The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 755:

Giselle offered solace, saying, “We can visit her regularly. If she’s not ready to move here, we shouldn’t push her.”

Shepard let out a frustrated sigh. “Tessa adored Rosie, but look at Rosie now. Since your grandfather’s death, Rosie hasn’t once checked on Tessa. She’s so ungrateful. When she needed favors from your grandparents, she showed up quicker than anyone. Now that your grandfather’s gone and your grandmother holds no shares, Rosie can’t be bothered.”

Ernst defended Rosie, saying, “She has been swamped with some messy problems lately. She’s under a lot of pressure.”

He had heard about her turmoil through news reports. Since the Harper family members had been attacked one after another in recent days, he hadn’t been in touch with Rosie.

This only fueled Shepard’s anger. “She brought that on herself. Our family may not have given her shares, but we always treated her well before. Yet she tried to harm us. How could she be so cruel?”

Dalton said, “I don’t think Rosie’s behind all those incidents. Consider this: the Harper family’s shares are split among many relatives. Even if she killed shareholders, she wouldn’t inherit their portions. It doesn’t make sense.”

Shepard followed the reasoning but wasn’t convinced. “What if her goal is mutual destruction? What if she just wants to take everyone down with her?”

Dalton shook his head firmly. “No way. She has built successful businesses over the years, especially in Opril. She’s too smart to throw it all away like that.”

Brenna said, “Dalton’s got a point. Ethan is looking into it, and it seems likely Maxley’s siblings are the culprits, trying to weaken us and undercut Maxley’s influence in Vanland.”

Giselle, hearing this, immediately zeroed in on Brenna. “Are you still seeing Ethan? His mother treated you terribly. Brenna, I’m attending a reunion with old classmates soon; it’s a great chance to network. I’ll scout some eligible men for you. You don’t have to be with Ethan. Ethan’s mother dislikes you, and I don’t like her and her son, either!”

Brenna laughed softly. “Mom, Ethan has already settled things with his family.”

“His mother won’t make things difficult for me anymore.”

Giselle gave Brenna an exasperated eye-roll, feeling resigned. All three of her children had their own minds, and she couldn’t sway any of them easily.

She said, “I won’t meddle, but listen, take your time to really get to know each other before even thinking about marriage. People can mask their true selves, but their flaws will show up eventually. Marry too fast, and you’ll miss Ethan’s faults; then you’ll be the one hurting in the marriage.”

Brenna quickly nodded. “I understand.”

On Monday, Brenna headed to the office. All morning, she noticed several female coworkers lingering near her door.

When Lorna came in with water, Brenna asked, “Is something on their minds? Why are they not working and just hanging around my office?”

Lorna giggled. “Brenna, word got out that the famous singer Dalton is your brother. He’s got his first concert coming up, and tickets are nearly impossible to get. They are hoping to score some from you but are too shy to ask.”
