But Elsa was not scared. She nudged Minna to the side with a light hand, grateful for the gesture. This only confirmed what she had been feeling for stime-Minna was the one she wanted as her daughter-in-law.

"There's no need to stand in front of me, Minna. They wouldn't dare lay a finger on me." Tommy stood still, calm as ever. He'd been with Brenna from the start of her studays, had seen every rise and fall, and had never once stepped back when things got rough. He didn't see Elsa or Minna as threats. His role here was simple-to remind them that Brenna wasn't alone, and nobody could walk over her.

Elsa turned her glare on Brenna. “Well? Are you leaving or not? Because if you're planning to stay, I'll call security. If you don't want to be kicked out forcibly, you'd better leave now." Without blinking, Brenna pulled open the drawer and slid a folder onto the table. "I've rented the 57th and 58th floors of the Mitchell Group's headquarters. This is the lease. If you wantgone, you'll have to break the contract and pay the penalty." Elsa's face shifted. "You have a lease?" She had always assumed Ethan had given Brenna the space for free, no strings attached. As far as she was concerned, anything under the Mitchell Group's roof was hers. If she said someone had to leave, they needed to listen. Even Ethan needed to listen to her.

But now, a lease agreement had surfaced, and she was puzzled.

The lease agreement was barely a few pages long. Elsa skimmed through it, seeing nothing amiss. She then reached the second-to-last page. There, in stark print, was a clause about breaking the contract. If the Mitchell Group broke the lease and forced Brenna's company out early, they'd be slapped with a ten-billion-dollar penalty. "Ten billion dollars?" Elsa shouted. "This is outrageous! This contract can't be valid." New chapters now on Back when they had first drafted the agreement, Brenna had questioned the clause herself. But Ethan had insisted on it. He had told her it might cin handy, and now, it all made sense.

Ethan had anticipated his mother's reaction and made the agreement with her in mind.

Minna leaned in to read the clause for herself. "This isn't fair at all!" Brenna didn't flinch. Her voice stayed steady. "That doesn't matter to me. Everything's written down, stamped by both companies and signed by Ethan himself. We both agreed to it. If you wantgone, just pay the fee. As soon as that's settled, I'll be out the door." Elsa's fury erupted. "You manipulated my son into signing this ridiculous contract! I'm telling you now; this won't hold up in court. You need to leave!"

With that, she tore the contract to pieces. The content ison · Cor novelenglish.net!

Elsa's glare sharpened as she took in Brenna's calm expression. "You've got saudacity. Xve done everything to throw you out, and yet you keep hanging around."
