Chapter 238
238:
Rosie gave him a sharp glance and asked, “And how is that your concern?”
His assumption confirmed by her reaction, Harlan said, “However, it appears that Mr. Mitchell has taken a liking to your cousin.”
Rosie, impatient with the indirect approach, demanded, “Get to the point!”
Harlan revealed what he knew. “The man seen with Brenna is Thiago — my half-brother. You might know our mothers were sisters, and his mother died tragically due to my mother’s actions. Thiago despises me and the entire Moreno family because of that. He is the one responsible for the downfall of the Moreno family,” he said.
Rosie looked at him with unmistakable disdain. “The scandal involving your family is disgusting,” she said.
Harlan nodded in agreement, his voice tinged with sadness. “Yes, it’s a messy situation. But, Miss Harper, let’s focus on the real issue. Did you notice the relationship between Thiago and Brenna yesterday? It’s much more than just friendship. We could use them to our advantage and get rid of them. If we succeeded, not only would we save the Moreno family, but there would also be a…”
chance for you to be with Mr. Mitchell. It sounds like a win-win for both of us, don’t you think?” The idea of Brenna being out of the picture appealed to Rosie, though she was clueless about how to achieve it.
“Have you come up with a plan?” she asked.
Shaking his head, Harlan admitted, “I don’t have a solid plan now. But you’re well-connected. You know people with criminal connections, right? Maybe you could find people willing to do something to them.”

She nodded slightly; she knew a few people in the underworld.
Harlan then outlined his scheme.
After that, he asked with a cunning grin, “What do you think of my plan?”
“It’s pretty good.” Rosie smirked dismissively, remembering how Thiago had clashed with Neville the day before. “Your brother seems more than capable of fighting. Tell them to send more people. I believe we would be able to get rid of Brenna and Thiago for good.”
A smile finally broke on Harlan’s face. “I will. Tomorrow, I’ll find a way to get Thiago and Brenna out together.”
Rosie expressed her doubts, saying, “Can you actually gain Thiago’s trust?”
Harlan’s tone was icy as he replied, “He’ll come for his mother’s belongings left at our place. He won’t be able to resist.”
Rosie considered his words. “It could work, but he won’t take the bait unless he sees those items first.” She wasn’t foolish enough to underestimate Thiago’s cleverness.
“That’s not an issue. I’ll pick up the items tonight, take a picture, and send it to him. Once he sees it, he’ll definitely show up,” Harlan said.
