?Chapter 678:


    Her chest rose and fell with fury. She hurled the torn-up contract at Brenna’s face, the paper fluttering like confetti.


    But Brenna had seen iting. She calmly raised the intact contract from the table to shield herself, then met Elsa’s eyes without flinching. “Unless you want the police involved, I suggest you leave. I’ve paid the rent. This is my workspace now, and you don’t get to barge in and make a scene here.”


    Seeing that neither Elsa nor Minna intended to leave, Tommy pulled out his phone and dialed 911. He held up the screen to show Elsa and Minna.


    Elsa looked at the screen, gave a sharp huff through her nose, and stormed off.


    She had a reputation to maintain—her fans and the school could never know she was arrested for harassment. It was this consideration that made her leave.


    Greta, who had been lingering by the doorway, stepped in and began gathering the shredded scraps scattered across the table and floor. She looked up and said, “Brenna, maybe it’s time we hired some security guards. What if shees back to stir up trouble again?”


    “No need to worry. She’s not likely to return,” Brenna said coldly, well aware of how fiercely public figures guarded their image.


    As someone in the public eye, Dalton had offered perspectives that had inspired Brenna.


    As Greta walked out, she also took away the two untouched coffees. Tommy nced at Brenna and asked, “What makes you so sure she’s noting back?”


    Brenna replied smoothly, “You’ve heard of Elsa before, right?”


    Tommy let out a lowugh. “Are you kidding? I grew up with her songs sting through the house. Of course, I’ve heard of her.”


    “Then what do you think of her now?” Brenna asked.


    Tommy caught on right away. “She’s got a public image to protect. An arrest would cause way more damage than coughing up some penalty fee.”


    Brenna gave a slight nod. “Exactly. That’s why I doubt she’ll show up here again. If it were me, I’d send someone else to stir things up. Someone without a reputation to lose.”

    “She could easily find someone to deal with you since she is the CEO’s mother. Lending her a hand could pay off big time.”


    After a short exchange, Tommy left, exining the situation to the team so they could get back to business.


    Once things settled, Brenna messaged Ethan to fill him in on what had happened.


    Ethan replied almost instantly, “So? Did youe out on top?”


    “I came out on top.”


    “Nice. What did you do to pull it off?” Ethan asked.


    Brenna replied, “I threatened to call the police.”


    “Bold. If the police had arrested her, she’d be blowing up on every tform by now. You’re amazing. I’m heading to the hospital this afternoon to visit Jayceon, so I can’t have lunch with you. Be sure to eat on time.”


    Brenna replied, “No need to report your whereabouts to me.”
