Chapter 940: Today, she intended to humiliate Brenna thoroughly. Her son had many outstanding women around him; Brenna was not his only option. She planned to make Brenna retreat in defeat.
Stepping out of the elevator, Elsa made her way directly to Brenna's office.

"Hello. Are you here to see someone?" A sense of satisfaction washed over Elsa as she basked in the respect shown to her. "Where is Brenna?" she asked.
Politeness colored Lorna's reply. "Miss Harper is out at the moment and will be back this afternoon. Is there something urgent?" Lorna's mind raced, trying to guess what connections Elsa and Brenna had.
Greta overheard the conversation and approached, smiling politely at Elsa. "Hello. I'm Greta. Brenna isn't here. If you have anything to tell her, you can tell me, and I'll pass it on." With Brenna absent, Elsa's desire to humiliate her diminished significantly. "No need for that. Since she's not here, I'll leave. I can talk to her next time." She believed Brenna was lucky this time.
Still, Elsa couldn't resist stirring things up a little. Casting her gaze around, she noted the spacious office, the quiet diligence of the staff, and the single supervisor standing watch.
A feigned casualness crept into her tone. "Actually, I only meant to talk to her about something simple. The new vice president at the Mitchell Group, Gracie, once dated Ethan. I even checked with Gracie just now, and she confirmed their relationship in the past. She is not only more beautiful and accomplished than Brenna, but her background also outshines Brenna's." Greta found herself momentarily speechless, stunned that a respected singer like Elsa could say something so mean. Her eyes drifted to Lorna.
Disappointment settled in for Lorna. Whatever admiration she'd once held for Elsa dissolved in an instant. Respect gone, she decided not to mince words. "Matters of the heart cannot be forced, and Mr. Mitchell's relationship with Miss Harper is their private matter. If you have no further business here, please see yourself out." With no idea of Elsa's true connection to Ethan, Lorna didn't hold back in the slightest.

Elsa glared at Lorna. "Young lady, you should show more respect to your elders. Do you have any idea who you're talking to? If you keep being rude to me, you will pay for it."
Lorna shot her a pointed look but, not wanting to make herself a target, quietly. Sipped back to her desk.
With her voice ringing through the office, Elsa continued, "You are all working in my son's company building now. This is notvel inappropriate. Soon enough, my son will get back together with Gracie. And all of you will be kicked out since you work for Brenna." Her parting words hung in the air as she strode away. Greta stood there, her expression awkward.
