The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows novel Chapter 262

Chapter 262 Sylvie’s Revenge

Ellie had never felt this humiliated in front of Brenna before. She had no idea how to even apologize to Brenna.

After they finished eating, Ellie insisted on paying for the meal. It was the only way she could think to make

amends.

Sitting beside Ellie, Tori muttered, “Isn’t your friend from some big–shot family? If she is that rich, then you should let her pay the bill.”

Ellie just shot her a glare. Then, without a word, she got up and walked toward the counter to settle the bill

Tori scowled. “What? Where are you going? Did I say anything wrong?”

Thiago could not help but sigh at Tori’s behavior.

Though irritated, he said nothing and followed after Ellie. In his mind, it wasn’t right to let a woman handle the

bill.

When Brenna got home, her phone lit up with a stream of apology messages from Thiago and Ellie.

The next evening, Ellie slipped into a canary yellow dress. She grabbed a white handbag and changed her shoes by the door.

Just then, Tori stepped out of the kitchen with a stack of dishes. “Dinner’s almost ready. Where are you going? Still buckling her shoes, Ellie turned with a flash of anger and responded, “After what you did last night, what do you think? You insulted my best friend. I’ve spent the whole day sending her messages to apologize to her, but she still hasn’t replied. I’m going to treat her to a proper meal.”

Tori didn’t look the least bit sorry and instead said, “Rich people are too sensitive. I just said a few things, and she slapped me. I didn’t even ask for an apology, but she dares to ignore you now? That’s ridiculous.”

Ellie seethed. The truth was, Brenna had forgiven her the moment she received her apology. She just needed a reason to leave the house.

She said, “That’s enough. When you see her again, mind what you say. She’s used to being treated like royalty. She has never been treated like that before.”

Tori crossed her arms and spoke with defiance. “How is that my fault? She sat too close to Thiago. Anyone would’ve taken it the wrong way. And she calls herself your best friend? So petty. She doesn’t act like someone from a rich and refined family at all.”

Ellie felt resigned. Tori was stubborn to the core, never willing to admit she was wrong

With a sigh, she said, “Mom, please, just think before you talk next time.”

She then left the house.

Just outside the neighborhood, Thiago waited for Ellie in his car. The moment Ellie got inside his car, she started complaining about her mother.

After they arrived at a hotel, Thiago’s arm circled Ellie’s waist as they walked down the corridor.

“I can’t deal with my mom. She’s clearly wrong, but she twists everything and blames everyone else 1 don’t even know how I am going to face Brenna from now on.” Ellie let out a quiet sigh. I’ll have to treat her to a meal and properly apologize soon.”

Thiago smiled softly. “Brenna’s not the type to hold grudges. She knows you’re not your mom. I’m sure she won’t blame you for any of it.”
