Chapter 13:

Brenna said, “Alright. From now on, we’re sisters p>

Then, she flung a glance at Sylvie and Vivian. “But these two just humiliated me. One wanted me scrubbing toilets in her home; the other wanted me on my knees polishing her shoes. What do you think about that?” she said.

Rosie resisted the urge to lash out. Did Brenna have to drag this out? Didn’t she just say she forgave her? Then why was she refusing to let the matter go? When would this end, for God’s sake?

Ethan’s lips pressed into a thin line, his displeasure evident. He said, “Rosie, as far as I know, Miss Higgins and Miss Morrison are your close friends. You share everything with each other, don’t you p>

Seeing Rosie remain silent, Ethan continued, his tone sharp, “The Mitchell Group has business partnerships with the Higgins Group and the Morrison Group. But since the Higgins family’s and the Morrison family’s daughters lack character, I see no reason to continue collaborating with them p>

Sylvie and Vivian stiffened, their faces draining of color. They exchanged panicked glances but couldn’t openly communicate with Rosie. For now, all they could do was stare at her in shock.

Brenna leaned back slightly, watching Rosie, a playful smile tugging at her lips.

She knew exactly what was happening. Rosie, Sylvie, and Vivian were inseparable, always in sync.

The three women exchanged silent looks, and after a beat, Sylvie took the lead. She scoffed, her expression dripping with disdain.

“Miss Harper, I hate to disappoint you, but this was all our idea. Rosie had nothing to do with it. Think about it. Rosie was always the Harper family’s little princess. But now, suddenly, you’re back, taking away the affection that was hers. If you were exceptional, maybe we’d let it slide. But let’s be honest—you didn’t even finish grade school. You don’t belong in the Harper family. So we decided to humiliate you a little, just to give you a push. We figured you would realize on your own that you don’t belong and just leave the Harper family p>

Vivian folded her arms, her expression equally smug. “That’s right. The Harper family is full of exceptional people. Your father runs the Harper Group, your mother is a professor at Laguna Bay University, and your brothers—one is a vice president, and the other is a top-tier celebrity. Even Rosie graduated from a prestigious foreign university with a master’s degree. And then there’s you, a girl who never even finished grade school. Do you really think you fit in with them? You’re like an outsider trying to live among elites. Completely out of place p>

Rosie watched the scene unfold with satisfaction. This was perfect.

Her two friends had openly humiliated Brenna. Surely, after this, Brenna would be too ashamed to step foot into the Harper family.

And Ethan? He wouldn’t look twice at a woman with no education. Rosie felt reassured—her place was safe. Whatever obstacles stood in the way of her marrying Ethan, Brenna certainly wasn’t one of them.

Still, she had to play the part of the understanding sister now.

Rosie sighed dramatically and held up a hand. “Alright, that’s enough. I know you’re just trying to look out for me, but she’s still my cousin—my uncle and aunt’s real daughter. No matter what, she has to come back to the Harper family. After all, she carries the Harper bloodline. I’ll make sure to help her improve so she can catch up with the Harper family’s standards and avoid embarrassing us in high society p>
