RedNovelChapter 632: She plopped herself back onto the sofa and grabbed Minna's hand. "I really don't get it. Minna's a college graduate. She's pretty, gentle, and good-natured. How is she not good enough for you? I bet Brenna has been badmouthing her to you!" She snorted and continued, "Tell Brenna to chere. I'll say it to her face. I will never accept her as my daughter-in-law! She needs to stay away from you!" Brenna, who had just arrived at the door, caught every word. A small crowd of secretaries had gathered behind her, whispering and peeking into the office with barely concealed curiosity.

The irritation that had darkened his features melted away at once. He walked over and said apologetically, "You got here faster than I expected." He had instructed Milton Green, the vice president, to meet the Harper Group's shareholders about acquiring their shares. He had planned to transfer the shares he obtained directly into Brenna's nand discuss the matter with her. Thus, he had asked her to cover. He hadn't expected that Elsa would show up first, or that Brenna would overhear everything.
Elsa turned toward Brenna with a sharp, disdainful glance and arrogantly said, "Just in time. I have something to say to you." Standing calmly beside Ethan, Brenna nodded and greeted Elsa out of respect. Then she said, "Of course. If you have something to say, please go ahead." Elsa snorted coldly and said, “Drop the act. I know you hatefor opposing your relationship with Ethan. Go ahead. Vent your anger onall you want." She was provoking Brenna on purpose. If Brenna did lash out at her, she believed Ethan might finally agree to break up with Brenna. But Brenna's expression remained cool and detached. "I have no intention of doing anything like that." Out of the corner of her eye, Elsa caught sight of the secretaries lingering by the doorway, eavesdropping. Suddenly, an idea cto mind. She abruptly stood up, dragged Minna up with her, and faced the crowd. "Since you're all here, letmake something perfectly clear. Minna is my chosen daughter-in-law.

To avoid the gossip from spiraling further, he straightened up and spoke with a voice that everyone could hear. “That's nonsense. I'm not even married. Brenna is my girlfriend. Minna means absolutely nothing to me." Ch@pter updat3s at glovels.☐☐ His gaze swept over the group of secretaries like a sharp blade. They gasped in unison, then quickly left the scene.

Ethan could hardly believe Elsa would stoop so low and resort to cheap tricks just to force him into accepting En.

"The secretaries aren't idiots, Mom," Ethan said coldly. "They're all top university graduates Tricks like that won't work. If you have nothing else to say, you should leave. I have work to do."
But Elsa showed no sign of concern over the secretaries fleeing the scene. In her mind, she had already won. She believed that after today, the whole company would know about Minna's special status. People would start currying favor with her.
