The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 853:

Her mother, a military officer herself, said anxiously, “Minna, please don’t act out like this. Kenny is not the kind of man who would abandon you easily!”

Her voice rose as she turned to Kenny, her face twisted with fury. “Kenny, look at what you’ve done to my daughter! Is this really how far you’re willing to go just to walk away with that woman?”

Rosanna’s grip on Kenny’s hand never wavered. Her eyes were steady, unshaken, locked onto his. “If you give in now, you’ll spend the rest of your life giving in. You will never get to live the way you want. Kenny, they are trying to control you. Do not let them win. If they really want to die so much, let them. Let’s leave!”

Without another word, Rosanna grabbed Kenny’s hand and left with him.

They didn’t look back once. In a matter of seconds, they disappeared from the hall entirely.

Behind them, the room descended into chaos.noveldrama

“Ah!” Minna let out a piercing scream, driven by heartbreak, and pushed the glass even deeper into her skin. Before she could go any further, several soldiers rushed in and tore the shard from her hand.

Minna looked around at the eyes watching her—some sympathetic, some mocking, and some indifferent. Brenna’s gaze seemed to say, “You brought this upon yourself.”

At that moment, Minna felt like nothing more than a joke.

The next second, she passed out.

Minna’s father rushed forward and caught her before she could hit the floor, shouting her name in panic.

Her mother, shaking with rage, turned on Elsa and slapped her across the face with all her strength. “This is all your fault!”

Elsa pressed her hand to her cheek, stunned. This had become the most humiliating day of her life. She had spent her entire career on stage, earning respect and admiration. Yet now, both of her sons had turned their backs on her.

Her eldest son had always been obedient, but today, he had defied her in front of everyone. Fury swelled inside her chest. Her head began to throb, and her vision blurred at the edges.

Meanwhile, Emmett stayed composed, calling Kenny and demanding he return immediately.

Ethan noticed the color drain from Elsa’s face and quickly moved to steady her. “Mom, you need to calm down.”

“How can I calm down now?” Elsa exclaimed just before her knees buckled. Then, she fainted.

Observing Elsa’s evident discomfort, Brenna approached and gently massaged a few pressure points on Elsa’s head and neck.

Elsa, leaning into Ethan for support, slowly regained her composure. Under the circumstances, continuing the engagement party was clearly out of the question. With Kenny having left and Minna whisked away to the hospital, the guests felt it was best to leave. So, the guests Ethan had invited tactfully started to depart, one by one. Meanwhile, the guests Emmett had invited stayed behind, offering words of solace to Emmett and Vincent.
