Chapter 202
202:
Soon, servants appeared from different parts of the house and ascended the stairs, led by Rachael.
Brenna rose to her feet and said, “Let me see what’s happening first.”
Ethan, too, was drawn by the noise, wondering about Rosie’s antics.
“Who ruined all my clothes?” Rosie exclaimed, holding up a sleeveless, goose-yellow dress with a large slit cutting through its neckline. Frantically, she searched through her wardrobe, finding more garments similarly vandalized.
Many were slashed, and her beloved M&G brand cocktail dress was shredded.
She glared angrily at everyone by the door and asked, “Who did this?”
Brenna let out a soft laugh, her shoulders lifting in a shrug. “What goes around comes around, right? Looks like someone did what I’ve been tempted to do,” she said.
Rosie instantly suspected that Brenna was behind this, recalling how she had sabotaged three of Brenna’s dresses at last night’s welcome party in an attempt to humiliate her.
It seemed plausible that Brenna would seek revenge by ruining her entire wardrobe.
“Was it you who did this?” Rosie asked Brenna.
Brenna quickly retorted, “Why would you think I did this?”
Rosie was momentarily thrown off. The reason seemed clear to her—she had sabotaged Brenna’s dresses the previous night, prompting what she assumed was a revenge act.
Yet, she couldn’t reveal that she was the person who had ruined Brenna’s clothes.

The welcome banquet the night before had been bustling with guests, and the room where the dresses were stored wasn’t under surveillance since it was designated for guest use. Therefore, no one could definitively pin the dress sabotage on her.
The incident had been a topic of discussion among the Harper family last night, with everyone denying any involvement.
Shepard and Giselle had been particularly upset, having put considerable effort into organizing the banquet themselves. Fortunately, Ethan had gifted Brenna a dress. Without it, she would have had nothing to wear, and the Harper family would have been left in total embarrassment.
Rosie also realized that, while her parents hadn’t directly accused her of being responsible, it was clear to everyone that she and Brenna didn’t get along. She had a clear motive.
However, they didn’t ask her outright. Instead, they simply exchanged a few knowing glances. In fact, Rosie was sure they had already concluded that she was behind it.
It was evident now. She was an outsider. The Harper couple and their biological daughter were the true family. No matter how much she tried, she could never truly belong.
