Chapter 96
Chapter 96:
Rosie believed that was so unfair.
What right did Brenna have to walk in and claim wealth and privileges she hadn’t earned?
She was determined to stop this from happening.
Rosie glanced coldly across the table. Aside from her brother, everyone seemed to disapprove of the agreement. But that only made her more determined to stand her ground.
She said, “I’m not doing this out of spite. I have my reasons for doing this p>
Brenna’s expression remained composed, though she knew Rosie wanted to strip her of any access to the family’s resources. In fact, she had never even wanted the Harper Group’s shares. With two successful studios of her own, she had more than enough wealth to sustain herself.
Still, Rosie’s blatant hostility made her uncomfortable. She was just as much a part of the Harper family as Rosie was, so why should she be denied access to the family resources?
She wasn’t going to back down.
Luther studied the agreement, his displeasure evident as he shook his head. Tessa’s eyes were heavy with disappointment as she looked at Rosie.
How could Rosie be this petty? After everything Shepard and Giselle had done for her, how could she target their daughter, her own cousin, like this?
Brenna said to Rosie sharply, “You said you have your reasons for doing this. So say them now p>
A flicker of satisfaction crossed Rosie’s face when she saw that Brenna was angry. People tended to act irrationally when angry, and she wanted Brenna to be angry.

Rosie crossed her arms over her chest and smirked at Brenna as she presented her argument.
“Sure, you look like Giselle—there’s no denying that. But looking alike isn’t proof of anything. There are plenty of unrelated people who resemble each other. Who’s to say you didn’t undergo plastic surgery just to scam your way into our Harper family? I’m not trying to target you, but that’s indeed a possibility p>
A ripple of murmurs spread through the room. Ernst nodded and said, “Rosie has a point. I suggest we conduct a DNA test p>
No one outright objected. After all, Rosie’s accusation, however outrageous, sounded plausible enough to be considered.
Even Ableson and Jillian exchanged approving looks.
Ernst turned to Brenna, his voice steady. “Would you also be willing to undergo a medical examination to prove you haven’t had plastic surgery?” he asked.
Brenna seethed with frustration. The Harper family’s wealth meant nothing to her—she had no desire to exploit their fortune, nor would she ever stoop to faking an identity for personal gain. “The Harper family may have power and influence, but I have no intention of latching onto it. If you refuse to believe me, I’ll just leave,” she said coldly.
