The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 156 Lucky

Brenna clicked her tongue twice. "You're lucky to have survived. Be more careful next time," she said.

To be exact, Rosie had walked away alive from two car accidents. She was

indeed lucky.

Brenna looked at Rosie, who was on the hospital bed, a playful glint in her eye. At least for the next three

months, she thought, Rosie wouldn't be causing any more trouble for her.

She then looked over at Sylvie and Vivian. "Don't you think I'm right?"

Sylvie and Vivian were so frustrated. No matter how many times they tried to trick Brenna into admitting she had tampered with the brake pads, she just kept dodging the question. It was maddening

Vivian shot Brenna a hard look and instinctively replied, "Yeah, she is quite lucky. But next time, who knows?"

She instantly regretted saying those words. Had she just jinxed Rosie into another crash?

"Forget I said that!" she quickly said.

Brenna chuckled lightly. There was something oddly satisfying about watching the three of them stew in their frustration. They were clearly fed up, but they couldn't do a thing about her. She loved the look of irritation and helplessness on them.

She said, "Is there anything else you want to say? If not, I'm leaving."

Rosie hadn't gotten what she wanted, so she wasn't about to let Brenna leave just yet. "We're not done here. Who said you could go?" she said.

Brenna arched an eyebrow, her patience thinning. "What more do you want? I don't have time to waste on you."

Rosie stared at the flowers Brenna had brought. They were cheap and common. Brenna was the daughter of the rich Harper family, yet she had brought her ething

cheap. It was evident she looked down upon her.

Rosie's irritation deepened. She wanted to make things difficult for Brenna.

"I want to eat an apple. Peel it for me," she said.

Brenna didn't refuse. She picked up an apple from the bedside table and peeled

it.

In no time, it was done, and she handed it to Rosie.

But Rosie didn't take it. "How am I supposed to eat such a big apple? Cut it into small pieces for me."

Standing off to the side, Rachael caught on to what Rosie was doing and let out a quiet laugh.

Brenna shoved the apple into Rosie's hand. "I am not doing that. I'm not your maid."

Rosie scowled. "What kind of attitude is that? You're so rude."

Without a word, Rachael took the apple, cut it into neat pieces, and placed them in a container for Rosie.

But Rosie had already lost interest in the apple. Her anger had smothered whatever appetite she had.

Brenna just turned and left without another word. The moment she stepped out of the hospital, her phone buzzed with a message from Ellie.

"I've almost sorted everything out. Turns out it was all a setup. I'm packing now. My flight's in two days. How's the house hunting? Don't tell me you slacked off and didn't help me find one."

Brenna replied, "My parents gave me several houses. I saved the biggest one for you. Two hundred square meters. How's that? You don't have to pay rent at all."

"You are the best! By the way, how's Jayceon doing?" Ellie responded.

When she saw the message, Brenna pouted. It was obvious to her that Ellie still hadn't fully moved on from Jayceon. Maybe they would end up back together soon.

Brenna replied, "I don't know. Haven't seen him around lately. But during the Harper Group's design competition awards, someone said he went abroad. No idea if he's back now. Why do you ask? Thinking of getting back together with him? He doesn't deserve you."

Ellie responded, "It's not like that. It's just my son won't quit asking for his father. Every time he sees other kids with fathers, he pesters me about the matter. I'm about to lose it."

Brenna replied, "There are plenty of men out there. How about..."

"You are right! How about you let me use Mr. Mitchell?" Ellie replied.

Brenna didn't miss a beat. "Sorry. I don't let others use my cars or my man. But Thiago... He might make a

decent stand-in dad."

"Absolutely not!" Ellie fired back. "Anyone but him. Even Joe or Tommy would be better."noveldrama

"What did Thiago ever do to you? Why are you so dead set against him?" Brenna replied.

"Playing dumb, huh? Just remember to pick me up in two days. And don't let your man know I'm back," Ellie

responded.

"Alright," Brenna replied.

Brenna made her way back to her studio in the Financial Building. Inside, everyone was working hard. Tommy stood behind one of the engineers, pointing something out on a screen as they discussed design tweaks.

As Brenna walked in, the team turned and greeted her with smiles.

Brenna's studio, apart from herself, was made up of 20 people, all top-tier in their fields. She had no doubt about that. Otherwise, she wouldn't offer such high salaries to them.

"Thanks for all your hard work," Brenna said to everyone.

Tommy followed her into the office to report something. "Remember a year ago, we designed that helicopter and fighter jet for our military client? Mr. Foster reached out today. He said the enemy's system has been upgraded. It's a lot like ours and very powerful. He wants us to develop a new one. They're also asking for a more advanced fighter jet. Looks like a big job, and the payout should be good."

Brenna tapped her fingers lightly against the desk. "I'll take charge of both projects myself. You handle the

pricing. Set the system at seventy million. The fighter jet goes for two hundred million."
