Chapter 266
Chapter 266:
“Here’s your salary for the month,” Julia said, handing Rachael a large envelope stuffed with cash.
Rachael’s face twisted with outrage as she accepted it. “The Harper family has no heart! They spoil their daughter but neglect the well-being of their niece!” she exclaimed.
She opened the envelope and counted the cash inside—only seven thousand dollars. She stopped Julia before she could walk away and demanded, “Where’s my severance pay? Isn’t that required by labor law p>
Julia sneered and interrupted, “Severance pay? You’re dreaming if you think you’ll get that after being fired p>
Rachael grabbed Julia’s arm, refusing to let go. “I wasn’t just dismissed! I dedicated years of hard work to the Harper family, even if it went unnoticed. Why shouldn’t I receive what’s owed? I will sue the Harper family for this p>
Julia pulled her arm back with a scornful smile. “You think you can sue the Harper family p>
Rachael felt utterly defeated. She had used those very words against outsiders who caused trouble for the Harpers. Now, hearing them thrown back at her felt bitterly ironic.
But Julia was right. The Harper family was not one to be challenged lightly. Rachael realized she had no real recourse.
Having lost her job because of Rosie, she could only hope Rosie would take her in and keep paying her the same salary.
She called a cab to transport Rosie’s possessions to one of her private residences.
Previously, the Harper family had taken pity on Rosie, an orphan without support, and treated her generously. Ableson had given Rosie a 200-square-meter apartment and a car.

Rosie’s grandparents had given her two houses, a company generating annual profits of around three hundred million, and 0.5% of the Harper Group’s shares. Even without working, Rosie would remain wealthy.
Shepard and Giselle had given Rosie even more—two houses, two cars, and two shops. Rosie had also received plenty of money, along with expensive bags and clothes from them.
In the living room, Shepard and Giselle were too upset to calm down, still venting their frustrations.
Giselle, too infuriated to even sip her coffee, sat on the sofa. “I can’t believe we raised someone like that,” she said.
Shepard, visibly angry and frequently shaking his head, replied, “We’ve been so good to Rosie, yet she plotted against our real daughter. I never imagined she could be so malicious. If it weren’t for the police officers telling me, I wouldn’t have known the extent of Brenna’s suffering p>
He then took out his phone and transferred two hundred million to Brenna.
Giselle, seated next to him, took his hand and said gravely, “Contact Mr. Gomez, the chief of the police station. We must not let those involved go unpunished, and we need to make it clear to Rosie that she cannot bully our daughter p>
