The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 438:

Brenna delivered two swift kicks, sending the guards tumbling across the polished marble. She used her full strength without hesitation.

Their bodies slid across the floor, ending with heavy thuds.

Stunned, the guards could hardly believe what had just happened; they hadn’t anticipated such ferocity from someone so seemingly delicate. Despite their professional training, they struggled to accept how effortlessly Brenna had overpowered them.

Grimacing, they got to their feet and prepared to beat her up.

One guard managed a strained compliment through gritted teeth. “Impressive,” he said, touching his aching side. “You’re the first to knock us both down, but don’t think you can do it again.”

Meanwhile, at the front desk, a worried receptionist quickly alerted security. “We need immediate assistance in the lobby—someone is causing trouble here!”

Brenna stood unmoving, her cold gaze halting the approaching, arrogant guards in their tracks.

The guards activated their electric batons, one menacingly saying, “Consider this your final chance to walk away on your own. It’s going to hurt a lot if you don’t leave now.”

From a distance, Mia observed the scene. She believed Brenna was asking for trouble here. Considering that Brenna used to be her classmate, she spoke up. “Brenna, stop this madness. These guys are former military. You’re going to get hurt. You’d better leave now.”

Yet Mia’s eyes revealed her deeper desire: she secretly hoped the guards would teach Brenna a hard lesson, thinking that Brenna was too arrogant.

Suddenly, the elevator chimed, signaling Ethan’s arrival. He noticed the scene in the lobby, his eyes turning cold.

At that moment, the guards launched a coordinated attack on Brenna—one aiming high, the other low.

Seeing this, Ethan reacted with blinding speed, grabbing each guard by the collar and sending them flying.

The impact was even more severe this time, leaving the guards whirling from the pain.

The receptionists watched in shock, realizing that they had misjudged the situation earlier.

Ethan rushed to Brenna, his concern evident as he gently checked her for injuries. “Are you alright?” he asked tenderly.

Brenna nodded. She then turned toward the injured guards and said, “Should I call an ambulance for you guys?”

Caught off guard by Ethan’s warm attitude toward Brenna, the guards were too bewildered to respond.

Ethan’s tone grew cold as he said sharply, “Didn’t you hear her? Answer her.”

The guards quickly regained their composure, awkwardly rising from the floor while hiding their discomfort. One of them quickly said, “No need for that; we’re fine. We just didn’t realize who you were earlier. Our apologies for the misunderstanding.”

They were still confused about Brenna’s connection with Ethan, sensing it was significant.
