and Ethan moved past Denis together, her voice firm. "Take him out

of here!"

The security guards paused, thrown off by Brenna's commanding tone.

Ethan said to them, "This is Brenna Harper, recently recognized as Mr. Harper's biological daughter. She's being harassed on your premises. Shouldn't you be escorting the man harassing her off the property now?"

"Right away, Mr. Mitchell!" the guards responded immediately.

Fuming with anger, Denis said to the guards, "Don't you dare kick me out! The Wagner Group is a competitor here, too. Why am I the one being thrown out?"

The guards were determined in their action. The chief guard replied, "It's the designers from Wagner Group in the contest, not you personally. Why can't we throw you out?"

They proceeded to drag Denis out by his ankles, roughly dumping him down the steps outside.

Denis had never before experienced such humiliation.

"You'll regret this, Brenna! This isn't over!" he muttered under his breath.

From her position, Rosie observed the scene with a touch of envy. Brenna had successfully kicked Denis out.

She also believed Denis had proved himself useless, unable to stand up to a woman. She had secretly wished for Denis to turn the tables on Brenna, but instead, she was witness to his total humiliation.

Isabella looked at Denis, lying at the base of the stairs, not wanting to help him. However, fearing his anger and the possible consequences for the Barrett family, she pushed past her discomfort with the stares of those around her and reached out to offer assistance to Denis.

Rosie gave Denis one final glance as he lay helpless at the bottom of the steps and then turned to follow Ethan into the elevator.

The crowd near the elevator stepped aside as Ethan entered the elevator. Since Ethan was inside, they all opted to wait for the next round.

With a light smile, Rosie said, "Ethan."

Positioning herself on Ethan's side, she asked cautiously, "With so many talented designers from around the globe here, who do you think will win the top spot this time?"

Ethan replied in a raim, detached manner, "Have you reveared any of the design proposta

His tone was noticeshly colder than when he had been talking to Brenna Rose partly and is, I haven't reviewed them 1 was simply interested in hearing your thought on the contenders.
