Chapter 297
297:
Before long, Brenna arrived at the hospital, carrying flowers.
At the hospital room door, Brenna took a moment to touch up her makeup, adding more charm to her already striking appearance. Without so much as a knock, she pushed the door open and stepped inside.
A strange sense of satisfaction washed over Brenna when she saw Rosie lying on the hospital bed. “Your injuries look pretty serious,” she remarked.
Rosie and her two friends seethed with hatred, their anger bubbling beneath the surface, each secretly wishing they could tear Brenna apart right then and there.
Brenna greeted Sylvie and Vivian, who looked like they had recovered well. She hadn’t seen them since the incident at the Imperial Bar. Brenna asked sweetly, “How have you two been holding up lately?”
Sylvie and Vivian’s anger flared even more fiercely as they vividly recalled their humiliating apology to Brenna at the Imperial Bar. Sylvie’s tone was ice-cold as she replied, “We’re doing just fine. But tell me, Brenna—did you tamper with Rosie’s brake pads?”
Although Brenna was unaware that the three were secretly recording the conversation, she remained cautious. “Tamper with her brake pads? What are you talking about?”
Sylvie’s temper flared. “Rosie’s accident happened because her brakes failed! She couldn’t stop at the intersection when the light turned red and slammed her car straight into a dump truck.”
Brenna widened her eyes in feigned shock. “No wonder the accident was so serious. She actually crashed into a dump truck?”
Rosie felt her blood boil. Brenna was obviously behind the matter, yet she continued to act clueless.
Gritting her teeth, Rosie snapped, “You’re still playing innocent? My car was parked safely at home. It was in perfect condition the last time I drove it, so why would it suddenly malfunction this time? My car is a luxury model worth millions, built with the highest safety standards. It wouldn’t just break down on its own like this. You must have tampered with it! Just admit it!”
Brenna clicked her tongue twice. “You’re lucky to have survived. Be more careful next time,” she said.

To be exact, Rosie had walked away alive from two car accidents. She was indeed lucky.
Brenna looked at Rosie, who was on the hospital bed, a playful glint in her eye. At least for the next three months, she thought, Rosie wouldn’t be causing any more trouble for her.
She then looked over at Sylvie and Vivian. “Don’t you think I’m right?”
Sylvie and Vivian were so frustrated. No matter how many times they tried to trick Brenna into admitting she had tampered with the brake pads, she just kept dodging the question. It was maddening.
Vivian shot Brenna a hard look and instinctively replied, “Yeah, she is quite lucky. But next time, who knows?”
She instantly regretted saying those words. Had she just jinxed Rosie into another crash?
“Forget I said that!” she quickly added.
Brenna chuckled lightly. There was something oddly satisfying about watching the three of them stew in their frustration. They were clearly fed up, but they couldn’t do a thing about her. She loved the look of irritation and helplessness on their faces.
She said, “Is there anything else you want to say? If not, I’m leaving.”
Rosie hadn’t gotten what she wanted, so she wasn’t about to let Brenna leave just yet. “We’re not done here. Who said you could go?” she said.
Brenna arched an eyebrow, her patience thinning. “What more do you want? I don’t have time to waste on you.”
