HappyNovelChapter 411: "Is that your shipment?" Brenna asked.
"Indeed, it's a shipment of rare earth minerals," Ethan answered, his tone growing a bit distant. "A friend helped with the deal. She'll join us later; I owe her thanks." Brenna caught the subtle chill in his gaze but chose not to pry. Instead, she joined him on the deck, absorbing the view - seagulls weaving patterns across the sky, their calls blending with the ocean breeze.

Brenna found herself wondering about their swift reconciliation. Why would Ernst reconcile with a woman who only liked him for his money? Brenna met Sabine's provocative glare with a steely gaze. She was determined to make Sabine and Ernst break up.
"What brings you here?" Ernst asked Brenna, but his eyes quickly shifted to Ethan.
A faint smile tugged at the corners of Ethan's mouth. "I'm engaged to Brenna. Why would I bring anyone else?" Ernst was momentarily caught off guard before saying, "The open sea is dangerous. You shouldn't bring her here." He took hold of Brenna's arm and said, “You have to leave right now. We're heading into open waters, possibly staying overnight. It's not safe for you." He attempted to escort Brenna off the yacht.
Ethan interjected, "Hold on. I'm here to ensure her safety, and she'll return unharmed." Ethan's gaze sharpened as he fixed his eyes on Ernst, the meaning unmistakable — hadn't Ernst also brought someone who shouldn't be here? Why would Ernst keep a woman who had been disrespectful to Brenna by his side, even introducing her to friends? Brenna sensed that something was off about the situation.

Unfazed, Ethan responded, "As long as I'm here, she won't face any harm. You should worry about your woman instead." Jayceon patted Ethan's shoulder as he walked past him.
