Chapter 270
Chapter 270:
Shepard, overwhelmed with anger, staggered and almost fell.
“Dad!” Brenna rushed to his side. “Please, calm down. Rosie must have influenced him. He’s usually more sensible p>
Giselle, alarmed, said to the servants, “Quick, bring his blood pressure pills p>
The servants moved quickly, and Julia soon arrived with the medication. Shepard took it.
It took some time before he started to feel better, and his headache slowly eased. Giselle stayed by his side, worried, ready to rush him to the hospital if his condition didn’t improve.
“Ernst is out of line this time! If he continues like this, he’ll be the one to destroy the Harper Group. How did I end up raising such a son?” Shepard muttered angrily, his face filled with disappointment.
Giselle exhaled deeply. “I can’t understand what’s gotten into him. Brenna is his true sister, yet he keeps defending Rosie. It’s one thing to feel pity for Rosie being without her parents, but it’s another to excuse her actions after everything she has done. Rosie crossed a line this time. What is he thinking?” she said.
Both Giselle and Shepard couldn’t help but wonder where they had gone wrong in raising Ernst.
Brenna sat next to her father, remaining silent. She hardly knew Ernst, feeling he was more like a stranger to her. Recently, she had felt him trying to build a bond with her, and she had been open to it. However, his unwavering support for Rosie today had left her utterly confused.
Ernst drove away from the Harper family’s house, his expression cold throughout the drive.
Rosie, sitting beside him, was unable to tell what he was thinking.
She started to cry, her tears fake. She said, “Ernst, I never imagined they would actually kick me out. Now that Brenna’s here, it feels like they don’t see me as their niece anymore. Everything I do seems wrong. But I can’t blame them—they’ve cared for me for over twenty years. I should be grateful to them p>

“That’s enough!” Ernst snapped, clearly annoyed. He saw right through Rosie’s intentions. The only reason he had spoken up for her earlier was that he was…
Worried that if she got thrown out, she would be shut out by the upper circle, making her life harder. It wasn’t that he saw what Rosie had done as a minor issue.
He yelled in anger, his voice sharp and unforgiving, and Rosie flinched, caught off guard by the sudden outburst.
Ernst continued, “What you did crossed every line. Brenna is my sister by blood. I get it—our parents have been focused on her lately and may have overlooked you, but that doesn’t give you the right to send thugs after Brenna. If it hadn’t been for her friends, things could have ended much worse. Rosie, I’m telling you now—don’t ever come after Brenna like that again p>
He struggled to understand Rosie’s hatred toward Brenna, who hadn’t wronged her at all. He also couldn’t fathom why Rosie, who had always been kind, had become so obsessed with harming Brenna.
Rosie bit her lip, shocked by Ernst’s stance on the matter. Had his support earlier been just for show?
