Chapter 96 Brenna''s Fiancé
Brenna sat beside Ethan at the end of the card table, waiting for Things to join them. The dealer, an elegant woman dressed in high fashion, held the deck of cards, poised and ready to begin.
Meanwhile, Han was still reeling from the beating he had taken. His limbs weren''t broken, but the pain was
excruciating, leaving him barely able to move.
Just then, Thiago reached for a small box handed to him by someone behind him. He opened it, and inside was
a syringe and a clear ampoule filled with white liquid.
"What are you doing?" Han blurted out, fear gripping him. His pretending of being unconscious shattered in
an instant. Terror twisted his features as he scrambled backward. He knew exactly what that substance was
Once it entered his system, there would be no way out for the rest of his life.
He eximed in fear, "Don''te any closer! 1-I''m begging you. Sure, my mother did your mother dirty, but I
had nothing to do with it! I was just a kid back then. If anyone is to me, it''s her, not me!"
Han''s wide, terror-stricken eyes remained locked on the disposable syringe. He had every reason to believe Thiago had lost his mind and that he no longer cared whether he had taken part in the harm done to his
mother all those years ago.
Han continued, "Thiago, please! You can''t do this! Every debt has its source. You can''t take this out on me!
It was my father who made my mother treat yours that way. If you want revenge, go after them, not me!"
Thiago let out a derisive snort but didn''t move any closer. Instead, he fixed Han with a cold stare and asked, "Are you ready to join Brenna at the card table now?"
Han had no choice. Gritting his teeth, he forced himself up from the floor and took a seat across from
Brenna and Ethan.
Brenna smiled faintly and exchanged a subtle nce with Thiago. Then, she turned to Ethan and said, "Mr. Mitchell, let me introduce you to someone. This is my friend and business partner in both my studios, Mr.
Thiago Moreno."
It was only then that Ethan realized Thiago and Brenna were already well acquainted. He extended his hand and met Thiago''s with a firm handshake. The hostility in their eyes was unmistakable.
Ethan''s sharp eyes caught the way Thiago looked at Brenna. It wasn''t the gaze of a mere business partner. It
was the look of a man deeply in love.
"Hello, Mr. Moreno. I''m Brenna''s fiancé, Ethan Mitchell," Ethan stated. The words weren''t just an introduction. They were a warning for Thiago to keep his distance from Brenna.
In truth, Ethan wanted more than that. If he had his way, Brenna and Thiago wouldn''t just limit their interactions. They''d stop working together altogether. But, of course, Ethan kept his thoughts to himself.

Chapter 96 Brenna''s Fiance
Brenna let out a sigh and began, "Mr. Mitchell, I didn''t reject your proposal yesterday because of your status. Turning you down in front of so many people would''ve been humiliating for you. In fact, I don''t want to-"
Ethan sensed Brenna''s indifference toward him but remained Anfazed. A man of his caliber never epted defeat so easily. He believed someone as exceptional as him would win her over eventually. It was only a
matter of time.
Before Brenna could finish speaking, he cut her off, saying, "No. Since you epted my proposal yesterday, you''re now my fiancée. I''ve already changed all my profile pictures on social media to our photos. It''s public
now. You can''t back out."
Thiago, who had been watching closely, noticed Brenna''s reluctance and remarked, “Mr. Mitchell, you''re being too forceful. Brenna hasn''t given her full consent. How can you announce the matter publicly? That''s unfair to
her."
Ethan shot Thiago a cold re. He said, "This has nothing to do with you, Brenna doesn''t dislike me. I just got ahead of myself, and that might upset her a little. That''s all. I''m telling you-don''t meddle in our affairs."
"Mr. Mitchell-" Brenna began, but she was cut off by Ethan again.
Ethan''s expression softened into a smile. He said, "Call me by my nam public, I''ll change the photos right now. I don''t want you to be upset."
If you don''t want our rtionship
Without waiting for a response, he handed his phone to Neville, who stood silently behind him. "Change all my profile pictures back," Ethan said.
Neville stared at his boss for a beat. Since when had his boss started acting sopliant toward a woman?
Still, he gave a curt nod and said, "Yes, I''ll take care of it now."
Brenna felt a wave of resignation wash over her. Ethan was too stubborn. But with
so many people around, this wasn''t the right ce or time to discuss their rtionship. They needed to find a private ce to talk about the
matterter.
Meanwhile, Thiago sat in frustration. He wanted to speak up for Brenna, but then, his eyes fell on the ring on her finger. His chest tightened, realizing she didn''t dislike Ethan.
A dull ache settled in his heart. If he had known she could be won over this easily,
he would have confessed his feelings and proposed to her long ago.
He had been a little toote.
Still, it was fine. Brenna wasn''t married yet. He believed he still had a chance.
Meanwhile, Han had already sent out several messages on his phone.
He thought he just had to wait for his father to arrive. Once that happened, Thiago would pay dearly for every
bit of suffering he had endured today.
At the table, the dealer disyed the deck of cards, then began shuffling with practiced ease.
Han had gambled here before, but this was his first time ying at a million- dor table and facing the brutal tradition of losing a finger in high-stakes games. However, he wasn''t worried. His card skills were unmatched. He had never met a worthy opponent before.

He believed Brenna was in for a cruel surprise. Even with Ethan by her side, she would still need to have her finger cut off after losing
