Chapter 395
Chapter 395:
After a pause, she continued, “You act like you’ve earned your place, but let’s be honest. You don’t have any real skill. Your image is crafted by the Harper family. Sooner or later, people will see the truth. Everyone will know what kind of person you really are. You won’t be able to pretend for too long. If I were you, I’d leave before that happens. Maybe Mr. Mitchell will keep you by his side for a while, but once your beauty fades, you will be abandoned by him in no time p>
When she finished speaking, she expected Brenna to back down. In her mind, there was no way someone as young as Brenna could’ve graduated from a top university or come up with some profound ideas on her own. It had to be the Harper Group pulling the strings and creating the polished image.
“I’ll tell Mr. Mitchell everything,” Sabine said with a huff. “Brenna, I’m afraid you won’t be able to keep this charade going much longer p>
“So, what’s the plan? When are you going to talk Mr. Harper into bringing Ernst back to the Harper Group to take up the CEO position again?” Sabine said with confidence. “If you confess to Mr. Harper your incompetence and express your desire not to monopolize all of Harper Group’s resources, then when I marry your brother, I might let you stay in the Harper family home. I’ll ensure you have enough to live on p>
Brenna was astounded by Sabine’s audacity. Sabine wasn’t even married to Ernst yet, but she was already making plans as if she owned everything in the Harper family. It was absurd.
Her expression cold, Brenna fixed her gaze directly on Sabine.
Sabine, initially full of arrogance, began to feel unsettled as she sensed Brenna’s disdain. She snapped, “What are you staring at? Answer me. Don’t you think my offer is generous? Once I’m married to your brother, I’ll control everything in the Harper Group. It’s generous of me to even consider letting you stay within the Harper family. You should be grateful p>
Brenna gave her phone a little shake, then turned the screen toward Sabine for her to see.
Sabine’s confidence faltered, realizing that Brenna had been on a call the entire time, and Ernst was on the other end of the line!
She had unknowingly revealed her intentions to Ernst. Panicking, she reached for Brenna’s phone, scolding her, “I’m your future sister-in-law! How could you disrespect me by letting someone eavesdrop on our conversation p>
Brenna moved quickly, dodging Sabine’s attempt to grab the phone, causing Sabine to almost lose her balance.
“What do you think Ernst will feel about what you’ve said?” Brenna asked, showing her the phone screen once more.
Sabine’s face fell, frustrated by her failure to seize the phone.
She yelled into the phone, “Ernst, listen to me! I didn’t mean what I said. It was a test for your sister. I just wanted to see if she supports our union. I was only joking with her p>
Brenna ended the call abruptly.
In the small lounge on the fourth floor, Ernst had picked up the call but only caught a few confusing words. He was about to ask for clarification when the line went dead, leaving him puzzled about Brenna’s intentions.
Opposite him, Viper was already making his way to the elevator. Their exchange had been tense, with Ernst and Ethan showing no deference toward Viper, obviously indifferent to his status.
