?Chapter 848:


    After chatting with Perry for a while, Brenna felt a gentle tug on her sleeve. Turning around, she saw Lilith smiling at her.


    “Hey, when did you get here?” Brenna asked, guiding Lilith over to the dessert table. She grabbed two slices of cake and poured a ss of blueberry juice before they settled in a quiet spot nearby.


    “I just came with your brother,” Lilith replied, tipping her chin toward Ernst.


    Not far off, Ernst was in conversation with Ethan and a few uniformed officers. Brenna realized she hadn’t noticed Ernst’s arrival, too wrapped up in her own chat with Perry earlier.


    “This dress looks amazing on you,” Brennamented, unable to hide how striking Lilith looked. The dress hugged her frame perfectly, giving her an air of effortless elegance.


    “Ernst actually picked it out with me,” Lilith said, shaking her head as if still in disbelief. “You won’t believe how much it cost—four million and eight hundred thousand! Such a high price for just a dress. I said it was too expensive, but Ernst insisted it wasn’t.”


    Lilith let out a quiet sigh. “Honestly, I think your brother just enjoys splurging on things.”


    Brenna grinned. “You’ll get used to it. If he insists on buying it for you, just let him. You wearing it is all he wants to see.”


    Lilith’s gaze drifted to Brenna’s outfit. “What about your dress? Did Mr. Mitchell buy this one for you? I heard thest one you wore to his ce was worth seven million. You only wore it for that one asion. That is wild!”


    There was something sweet about Lilith’s genuine surprise. She clearly hadn’t adapted to thevish ways of the rich. Brenna said, “Actually, a friend gave me this one, so I’m not sure how much it costs. Ethan had nothing to do with it.”


    Lilith nodded, thinking that Brenna wasn’t quite as extravagant as Ernst.


    A momentter, Lilith dug into her purse and shed a card at Brenna. “See this? Your brother gave this to me and told me to go shopping. I think he’s tired of seeing me in budget outfits. I want to try picking out something fancy, but I have no idea where to start. Would you go shopping with me next time and help me with it? I could really use some help.”

    “Of course. That sounds fun!” Brenna grinned, already warming to the idea. “Let’s hit the shops together this weekend. I also need a wardrobe refresh for myself.”


    Although Brenna had mingled for quite a while, she hadn’t caught sight of Minna or Kenny. It wasn’t until nearly eleven-thirty that the stars of the day finally made their entrance.


    Kenny stepped out first in a sharp royal blue suit tailored to perfection. Minna, in a ssic white wedding gown, glided beside him.


    The entire crowd shifted its attention to the newly arrived couple. Curiosity got the best of Brenna as she tried to catch a glimpse of Minna’s headpiece, wondering which tiara Minna had chosen since she had refused to lend her the diamond tiara.
