Chapter 120 Her Boyfriend


    Han''s eyes burned red with rage as he grabbed Thiago''s shirt. He shook him hard, pouring every ounce of fury and pain into the motion.


    He didn''t care that his fingers had just been operated on. He didn''t care if the wounds tore open again. Right now, he was ready to go down swinging if it meant taking Thiago with him


    "Do you hate the Moreno family that much after everything we did for you? This family raised you, and this is how you repay us? You ungrateful bastard! I''ll beat you to death for what you did to Dad!" he bellowed, his Voiceing out raw and broken.


    With that, Han yanked one hand free and raised it to strike Thiago.


    However, Thiago had expected his move. Before Han couldnd a blow, Thiago''s fist connected with his face.


    Han stumbled back, thrown off bnce by the punch. He caught himself against the edge of the table, but the impact sent a sharp jolt through his injured hand. The pain hit him hard, draining the color from his face. He believed his reattached fingers might have torn open again. And this time, the condition might not be


    fixable.


    He looked at his hand, and his face contorted with pain. Then, he looked up at Thiago, fury zing in his eyes. "Will you only be satisfied when you''ve destroyed our entire family?" he asked.


    He jabbed a finger toward the door. "Did you see that? They''ve taken Dad away. The Moreno family is finished! Do you even understand what you''ve done? What the hell do you think this will get you?"


    Thiago straightened his clothes with calm, deliberate movements. Then, he stepped forward and fired back, "You want to know what this will get me? You really want to know? It''s justice for my mother. When you killed her, you sealed your fate. Don''t act surprised now. You brought this on yourselves. You all deserve it."


    "That''s nonsense!" Han growled, struggling to stay upright as his fury boiled over. "Your mother was killed by my mother. If you''re out for revenge, then take it out on her! Why tear down the entire Moreno family? Dad raised you, you ungrateful bastard! You really think you are doing the right thing now?"


    He couldn''t wrap his head around it. Thiago had been cast out with nothing-no wealth, no power. Yet somehow, he had managed to bring the entire Moreno family down


    Han''s eyesnded on Brenna, and the pieces clicked into ce. He jabbed a finger at her and spat, "It''s her, isn''t it? She helped you ruin us. She''s the Harper family''s daughter. I see it now. You two were together from the start. That night at the Imperial Bar-she helped you, and you protected her. You''ve been working together this whole time!"


    "I never thought you''d stoop so low. Pathetic! If you had any real backbone, you''d have taken down the Moreno family on your own. Relying on a woman? What kind of man does that make you?" Han seethed.


    He was throwing every insult he had, desperate to drag Thiago down with him. If he couldn''t live in luxury anymore, then ''Thiago shouldn''t have it easy, either.

    He let out a sharp, mockingugh “Miss Harper, you sure know how to y your cards juggling two men like that epting Mr. Mitchell''s proposal while sneaking around with Thiago. You''re shameless!"


    hist as Han finished talking, Ethan stepped forward and struck tim hard across the face. "Watch your mouth," he said coldly. He wouldn''t allow anyone to insult Brenna like that.


    The pnded with a crock, far harder than Thiago''s had, and even knocked Han''s teeth out.


    Brenna felt touched. She had expected Ethan to doubt her after Han''s usations. But instead, he up for her without a second thought


    had stoo


    stood


    Rosie, on the other hand, lookedpletely thrown off by what she was seeing. She turned to Ethan and said, "Ethan, I think he has a point. Brenna has a boyfriend, and yet she epted your proposal. Isn''t she cheating on his boyfriend?"


    Ethan''s gaze turned sharp and cold. He looked straight at Rosie and replied through gritted teeth, "Say one more word against Brenna, and you''ll regret it."


    Rosie flinched under his stare. She quickly fell silent.


    She bit her lip, unwilling to ept what was happening. Ethan was supposed to side against Brenna. But in reality, he had chosen to trust her.


    Rosie''s thoughts spun wildly. She had to find a way to make Ethan believe Brenna wasn''t who she seemed


    he really your boyfriend?" Rosie asked Brenna, pretending to be shocked. She looked at Brenna, wide-eyed "If you were already seeing someone, why ept Ethan''s proposal? What were you nning? Did you think Ethan was some kind of fool?"


    Brenna shot her a cold re. "My personal life is none of your business," she said.


    Rosie was pleased by her response. Brenna wasn''t denying it. She wasn''t exining anything, either. That had to mean there was something going on between her and the man.


    Was Brenna hoping Ethan would misunderstand?


    This was even better.


    "How is it none of my business?" Rosie shot back. "The Harper family has always stood for integrity and proper. conduct. No one in our family has ever done anything so shameless. You''ve brought disgrace to us, Brenna. So yes, what you do concerns me. You owe everyone here an exnation. What exactly is your rtionship with


    this man?"


    Thiago stood off to the side, quietly watching Brenna. He knew her well enough to understand she wasn''t the type to fall for someone easily. She was guarded and reserved.


    And Ethan... He wasn''t careless with his feelings, either. If he had confessed his feelings for Brenna in public, it


    meant he was serious.


    Still, Brenna didn''t say a word. She didn''t confirm or deny anything, so Thiago kept quiet, too.


    Rosie tugged on Ethan''s arm and said, "Ethan, did you even deny it!"


    ou see that? I said the man is her boyfriend, and she didn''t
