Lesson

Thiago stood next to Brenna, adjusting his attire before gently stopping her. "You don't have to do this. I'll take care of this," he said.

Both of them shared the same goal-to discover who wanted them dead. They had easily overpowered these assailants, who were clearly competent and ruthless.

Had it not been for their frequent brushes with danger in Norview, which had sharpened their skills, the outcome of today's fight might have been disastrously different.

Brenna nodded, sharing a knowing look with Thiago as they quickly understood each other's thoughts.

It was unclear whom these attackers were specifically targeting, as both Brenna and Thiago had made several powerful enemies.

They looked calmly at Jay, who was screaming in agony now.

With no hesitation, Thiago drove a steel pipe into Jay's fractured leg and then pulled it out.

"Ah-" A horrific scream echoed from Jay.

Brenna slightly furrowed her brow. "Stop screaming," she said impatiently.

Once Thiago was satisfied that Jay had been roughed up enough, he crouched beside him and used the steel pipe to tug at his collar, exposing a tattoo that marked loyalty to the infamous Viper-a high-ranking criminal on Interpol's most- wanted list. From the looks of it, Jay was nothing more than a low-level henchman. If Viper truly knew who they were dealing with, he wouldn't have wasted time sending a pack of fools like this.

Thiago said to Jay, "Who hired you? Tell me the truth, and I will make this easier for you."

His voice was gentle, as if he were having a casual conversation, but to Jay, it sounded like a voice from hell.

To Jay, Brenna and Thiago looked like ruthless monsters-outwardly ordinary, but beneath that facade, they were shockingly brutal..

Thiago gently moved the pipe toward Jay's injured arm.

As Jay watched the pipe inch closer, panic filled his eyes.

"I'll talk!" he blurted out, terrified of another strike that could completely ruin his

arm

Thiago's deep voice echoed as the steel pipe came to a stop. "Go ahead," he said.

Shaking, Jay said, "Rosie Harper and Harlan Moreno hired me! They paid us thirty thousand and ordered us to kill you!"

Relief passed between Brenna and Thiago with that revelation. If their main adversaries weren't involved, the

situation was controllablenoveldrama

Fortunately, it wasn't Viper himself who had wanted to kill then if it had been, they would have been facing a

real threat

Instead of continuing to torment the group of men, Brenna and Thiago turned their attention to the

surveillance cameras.

The cameras had been switched off by the men, meaning there would be no evidence of what had just

happened

Brenna grabbed her backpack, and she and Thiago both drove off.

When she arrived home, Brenna moved silently up the stairs. Reaching the third floor, she noticed Rosie's door slightly open, light spilling out. Rosie was inside the room, back turned to the door, engaged in a phone call.

Brenna paused at the doorway, overhearing Rosie's conversation.

In a hushed tone, Rosic said, Jay, why did I just see Brenna come back unharmed? What went wrong? De you promise she'd be completely humiliated?"

Since the phone wasn't on speaker, Brenna couldn't catch the response from Jay. After a while, Rosie's voice sounded annoyed, saying "How could you fail at such a simple job? There were only two of them. How could they be too much for you to handle?"

From the other end of the line, there was the sound of sirens, likely an ambulance arriving

Jay responded angrily, "Who's at fault here? How was I to know they'd fight back so fiercely? Miss Harper, the payment you made won't even cover our medical expenses! All our guys are seriously hurt; none came out unscathed. This isn't finished. I must teach that bitch a lesson, or my reputation would be ruined!"

Rosie ended the call in exasperation. She couldn't fathom how those people had failed to subdue just Brenna

and Thiago.

She had just watched Brenna get out of her car, walking cheerfully, looking nothing like someone who had just

been attacked.

She believed Brenna v

was likel

likely on her way up now.

Suddenly, Rosie flung open the door, only to find Brenna standing there, arms folded, her stare chilling. Brenna's outfit was as tidy as it had been in the morning.

Rosie's scalp tingled with fear, and she slammed the door shut with a bang, terrified.

Brenna chuckled in disdain before walking into her own room.

Rosie's heart raced, its pounding so intense that she could hear it in her ears. She still couldn't believe that Brenna hadn't been assaulted but had instead ruthlessly beaten Jay and his men.

It must have been Thiago's doing. Brenna must have come out unscathed today because Thiago had been there to protect her.

How could Brenna, looking so fragile, possibly be so skilled in a fight?

Rosie's mind kept replaying Brenna's terrifying gaze, and she couldn't shake the

fear that Brenna would seek brutal revenge on her.
