Chapter 599: She replied to Giselle, "Yes. Ethan would never treatlike this, not uttering a word to me." Giselle's anger began to wane, and she started to view Elsa as rather foolish. She had always believed those in the military, like Elsa, were sharp, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

Elsa caught the disdainful look Giselle shot her and promptly ceased her whispering with Kenny.

Clearing her throat, Elsa announced, “This is Minna Davies, the woman I've chosen as a suitable match for Ethan. And Ethan is quite happy to be in Minna's company. I've brought you all here today to inform you that Ethan has found his true love, and he's here to break things off with you, Brenna." What Elsa didn't realize was that beneath the table, Brenna had already dialed Ethan, allowing him to overhear Elsa's words.

Listening in from the other end of the line, Ethan felt resigned. Elsa was being utterly absurd; how could she pull a stunt like this? Thankfully, Brenna had seen through the charade right away. Otherwise, Ethan knew he'd be unable to explain himself to her. Elsa was unaware that Brenna and Giselle had already seen through her act; she continued to play her part with unwavering seriousness.

"Ethan, tell them that you like Minna," she said.

Kenny's expression was taut. He disliked the current tense atmosphere, his lips pressed firmly together in silent protest.

Elsa jabbed him sharply under the table, prompting him to say, "Yes, and I'm dating Minna." He avoided the scrutinizing gazes of Brenna and Giselle, feeling the weight of their judgment.

Giselle smirked. "Kenny, you're a soldier. Soldiers are trained to uphold integrity. How could you lie?" Source of truth: nosAt that, Kenny blurted out, "When did you figure it out?" Elsa's fury bubbled over. She pinched Kenny's thigh, hissing under her breath, "She's just tricking you! How could she possibly know?" Kenny could no longer maintain the facade. Raising his voice, he declared, "Mom, I told you this plan was doomed from the start. Giselle saw right through it. Besides, Brenna and Ethan are close; how could she not notice that I was pretending to be Ethan?" With that, he stood up abruptly and stormed out of the room. Minna bit her lip, feeling embarrassed, wishing she could vanish into thin air.

Elsa was seething but refused to back down.

"Giselle, Brenna, you know where I stand clearly now, kom firmly against Ethan marrying Brenna," she said.

"Mrs. Harper, since you've already graced us with your presence, why don't we all sit down and have a meal together?" Elsa's voice dripped with a veneer of cordiality that barely masked her underlying sarcasm.

Rising to her feet, Giselle pulled Brenna up with her. “No need. There's m no point in pretending here. We won't waste another second of your precious twith your future daughter-in-law."
