Chapter 100
Chapter 100:
Utterly disappointed, Luther flung a glare at Rosie. “Do as your aunt Giselle says. Change the way you address them from now on.” It was clear to him now that they had spoiled Rosie so much that she had become arrogant.
Ernst couldn’t take it anymore. He stepped in to defend Rosie, saying, “Rosie lost her parents when she was young, and this is how you treat her p>
Shepard lost his patience and stared coldly at his eldest son. “Shut up! Did I give you permission to speak? And don’t forget—you’re part of this agreement, too. If Brenna takes first place, you will lose your position as the Vice President of the Harper Group p>
Ernst scoffed, “She’s not capable of winning first place p>
Shepard’s anger only grew. “You’d rather tear down your own sister than acknowledge her talent? A leader who judges with bias and refuses to be rational isn’t fit to run the Harper Group. I don’t think you deserve to be the Vice President of the company p>
Turning to Giselle, he said, “Bring me my computer. I’ll draft this agreement myself p>
He had already thought of the crucial terms in his head. The moment Giselle handed him the laptop, his fingers moved swiftly across the keyboard, and within half an hour, a fair agreement was complete. The document clearly defined the roles and responsibilities of all three parties, along with the consequences of losing the wager.
Once it was printed, Brenna carefully reviewed it before nodding. “Mom, Dad, this agreement is fair. I’ll sign it p>
Giselle, overjoyed, turned to her husband. “Honey, did you hear that? She called us Mom and Dad p>
Shepard’s face softened with a smile as he nodded. “Yes. And once the paternity results confirm everything, I’ll allocate Brenna an extra share of the company. We have to make up for all the years we lost p>

Ernst’s mood turned sour as he read the agreement, his hands shaking slightly. “Mom, Dad, why are you stripping me of all my shares if I lose the bet p>
Shepard let out a cold snort. “That’s the cost of your reckless actions. Why should Brenna risk losing everything if she doesn’t win, while you walk away unscathed? This needs to be fair p>
Ernst’s grip on the pen was so tight that his knuckles turned pale under the strain.
He turned to look at Brenna and said bitterly, “Happy now? You’ve won. I have to step down as the Vice President and forfeit five percent of my shares in the Harper Group p>
Deep down, it wasn’t that he doubted Brenna’s identity—he simply couldn’t stomach what he saw as her insatiable greed.
However, if he had to pay such a high price for targeting Brenna, he felt it wasn’t worth it.
He was hesitant to sign this.
