The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 857:

“Fine, don’t go. I’ll handle it, but don’t blame me if you face humiliation later,” Ethan replied, irritation creeping into his voice. He only said that out of anger. No matter how strained things were between him and his parents, he couldn’t bring himself to intentionally humiliate them.

Ethan turned around and walked off, leaving Elsa to let out a long, frustrated sigh. “That Kenny! If that brat ever comes home again, I swear I’ll teach him a lesson!”

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Minna sat in the emergency room, her fresh bandages barely in place as she broke down in tears.

Minna’s mother sat close by, wiping her own eyes as she sobbed. “After all these years working alongside Elsa, this is how she treats me and my family? She has dragged our name through the mud. Not even an apology after everything that’s happened.”

Minna’s father could only sit in silence, his brow deeply furrowed, frustration weighing heavily on him.

Just then, Ethan arrived and approached the family. “Mr. and Mrs. Davies, Minna,” he said, pausing in front of them. “My family really didn’t anticipate today’s chaos.”

“What’s the point of saying that now?” Minna’s mother shot Ethan a furious look, her hand reaching out to slap him.

Ethan had arrived with two bodyguards.

The instant it seemed like Ethan might take a hit, and with him making no move to stop it, one of the bodyguards stepped in, quickly intercepting Minna’s mother by catching her wrist before she could land the slap. An icy glare from the bodyguard made her freeze, and his grip tightened just enough to make her wince in pain. Tears threatened to spill as she let out a sharp cry.

At a signal from Ethan, the bodyguard released her and quietly returned to his position.

“Mrs. Davies, I’m here to offer an apology on behalf of my parents,” Ethan said.

Minna’s mother, Julissa Davies, was about the same age as Elsa. They had been close friends for years, which was why Elsa had introduced Minna to her son. Normally composed, Julissa had been deeply angered by the Mitchell family’s behavior today. This frustration led her to act recklessly, wanting to slap Ethan.

She rubbed her wrist, shot Ethan a look of pure frustration, and snapped, “Is this your way of apologizing? At least try to make it seem sincere!”

Minna’s father, Kash Davies, stood by her side, reflecting on how highly he had once regarded the Mitchell family. Emmett and Elsa had earned his respect through their distinguished military careers and the genuine respect they showed others. Their son, Ethan, had left a strong impression on him as well. As a wealthy and powerful man, Ethan had never been arrogant.

But after the matchmaking incident, Minna’s mood had soured, and she had avoided any questions about what had transpired. For months, Kash had believed his daughter was happily dating Ethan. He had genuinely thought she’d found an outstanding boyfriend.
