Chapter 808
808:
Seeing her like this, Maxley said, “This has to be the Harper family working behind the scenes. The Pliecan royal family had already sealed off that story. There’s no way the people in Vanland would’ve found out without someone powerful feeding them the information. Who else would have that kind of influence except the Harpers?”
He was just as disheartened. He was on someone else’s turf; it was impossible to win over the public.
He said, “Rosie, just delete the post. We’ll come up with a different plan.”
Rosie stomped her foot and let out a scream, wild with rage. From where a nearby security guard stood, she looked completely mad. She opened her social media app and deleted the post right away.
A hollow ache filled her chest. Why couldn’t she win against Brenna and her family? She had put in so much effort. She even knew where they were vulnerable. So why did she still end up losing? Why?
She couldn’t wrap her head around it and refused to accept the outcome. And she had no intention of giving up, either. If she couldn’t reclaim her shares, she wouldn’t let others get them, either.
She had made detailed preparations, carefully planning for every possible setback. Even Maxley’s two strongest bodyguards had been brought along for protection. Yet, Brenna and Thiago had taken the bodyguards down without breaking a sweat.
She glanced at the two bodyguards, whose arms still dangled uselessly, and exclaimed, “So useless!”
Meanwhile, back inside the stadium, the fans were buzzing with excitement. Dalton had even surprised them with a guest appearance from one of the country’s most beloved female singers. The crowd was electric.
The concert ran for over three hours. By the time Brenna returned home, it was already past two in the morning.
When she opened her eyes the next morning, her phone was filled with messages from Dalton. He thanked her for having his back the night before and insisted on treating her to a meal.

“There’s no need for that. We’re family, aren’t we?” Brenna replied.
Brenna realized she didn’t actually know much about Dalton, even after returning to the family. What little she had heard told her he was a top-tier celebrity. She had seen a few of his films and shows—his acting was impressive. What she hadn’t expected was how well he could sing and dance, too.
Curious, she pulled out her phone and did a quick search. What she found was a long list of credits dating back to when he had just been about eight years old. Though many of his early roles hadn’t made waves, his experience was undeniable.
All things considered, he was highly talented.
