Chapter 1285:
Feeling joyful, Brenna offered her hand, letting her coworkers admire the ring as much as they pleased.
“How did | never notice before? Brenna, your hands are gorgeous. This ring was made for you!”
“It looks incredible on you!”
“The ring is so shiny!”
“This ring is definitely one-of-a-kind. It must have cost a fortune!”
“If only | could wear something like this one day...”
“Well, one can always dream.”
Cameras clicked in quick succession.
Everyone was excited to see such a massive diamond ring up close. Phones flashed as photos were taken,
shared, and a few people even posed beside Brenna’s hand for pictures.
Brenna stayed patient, letting herself be part of the excitement, smiling for photos with her coworkers every now
and then.

owned the place.
“You look like you're having a good day. There's something you need to see—check your phone,” Thiago said,
not bothering to move his feet from Brenna’s desk.
Brenna paid him no mind, sitting down and opening her messages. There, she found a long text from Thiago
waiting.
She read it, and her mood instantly shifted. “Threatening to kill my family? That's pretty gutsy. Is this coming
from that organization in Nor-view?”
Thiago nodded. “Right. The Contractor is from Vanland, and they're offering serious money for the job. Dozens of
hitmen have already taken the contract. Whoever’s behind this isn’t giving up easily. Who do you think wants
you dead?”

Brenna barely needed to think. Only one nmade sense—Rosie.
Lately, Rosie had been acting out of character, dropping her usual bravado and trying a bit too hard to please
everyone in the family. She had becalmost servile to their grandmother, always apologizing for upsetting
their grandfather and playing the part of the misunderstood victim.
“I'm guessing Rosie,” Brenna said, her tone icy as she read the message over and over.
“You'd better talk to your brother and tighten security,” Thiago said. “You can’t afford to let anything catch you
off guard.”
“If Rosie crosses the line, | won't show any mercy this time. | won't let her get away with it. Without our contacts
in the organization, she might have already pulled it off.” Brenna found Braeden’s number in her phone and
made the call. “Braeden, I've run into trouble. | need your help...”
“Someone’s bold enough to go after our protected military asset? Don’t worry about a thing. If they set foot in
this country, they won't be walking out alive,” Braeden said, his anger barely contained. Most people had no
idea, but Brenna’s current role as a military researcher made her an especially protected figure.
If Brenna hadn’t turned down official protection to avoid attention, the military would have assigned her a
security detail.
Thiago watched in silence as more alerts popped up on his phone. Without a word, he forwarded everything to
Brenna.
