Chapter 260 Cheating On You With Your Best Friend

Typically, Brenna and Thiago would have neutralized any threat before a strike could even be felt.

However, this was Ellie’s mother, making retaliation out of the question.

“Tori!” Brenna choked back her annoyance, dodging Tori’s wild swings.

Defensively, Thiago put up his arms, saying, “Tori, let me explain…”

Tori didn’t bother with fancy manners or sugar–coated words. To her, the situation was simple–Thiago was fooling around with Brenna, making no effort to hide it, and acting bold enough to flaunt the affair where anyone passing by could witness it.

As she lashed out at Thiago, she yelled insults. Her barrage of accusations flew as she shouted, “One of you is Ellie’s boyfriend, and the other her best friend. How could you betray Ellie like this? I’ll teach you a hard lesson!”

Tightening her jaw, Brenna found Tori’s antics ridiculous. Thiago attempted to get a word in, but Tori’s loud complaints smothered his explanations.

Stepping in, Brenna pulled Tori away, her grip firm and unexpectedly strong, causing significant pain to Tori Dramatically, Tori screamed, “These shameless people are trying to kill me!”

The entire restaurant’s patrons turned their gazes towards them, with whispers of judgment beginning to

spread.

Tori kept shouting at the top of her lungs, carrying on as though Brenna had tried to harm her. The people nearby didn’t hesitate to chime in, accusing Brenna of using her youth to bully someone older and more

vulnerable.

Annoyed, Brenna despised such baseless attacks and the judgment before understanding the situation from Tori, typical of self–entitled seniors.

Her hold remained firm as she confronted Tori coldly. “What exactly did you think you saw? Must you scream without understanding the full story?”

Tori wasn’t the type to back down easily. Her features scrunched up in pain, but she brushed off the question and raised her voice even more, screaming, “Someone help! They’re trying to kill me!”

The uproar caught the attention of the restaurant staff and the manager.

Approaching them, the manager suggested diplomatically, “Miss, maybe it’s best to let her go? We must be careful with the elderly. Any harm to her could bring serious consequences.”

Recognizing the manager’s genuine concern, Brenna guessed that Ellie might be somewhere close. Further

confrontation would only complicate matters for her.

With a sigh of frustration, Brenna released her hold..

Tori, still overacting, rubbed her wrist and said, “You think this makes it right? You are shameless!”

Thiago felt utterly bewildered by Tori’s accusations and tried to pacify her with patience. “Tori, you need to calm down. We can talk this through. Brenna is my boss, and we were merely discussing business just now. There is nothing between us.”

“Liar!” shouted Tori, spitting the word with such force that drops of saliva sprayed from her mouth. “Since when do people sit so close to discuss work? Don’t think I didn’t notice–you two had your heads so near, you might as well have been kissing. What a disgusting behavior in public!”

With his hands balled into fists, Thiago restrained himself solely because of Tori’s connection to Ellie.

Tori’s accusations grew wilder, slinging mud at Thiago’s family and threatening to prevent any marriage between him and Ellie.

A fury smoldered within Thiago, yet he forced himself to stay composed. He knew better than to act on his

anger.
