The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows novel Chapter 259

Chapter 259 Have You No

Shame

As the low hum of whiskey–fueled business discussions filled the air, Brenna and Lilith found solace in a serene corner, sipping on cocktails so light they might as well have been beverages.

Brenna couldn’t help but see a reflection of herself in Lilith. They both carried an air of reserved coolness, likely

coming from their unfamiliarity.

Their dialogue sometimes stumbled into silence, prompting both to retreat to the digital comfort of their

smartphones.

As she observed Lilith, Brenna noticed that she made no effort to impress Ernst, even though the Harper family

was rich and powerful.

Brenna found herself drawn to the ease in Lilith’s manner. Lilith had shown up in laid–back clothes, nothing flashy or overly styled. Aside from the light color on her lips and her neatly shaped brows, there wasn’t a single sign that she had dressed up to date Ernst.

This authenticity resonated deeply with Brenna.

Upon returning home, Brenna asked Ernst, “Did you break up with Sabine?”

Ernst gave a quiet nod in response. Back when things had ended between them, he had come to see just how much Sabine valued wealth. She had asked for ten million as a parting price, saying it was only fair after all the affection, time, and efforts she had given him over the years.

Sabine knew exactly what she was doing. The moment the money landed in her account, she gave her word that she would keep everything that had happened between her and Ernst buried for good.

Sensing Ernst’s reluctance to delve into the breakup details, Brenna merely said, “Lilith seems genuine, unlike

Sabine.”

Ernst merely shrugged. His interaction with Lilith had been subdued; their words were scarce as both he and Lilith were naturally reserved.

Ernst admitted he didn’t know much about charming women. When he had been dating Sabine, she had always been the one to keep the conversation alive.

“If you and Mom approve of her, that’s good enough for me,” Ernst stated casually.

Brenna laughed, saying, “You’re the one who is dating her, not Mom or me. Next time, maybe bring a gift to her when you meet her. Take a leaf out of Ethan’s book–he always brings me small gifts when we meet.”

She flaunted the rose Ethan had given her.

Ernst rolled his eyes. He had known Ethan since childhood and knew him to be emotionally detached. Since
