Chapter 154
154:
Even Ernst, though he didn’t like Brenna, couldn’t allow anyone to mistreat his sister.
His voice was cold as he said, “Is that so? Brenna never even finished her elementary education because of you. Instead, she was kept at home to work endlessly on designs and do chores, like a common servant. Is that your definition of treating her well?”
Dalton’s scoff was sharp with bitterness. He said, “At least you made sure she was fed so she didn’t starve to death. Does that mean we should be grateful to you?”
Isabella’s eyes grew wide as she took in the sight of Brenna’s brothers, especially captivated by their remarkable looks. Dalton, in particular, stood out. He was a top…
Celebrity famous for his striking appearance, Dalton stood out among Brenna’s brothers. It seemed fortune was truly on Brenna’s side, blessing her with such remarkable siblings.
Alec simmered with anger, secretly bitter toward the Harper family for using their influence to publicly embarrass the Barrett family, placing them in an awkward position.
His original intention for the gathering had been to network with powerful figures and secure business deals. Now, it seemed Shirie’s elite might abandon the Barretts, possibly even aligning with the Harpers against them.
His frustration erupted as he quickly said, “This isn’t true. We’ve never done anything wrong to Brenna. Brenna, you have to back me up on this. After raising you for so many years, you should at least stand up for us.”
Mack’s gaze at Brenna was filled with anger. He regretted not having ended her before.

The Barrett family finally understood why the Harper family had invited them to Brenna’s return banquet.
This wasn’t merely a celebration. It was a carefully orchestrated move by the Harper family to seek revenge on Brenna’s behalf using their influence.
Although Alec’s resentment toward Brenna simmered beneath the surface, he was painfully aware that his family could not afford to risk offending the Harper family now. In fact, he saw this as a crucial opportunity—one he hoped would help restore his family’s former glory.
Alec’s gaze lingered on Brenna, his expression etched with a mix of pain. “You must remember what I did for you, Brenna. I raised you and guided you, and now that you’re living a prosperous life, you can’t forget the kindness I’ve shown you, can you?” he said.
Brenna’s eyes grew cold, her composure unwavering. “Don’t worry. I won’t forget that,” she replied calmly, her voice steady. “I’ll make sure my parents and brothers look after the Barrett family.”
The Barrett family members, overwhelmed with excitement, struggled to conceal their delight. Hope flickered in their eyes as they exchanged glances.
Alec’s voice dropped to a more personal tone as he leaned in slightly. “In that case, I won’t hide anything from you. Since you left, the company has barely received any new orders. We’ve even fallen behind on wages for the workers. Could you ask your parents to assign us some projects? It would make a world of difference,” he said.
