Chapter 122:
Kennedi briefly mentioned an ongoing initiative. “The Harper Group is using this design contest to attract top engineers for their luxury smart car project. They’re offering highly profitable contracts to lure the best talent globally, with salaries starting at two million dollars annually, plus year-end bonuses. The competition is already intense, with numerous entrants vying for the top position p>
Rosie had a realization. Brenna had been wary of her intentions from the start. It was unlikely that the new laptop held any competition drafts.
Could Brenna’s extensive design portfolio really be stored on that bulky laptop?
Uncertain, Rosie decided she needed to verify this by checking Brenna’s laptop at home. She intended to transfer all the design drafts onto her own device for a thorough review later.
She hurried back home. When she arrived, Rachael was in the kitchen, managing the day’s meals.
Rosie paused at the kitchen entrance to glance at Rachael, then continued upstairs.
Rachael instructed the cooks, “Make sure the meals are easy to chew for Luther and Tessa. They are getting old p>
The kitchen staff nodded in understanding.
Rachael picked up a plate of freshly sliced fruits and headed to the third floor, entering Rosie’s room with it.
“Ms. Harper, welcome back. What would you like for lunch? I can have it made for you,” Rachael said, handing the plate to Rosie.
The plate was adorned with cherries and blueberries. Rosie gracefully selected a cherry, nibbled on it, and then said, “Anything will do. Has Brenna come back yet p>
Rachael paused to think, then answered, “No, she hasn’t. I’ve been here all morning and didn’t see her return. I recall she left earlier with Mr. Dalton Harper for an art exhibition. He mentioned they wouldn’t be returning for lunch, so there was no need to prepare anything for them. Is there something you need p>

Rosie’s eyes lit up briefly. They weren’t returning for lunch? That suited her plans perfectly.
It was common for the Harper family to leave in the morning and not return until the evening.
With a slight smile, Rosie said, “Nothing. Please, continue with your tasks p>
Rachael nodded and excused herself.
Rosie, now alone and holding some cherries, sauntered across the third floor, peeking into rooms and finding no one around.
Confident that she was alone, Rosie entered Brenna’s room. After ensuring both the bedroom and bathroom were empty, she settled at the desk and powered up the laptop again.
She noticed that the computer only had a handful of design-related folders on the desktop, with nothing else saved.
