HappyNovelChapter 414: Sabine also approached and spoke up. "Apologize to her right now, Brenna. Miss Hewitt isn't like the rest of us. You can't just treat her however you want. You have no idea what it will cost you if you offend her." She wanted to mention that Jade had her sights set on Ethan and that Brenna should step aside. However, unwilling to risk offending Ethan, she kept that part to herself.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBrenna almost admired the nerve it took for Sabine to mock her in front of Ernst. Why wasn't she afraid that Ernst would be angry at what she had just said? Jade's lips curled at Sabine's behavior. So this was Brenna's future sister-in-law? Sabine clearly disliked Brenna and was making things difficult for her. "Ernst," Brenna said flatly, "your girlfriend is helping an outsider make things difficult for me." Ernst's face darkened. He glared at Sabine, his voice sharp. "Why are you interfering? This is none of your business." Sabine shrank back, scrambling for words. "I'm actually trying to protect her! The Hewitts could crush the Harpers like ants. There's no need for the Harper family to offend the Hewitt family just because of her." Seizing the moment, Jade slid her arm through Ethan's and purred, "At least I bring something to the table. What does your little girlfriend do besides take up space?" Ethan peeled her off coldly. "I can handle my own business. The Ward family is powerful, but their influence isn't as strong as you think. As for you? You don't even hold much sway in your own family." Jade's lips tightened. Ethan had struck a nerve. Her full nwas Jade Ward Hewitt, though few people knew that. Her grandfather, Kyle Ward, had been an infamous crlord. While she was one of his more capable grandchildren, real power in the family had never been hers to claim.
Ethan had figured this out during his recent dealings with them. The four great families of Shirie were unaware of this, assuming she held great sway in the Ward family.
Jade's interest in Ethan wasn't just about affection. His empire might be the key she needed to take control of the family business.

She took a calm, measured step back and said in a low voice, "Deny it all you like, but my help saved your life this time.” Sabine suspected Jade wanted Ethan to repay that favor with a wedding ring. But it was obvious Ethan had no intention of such a thing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeizing the opportunity, Sabine said, "Mr. Mitchell, you should show sgratitude toward Miss Hewitt for saving you. Otherwise, you'd look ungrateful.” Ernst's eyes narrowed. How dare Sabine say something like that to Ethan? "No one asked for your opinion," he said sharply to Sabine.
Jade's eyes lit up with interest as she looked at Sabine. She believed she could be useful to her. "Mr. Harper, who is this? Is she your fiancée?"
Sabine grinned before Ernst had a chance to respond. "We'll announce our engagement-soon-You must attend our engagement party, Miss Hewitt."
