Chapter 514:
“Just an ordinary person coming with good intentions, you shouldn’t treat me like this, right? Mrs. Russell, what do you think p>
Amy’s face turned pale, and she snorted heavily. While Brenna was right about basic hospitality, she believed Brenna didn’t deserve an apology.
In her opinion, Rosie was the true daughter of the Harper family, while Brenna was hardly better than a servant. She didn’t deserve to be in her house, let alone at her birthday.
Amy snatched the TV remote and threw it. “Didn’t your upbringing teach you any manners? Or is this how Shepard taught you to speak to an elder p>
“My father taught me to give respect where it’s due,” Brenna replied smoothly. “Some people just don’t deserve respect p>
The entire Russell family grew visibly angry.
Davin Russell pointed a finger at Brenna. “Say that again p>

Brenna’s smile twisted slightly. “Since you took such pleasure in trying to humiliate me, don’t you think it’s only fair that you pay for that? Did you think I’d just take those insults p>
“Let’s see…” She tapped her chin thoughtfully.
The sweeter Brenna’s smile became, the more Tina’s stomach churned. Brenna said, “Ah! If I can get powerful figures to come here to celebrate Amy’s birthday later, you’ll crawl through the living room and bark three times. If I can’t, I will do that p>
Inside the office of a military district commander, Elsa entered with purpose and gave a sharp salute. “Reporting as ordered, sir p>
The commander, a broad-shouldered man, rose from his chair at once. “Our lead aircraft designer is being publicly embarrassed at a social gathering. You are to provide support to her. Go and perform at the Russell family’s matriarch’s birthday celebration p>
