MainNovelChapter 1351:
The next day was the weekend. Brenna slept in until ten, applied a touch of makeup, and set out to meet Lilith,
with Libby and Finley tagging along, Finley at the wheel. Even on a casual outing, Finley stayed vigilant, scanning
for anything suspicious.
Lilith, a finance student, had been placed by Ernst in the Harper Group's finance department. She was starting at
an entry-level role to hone her skills. Ernst’s long-term plan was to involve her in the company’s investment
projects, eventually setting her up to run a venture capital firm once she had gained enough experience, given
the Harper Group's extensive annual investments.
Lilith waited outside her hfor Brenna, bundled in a white knee-length down coat. The car pulled up
smoothly, and Brenna leaned out the window with a cheerful wave. “Lilith, jump in!”
Despite the cold weather, the car’s cozy interior enveloped Lilith in warmth. “It's so cozy in here,” she said,
settling in.
The car left the neighborhood, and Libby was waiting by the roadside, holding several croissants and hot coffee.

Lilith glanced at the two new faces and remembered that Brenna’s previous bodyguards were different. “Did you
change bodyguards?” she asked.
“Yes, these two are quite skilled,” Brenna said, introducing Libby and Finley with confidence.
Leaning closer, Brenna whispered, “They're armed, so it feels extra safe.”
Lilith’s eyes widened. “They carry guns?” She studied them curiously, sensing they weren't typical bodyguards.
She had heard from Ernst about Brenna’s secretive military collaboration and knew to keep it quiet.
A thought struck her. “They're connected to the military?” Lilith asked, her eyes gleaming with fascination. She
marveled at Brenna’s capabilities, feeling fortunate to be able to marry Ernst soon. She believed every member
of the Harper family was outstanding.
Brenna gave a slight nod. “Yes.”
Lilith’s attention shifted to Libby’s waist. “Can | see your gun?”
Libby, unfazed, drew her handgun, unloaded it, and passed it to Lilith.
“It’s heavier than | expected,” Lilith said, inspecting it with curiosity but handling it carefully, wary of accidentally
setting it off. After a moment, she handed it back. “I'm terrified | would somehow make it fire.”
Libby deftly reloaded and holstered the weapon. “It was empty—no risk of that,” she said.
They soon pulled up to a vibrant shopping street lined with upscale boutiques offering everything from designer
wear to luxury goods. Finley parked the car, and the group of four began their outing, with Finley and Libby
staying vigilant, their eyes constantly scanning the surroundings. Brenna’s work on upgrading the military's
fighter jet system made her a critical asset, and they couldn't afford any slip-ups.
Brenna’s goal for the day was to help Lilith pick out clothes, shoes, bags, makeup, and fragrances. Having
shopped with Brenna often, Lilith was now comfortable with high-end brands, unbothered by price tags reaching
hundreds of thousands. She wasn’t fussy about fashion, happy with anything comfortable, so Brenna took
charge, selecting items that matched Lilith’s style.
Their stroll soon led them into a jewelry store, where Brenna encouraged Lilith to browse.
“Spot anything you like? Pearls, gold, gemstones, agate—let’s grab a few sets of each,” Brenna said.
