Chapter 305: Though Viper appeared gentlemanly, Brenna was well aware of his ruthless nature from previous encounters.
Viper looked at Brenna with disdain but was intrigued by her apparent lack of fear. He let his gaze linger on her for a moment before walking away.
As he entered his car, Viper instructed his bodyguard, "Find out more about that woman." The bodyguard nodded respectfully.
Brenna carefully removed the tiara and placed it back in its box. "Thank you," she said to Ethan.

Ethan led Brenna outside, engaging her in light conversation and offering warm smiles.
Meanwhile, hidden in the shadows, Viper's bodyguard took multiple photographs of Brenna from various angles. Though Brenna was difficult to investigate, Giselle was not. Her details were quickly passed on to Viper.
"So, it's her." Valeria glanced over the documents on the table, her voice tinged with slight surprise and a trace of respect. "Brenna was the one who dealt with Jay. I never imagined her to be so beautiful. Who would have thought? Not only stunning but also skilled in fighting." Viper's expression remained unreadable. "I have a feeling I've seen her before," he said.
Valeria's face darkened instantly. "You're not developing an interest in her, are you?" On Sunday, Brenna waited at the airport for Ellie's arrival.
Her phone suddenly rang-it was Ethan. His deep, soothing voice filled her ear. "Are you free now? How about we grab lunch together? I can pick you up." Brenna noticed several unread messages from Ethan, all asking if she was available for lunch.
Smiling, she replied, "Sorry, I'm busy this afternoon." She chose not to explain further, remembering Ellie's warning-she couldn't let Ethan know Ellie was coming, as he might pass the information to Jayceon.

Respecting her privacy, he didn't press further but suggested, "How about dinner instead?" Behind him, Neville quietly admired Brenna. To his knowledge, no one had ever refused Ethan before.
