WantNovelChapter 1006: The call ended abruptly, leaving Elsa fuming. She cursed at the phone for a while before finally calling Ethan.
She had always believed that Ethan had broken up with Brenna because he was interested in Gracie, thinking it was his decision to end things. So, she didn't hesitate to badmouth Brenna to Ethan.
"Ethan, are you really going to stand by while your mother's being bullied?" she said. "Brenna drenchedin orange juice! My designer clothes, ruined. My scarf, soaked! If you don't do something now, she'll do something worse next time. You have to deal with her for me!" Ethan clenched his jaw as his mother's voice rang in his ears, her complaints pushing him past the edge. While he was racking his brain for ways to patch things up with Brenna, Elsa was out there making things worse by the minute. How could he not be furious? "Mom, I know Brenna wouldn't have done that without a reason. Did you say something to set her off?" He knew Elsa too well. She was stubborn and unreasonable. It'd be a relief if she didn't pick on people. How could she be bullied by anyone? "I've got a lot going on right now. If you can't handle the matter yourself, ask Dad for help." Ethan hung up, feeling uneasy, worried that Brenna might misunderstand him even more because of this incident.

But Brenna refused to answer his call.
Left with no choice, he could only send her a message.
"Brenna, don't let my mother's behavior get to you. Whatever she said doesn't reflect how I feel. Please don't take any of her words to heart. I'm sorry if she was rude to you. I'll visit you at htonight and talk to you about this in person." He hit send and waited, but Brenna didn't respond.
His anxiety deepened. Maybe Elsa had gone too far.
Trying to piece together what had happened, Ethan called Elsa. "What exactly did you say to Brenna?" he asked sharply.
Elsa was still angry with him. "Nothing much. I just suggested introducing her to a few men for matchmaking, and then, she threw orange juice at me. I meant well, but she was so rude to me. Ethan, no wonder you broke up with her. She's so ill-mannered, not worthy of you." Ethan was exasperated. He knew his mother; he believed she must have said something far worse. Otherwise, with Brenna's calm and reserved nature, she wouldn't have reacted like that.

"Why would you even think of introducing her to other men?" he asked, his voice rising in anger.
"I was doing it for her own good," Elsa replied quickly, clearly trying to sound innocent. In reality, her ality, her goat hadm nothing to do with kindness. She had simply wanted to put Brenna in her place, to humiliate her by telling her she was only worthy of being with old, unattractive men.
"For her own good? You never even liked her. Don't pretend you're in to suddenly being kind to her. Mom my relationship with Brenna is my own business. Stay out of it, okay? I'm begging you." Ethan had often argued with Elsa since childhood and knew how cutting and venomous her words could be.
