Chapter 250:
Brenna let out a humorless laugh. “Are you assuming I tampered with it? Why bother asking me at all? Just go ahead and call the police if you think I did p>
Ernst’s expression darkened. Brenna’s attitude only fueled his anger. “You and Rosie haven’t exactly been getting along. Don’t think I’m blind to your schemes. Rosie’s parents are gone, but I’m still here. As long as I’m around, I won’t let you harm her. She took your car and ended up in a rear-end collision. She could’ve died!” he said.
Brenna’s gaze turned cold and cutting. “That car was delivered today. I only saw it with Mom for a few minutes. I never even touched it. If you want answers, then investigate properly before you throw accusations around,” she said.
Brenna flung the door open without warning and called Giselle out of the master bedroom.
“What happened?” Giselle asked, noticing the siblings looked upset as if they had just had a heated argument.
She fixed a stern look on her son, her voice sharp with disapproval. “Is this how you act like a big brother? How dare you bully your sister like this? She just got home, and you are already making her uncomfortable with your sour expression p>
Ernst was exasperated by Brenna’s habit of running to their parents, making it seem like he had bullied her.
Although angry, he knew better than to lash out at his mother. With a deep breath, he steadied himself and explained what had happened with Rosie.
Giselle’s face shifted from sternness to genuine concern as she listened. “A car accident? Was it serious? Is Rosie okay p>
Ernst replied, “Thankfully, the car’s safety systems did their job, but the brakes failed. It caused a pile-up. We will probably have to pay for the damages, but she’s okay, Mom. Don’t worry p>

Giselle nodded with a peculiar expression. Then, she went back to her bedroom to call Rosie.
Rosie was in tears. Giselle spent a long time comforting her and asking what had happened before finally ending the call.
When she returned, she looked at Ernst sternly and asked, “What makes you think Brenna had something to do with the brakes? That’s a heavy accusation. Do you have any evidence p>
Ernst scoffed, his expression making it clear he thought the answer was obvious. “Mom, do I even need to spell it out? Brenna is the only one in this family who can’t stand Rosie. Who else would go to such lengths to hurt her? Not long ago, someone shredded Rosie’s clothes, and we never figured out who did it. Now, Rosie has been in a car accident. I don’t even want to imagine what might come next. Don’t you think this is a serious matter p>
Giselle let out a displeased huff. “What kind of nonsense are you spouting? How can you accuse Brenna without a shred of proof? And as for today’s accident—the car was delivered straight from the company. It was perfectly fine on the way here. So how did it suddenly malfunction the moment Rosie got behind the wheel p>
