The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 134 Chapter 134 I Won't Say It Again Harlan burst into laughter. "Are you out of your mind? Can't you see Jay's got guns? Do you really think you can outrun bullets?" "We're not here to outrun anything" Thiago firmly stated, unfazed. He knew how the underworld worked and had already expected them to arrive with weapons. Harlan, as useless as ever, had cwith backup, carrying guns. Disappointed but not surprised, Thiago ordered, "Hand the items over." Harlan let out a loud, smug laugh. His arrogance showed in the way he carried himself. At first, he'd worried Jay's men might fall to these two again. But now, Jay had guns, so he feared nothing He said, "I brought the goods. They're stashed right here. If you've got what it takes, go ahead and find them. But I doubt you'll even get the chance. Today, I'm going to make sure you regret ever crossing me. Thiago, I didn't think you'd actually show up. Throwing your life away for a diary and a handful of useless junk? It's not worth it. I never figured you'd turn out as foolish as your dead mother. Today, you'll learn what it means to wish you were dead." Suddenly, Harlan yelled at the gunmen behind him, "Break his legs!" The men glanced at Jay, then opened fire on Brenna and Thiago, who spun around and sprinted into the bushes.

"They're so stupid. Picking a place like this... It's a perfect place for us to hide from the bullets," Brenna said loudly, making sure Harlan and Jay could hear every word.

Jay's face twisted in fury. He slapped Harlan across the face and bellowed, "You idiot! With all this bush, once. they're hiding in them, how do you plan on finding them?" Harlan rubbed his face and mumbled, "I thought this place was abandoned. I figured it'd be easier to kill them out here. I didn't know it was such a good place to hide..." Jay spat out a curse. "Idiot." With a wave of his hand, he sent his men to track down Brenna and Thiago.

Regret churned in Harlan's gut. He saw now just how stupid he had been. Frustration boiled over inside him.

In the thick of the bushes, Brenna and Thiago didn't move a muscle. Each tsomeone got close, they knocked them out fast and clean. Not a single sound escaped the scuffle.

Half an hour crawled by. None of the men who had gone searching for Brenna and Thiago cback. Harlan and Jay felt a creeping sense of dread, especially the latter. The last the had faced them, he barely escaped with his life, so he kept his remaining men close.

He knew if he ended up alone with Harlan, the fool would get him killed "Let's get out of here now." Jay muttered.

Harlan stepped in front of him, desperate "Jay, don't! We haven't killed them yet." Jay slapped him again "Idiot! Look around you. Can't you see? Our men are already down!" Having no idea what Brenna and Thiago were capable of, Harlan shook his head in disbelief "No way Maybe they're just too scared to cout. We've got so many people with us. We can kill them." Jay stared at him, incredulous. He had never met anyone so thick-headed. "If you want to sit around and wait, go ahead. I'm out of here." "Stop! Don't move!" Just then, dozens of armed police officers emerged from the bushes, weapons ready Harlan stood frozen, completely blindsided. "I thought I told them not to call the cops!" Brenna and Thiago stepped out, both smirking at him.

Without a word, Ethan protectively moved in front of Brenna, shielding her in case the gang did something reckless in desperation.

The gang members turned on Jay and bolted, only to run straight into a wall of officers. Surrounded with nowhere to run, they dropped their weapons and surrendered.

Ethan turned to Brenna and said, "You shouldn't be here. It's too dangerous. No more of this. I'll only worry" Brenna nodded and looked up at him. "Alright. I'll listen to you." She reached for his hand and slipped hers into his. Together, they headed for the police station. The night's chaos required their cooperation with the investigation

On the way, Ethan glanced at Thiago and warned him, "Don't drag my om fiancée into this kind of mess again. Next time, won't let it slide. I don't care how close you are to her. I won't go easy on you." "My affairs are none of your concern," Thiago responded coldly Ethan said firmly, "I won't say it again. You'd better remember that." Thiago met his gaze with a cold stare. "Mr. Mitchell, I won't repeat myself, either." Brenna paid no attention to the tension between them. Her head stayed down, eyes fixed on her phone.

Ellie was in trouble abroad and couldn't make it back for the tbeing. Brenna was checking in on her, trying to understand the situation and offer what advice she could

It was a complicated situation. Ellie's work had been stolen, but she was ΟΠΙ the one being accused of plagiarism The case had gone to court, and it looked like she'd be stuck overseas for at least two months. "Should we ask Jayceon to help? From what I know, the Russell family has power and influence in Norview They might be able to help you," Brenna replied.
