Chapter 605:
The revelation that she might be a concubine was something Brenna had disclosed.
Everyone turned their eyes to Brenna, uncertainty hanging in the air as they questioned the accuracy of her information.
Brenna spoke up immediately, her tone resolute, “She’s lying. They only want her as a concubine. Originally, the royalty of Plieca sought the Princess of Orwall to be Prince Maxley’s wife, but she refused. For a political marriage, how could they ever allow someone without political connections to become Prince Maxley’s wife p>
“That’s not true!” Rosie exclaimed, her voice trembling with indignation. Tears threatened to spill as she defended herself. “Who knows my situation better—me or you? Where did you get that information? You’re just jealous because I’m marrying someone a lot better than your boyfriend p>
Brenna scoffed. “Not jealous. And didn’t we already agree to your marrying Maxley as his wife? Whether you have a good life in Plieca or not has nothing to do with us p>
Rosie fell silent, momentarily at a loss for words.
After a moment’s thought, Rosie finally spoke. “You just don’t want to return my dad’s shares to me! I don’t want you managing my shares anymore. I want to take back my father’s shares and marry Prince Maxley. From now on, the Harper Group p>
Luther’s expression darkened like a brewing storm.
He had invested his heart and soul into the Harper Group over a lifetime. While he could accept the idea of splitting the assets equally among his three sons and even consider giving a few shares to his grandchildren, he refused to see his hard-earned legacy torn apart. Right now, the Harper Group was valued at one hundred billion. The Harper family was barely scraping into the ranks of Shirie’s four most powerful families and stood among the top twenty enterprises in the nation of Vanland.
If a third of the Harper Group were carved out, the company would lose its standing among Shirie’s elite, and nationwide, it might not even remain within the top hundred.

“Not a chance!” Luther exclaimed.
At those words, Rosie shattered into tears, feeling deeply aggrieved. “Grandpa!” she cried, her eyes overflowing as she looked at Luther. “I just want to take my father’s shares p>
The veins in Luther’s temples throbbed even more, his eyes wide with disappointment as he fixed his gaze on Rosie. “Don’t even think about it. I dedicated my entire life to building the Harper Group into what it is today. This is my legacy, and I won’t let anyone rip it apart! If you keep pushing me, you’ll be cut off from the Harper Group for good; you won’t see a single cent of it ever again p>
“Oh, Luther, don’t get so worked up. Watch your blood pressure!” Tessa, seated beside him, urged anxiously.
Shepard and Ableson exchanged worried glances. The Harper Group meant everything to Luther; splitting it up felt like tearing out a piece of his soul.
Ableson and Shepard stepped forward, their voices harmonizing to soothe him. “Dad, please, don’t get upset. Your health is the priority p>
