The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 855:

“Mom, don’t say that. You are overthinking things,” he said, defending Brenna.noveldrama

Lately, Elsa had been at odds with Ethan, but seeing him manage the fallout without resentment, she still considered him her thoughtful son. Emmett rose, saying to Elsa, “I’ll go smooth things over with the Davies family. You don’t look great; go home and rest. Ethan can handle things here.”

Ethan stood, shaking his head. “No, Dad, you take Mom home. I’ll deal with the Davies family.”

Emmett met Ethan’s gaze, knowing full well how Ethan would handle the matter—using his wealth to resolve the issue.

Ethan wouldn’t lower himself or say nice words to deal with this. He would only use money to do it.

Though Emmett disliked this tactic, he knew it was effective.

“Fine, go. But watch your tone—don’t be too brash. We’re the ones who wronged them,” Emmett said.

Ethan nodded and strode off.

He caught up with Brenna at the elevator. She was waiting there, arms crossed.

“Are you heading to the Davies family?” Brenna asked lightly, already anticipating that Ethan would be the best person to handle this.

Ethan nodded. “Yes. Do you want to come with me?”

Brenna shook her head. “No, I would just get an earful if I showed up.” She arched a brow, secretly pitying Elsa, who seemed betrayed by both of her sons. But she kept that to herself, not wanting to upset Ethan.

“I’ll get you home first,” Ethan said as he stepped into the elevator with Brenna. “You skipped lunch, right? Are you hungry?”

As he spoke, Ethan’s mind began drifting to where they might grab a bite together before dealing with the headache that was the Davies family.

“No, I’m fine. Lilith and I had some pastries and juice earlier.” Lowering her voice, Brenna asked, “So, what’s your plan for handling the Davies family?”

Catching the hint in Brenna’s eyes, Ethan smirked. “Isn’t it obvious? I’m just going to throw money at them until the problem is solved.”

Brenna replied sarcastically, “Right. It’s not like your family can go there and apologize to them.”

Ethan caught on immediately. “You mean, I should get my parents and brother to apologize to them in person?”

“Yeah,” Brenna replied. “If all you do is pay them off, it’ll come across as an insult. Let the Davies family vent their grievances, let your family take the heat, and then offer compensation. That’s the only way they’ll feel satisfied.”

Ethan nodded in agreement. “You make a good point. They’ve already lost face and put up with enough. If they just took the money, they’d look weak. Giving them a chance to let it out first, then handing over the money will make them satisfied.”
