Chapter 935
Chapter 935:
“Denis has crossed a line!” Rosie’s expression darkened dangerously. She refused to accept such humiliation. Denis wasn’t merely punishing Isabella’s family; this was clearly an insult directed straight at her.
She then turned to Ruby, Isabella, and Mack. “Enough. Stop crying. It’s too noisy p>
Ruby bit back her sobs, terrified that any more outbursts would upset Rosie and make her abandon them.
Remaining on her knees, she pleaded desperately, “Miss Harper, you’re wealthy, and you own plenty of places. I’m begging you, please let us stay in one of them. We’ll serve you faithfully forever if you help us now p>
Mack’s stomach twisted as he watched his mother plead on her knees, desperate for a lifeline. But he knew they had no other choice. With Isabella now on the wrong side of Shirie’s gang leader, a figure even Denis feared, their family was powerless. They needed to depend on Rosie’s support to survive now.
He hesitated but eventually joined his mother, kneeling beside her. “Miss Harper, it’s obvious they’re trying to humiliate you through us. Judy and Denis both know we’re under your protection, so treating us like this is an insult to you. You refusing to help us would be seen as accepting defeat p>
Rosie had already thought of that. From the moment Denis had openly tried to flatter Judy at the auction, it had become painfully clear to her: the attacks on Isabella were actually indirect assaults on her, the mastermind behind Isabella’s actions.
“There’s no use saying this now. What we need is a plan,” Rosie said, fixing her glare on Mack.
Helping Ruby to her feet, Mack quickly started thinking of a plan.
He said, “Miss Harper, right now, only the Harper family or Ethan can deal with Clive and Judy. You are familiar with both Ethan and the Harper family. You can ask them to help you. In fact, I believe Clive’s recent actions might actually be testing Ethan and the Harper family. If they don’t strike back now, they’ll likely become Clive’s next targets. There’s got to be someone more powerful pulling Clive’s strings p>
Rosie was silent, her mind busy considering what Mack had just said. He certainly made a valid argument.
A meaningful look passed between Mack and Isabella; they believed that perhaps Rosie was taking Mack’s words to heart.

Sensing her chance, Isabella spoke up, her voice gentle but urgent. “Rosie, the hospital is discharging me tomorrow. My family and I have nowhere to stay now. Our home is ruined, and rebuilding the house will take months. Besides, we’ve run out of money. Please, would you let us stay in one of your houses p>
Without a word, Rosie tapped on her phone and sent Isabella a hundred thousand. She forwarded an address as well. “Use this money carefully. You can stay in this place for now. Mack, come see me on Monday. I’ll set you up with a job p>
Relief washed over Mack’s face. “Miss Harper, you’ve saved us. We’ll do anything you say from now on p>
Words of thanks tumbled from Isabella as well. One hundred thousand wasn’t much, but it was enough for them to live on for a while.
Fortunately, Isabella remembered a little nest egg she had tucked away in an online investment account. She had completely forgotten about it in all the turmoil earlier. Denis had no idea it even existed, so that account was safe. With a few million set aside, she planned to withdraw the funds as soon as the investment matured.
