Chapter 789:
Vincent's third daughter-in-law, Lois Mitchell, also stepped in to support Brenna. “Exactly. | asked Ethan about it
before. Miss Harper didn’t mean to embarrass you. Besides, you're just a singer. So what if you were asked to
perform at the party? That is your job.”
Elsa was seething. “What's that supposed to mean—just a singer? I'm a performer, a vocalist with national
recognition and a military rank! How dare you talk aboutlike that?”
Though Elsa and Lois often clashed in private, their spats rarely escalated this far.
Lois gave a short laugh. “Did | say anything untrue? You're still just a singer. Quit acting like you're snational
treasure. Your position doesn’t give you the authority to pressure your son into a marriage he doesn’t want or to
expect the rest of us to do as you say.”
Ethan felt a headache coming on. This was Brenna’s first tvisiting his family, and she had to witness such a
scene.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSierra stepped in, trying to defuse the tension. “That's enough from both of you. Stop bickering. Miss Harper
doesn’t chere often, and she brought a very generous gift this time. Isn't that considerate of her? Elsa, |
really believe she is a genuinely kind girl. Do you have any idea how much Cason spent on the medicine Vincent
used back then?”
Elsa, who hadn't been involved in the matter, had no idea how much the medicine had cost.
“I don’t know. But they're just pills; how expensive could that possibly be?” she said.
“One pill costs ten million. Sure, we're not strapped for cash, but even for us, that’s no small amount. Ethan paid
for the medicine, but even then, it was only through Brenna’s connections that the Pierce family agreed to sell it.
The medicine is incredibly rare; people would do almost anything to get it. Even with money, getting it is hard.”
Sierra then glanced at Ethan, prompting him to speak up.
“We only got the medicine because | asked for Brenna's help,” Ethan said. “The Pierce family agreed to sell the
medicine solely because of her. Mom, Brenna’s a good person. As long as you treat her kindly, she’ll always show
you respect.”
“Showrespect?” Elsa scoffed. “Don’t try to change my mind. The matter you are discussing has nothing to
do with me.”
Still seething, Elsa rose to her feet and walked off. It used to be just Ethan opposing her, but now, the entire
Mitchell family seemed to be siding against her.
Brenna clearly knew how to win people over, she thought.
