The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 191 Chapter 191 I Don't Want The Barrett Group To Be...

"I understand you resent us, but you can't let the Barrett Group collapse. How about this, have your father give us a few orders, just billions of dollars' worth will do. Help Barrett Group through this tough tand let it rise again as a way to repay us for all we've done for you." Ruby continued to speak, her eyes locked on Brenna. She knew from past interactions that Brenna was listening to her.

After a pause, she added, "We raised you, and that's the truth, whether you acknowledge it or not. You can't abandon the Barrett family and let the Barrett Group fall apart like this. Wouldn't you be worried about being seen as heartless? People will call you cruel for this, saying you-" Brenna, visibly annoyed, interjected, "Are you finished? Yes, you raised me, but I've settled that debt long ago. Haven't I already contributed enough designs for the Barrett Group? I helped it expand from a small factory to the Barrett Group it is today, even getting it listed. I don't owe you anything. You should leave now." Tommy promptly stepped forward, took hold of Ruby's arm, and began pulling her out of the room.

Ruby was seething. "What you said isn't right! You haven't repaid us enough. You need to stop the Harper Group from bringing down the Barrett Group and give us more orders. Only then will you have fully repaidfor raising you. Otherwise, I won't let this go." "Leave now!" Brenna said firmly. "If you don't go, I'll ensure the Barrett Group goes bankrupt tomorrow!" Ruby, infuriated, exclaimed, "You wouldn't dare! If you do that, I won't let you off easily!" Tommy forcefully led her out.

Brenna let out a deep sigh. "What a nuisance." She puzzled over how Ruby had managed to locate her studio.

Tommy soon returned to Brenna's office. "The Barrett family used you for years, and they're still not satisfied. Now that you've left that hellhole, she has the nerve to csee you and ask you to help them? She is shameless." Brenna said, "She is indeed shameless. Next tshe shows up, don't bother being polite to her. If she starts on about being my mother or raising me, just ignore her and drive her away." Tommy, still upset about the earlier incident, couldn't hold back his irritation.

He said, "She chere this morning, flaunting her role as your adoptive mother to push us around, even asking when our stuwas founded. When she found out it was five years ago, she claimed the stushould belong to the Barrett family since you were still underage at that time. She argued that legally, all your assets 0.0% 10:53 +1x+ ||| 0 < < Chapter 191 I Don't Want The Barrett Group To Be Around Any Longer from before you were an adult would be the Barrett family's. I argued with her, and her audacity was astounding. She even asked about our yearly incand your personal savings." Brenna laughed derisively. "Savings? What savings? Any savings I might have had already went to the Barrett. family. She knows this very well but pretends otherwise. If I don't set her straight, she'll think I am easy to push around." Tommy's expression grew stern. "People like her don't deserve any respect To be honest, I think you've been too lenient with the Barrett Group." Brenna nodded and called Thiago. "I don't want the Barrett Group to be around any longer." On the other end of the line, Thiago's voice was calm. "Don't worry. In a week, the Barrett Group will be gone from Shirie." After a pause, he added, "By the way, you've been invited to the International Economic Forum in Cliffdell. The event is in three months. Will you attend?" A smile broke across Brenna's face. "Absolutely. I missed out last time, and this is a wonderful chance; I won't miss it." After ending the call, Brenna gathered her belongings and left the office.

She had just settled into her car in the parking garage when her phone vibrated with a message from Ellie. "Csave me! Jayceon is drivinginsane." A location pin followed. Brenna sent a quick response.

"On my way," She drove out of the garage, accelerating quickly. It wasn't long before she arrived at a high-end restaurant.

Ellie, dressed elegantly, was waiting for her at the entrance, looking frustrated. Brenna handed her keys to the valet and approached Ellie.

"Why are you dressed like this? Are you planning to marry Jayceon now?" she teased, linking arms with !! they entered the restaurant.

Ellie was furious. "Absolutely not! The Russell family is nothing but trouble, and I won't becpart of it. You wouldn't believe how furious I am, O Can you imagine? I've ended up with Ο alson who sides with outsiders! Jayceon took Patrick out today, and he bought sclothes for me. I don't know what he had told Patrick, but when they got back, Patrick insisted I wear this and draggedhere to dinner." Brenna raised an eyebrow. "And you actually went along with it?"

Her incredulous look said it all. She was well aware that Ellie was not one to be easily swayed, not even By her own son. Yet, she had relented this time. Brenna looked at Ellie in shock, eager to understand what had led her to do this.

Ellie seethed with anger, saying, "Jayceon threatened to inform the Russell family of my son's existence if I didn't do it. Do you realize what kind of people the Russell family members are? They are all ruthless. I'm not about to let my son get caught up with them." 100.0% 10:53
