Even if the worst comes to pass and you're cut off from the family finances, Ernst and I won't let you suffer. We will support you financially" Brenna's words cout quickly and as sharp as a blade. "What if you're the one who loses in the end? Have you ever thought about that?" Rosie, clearly irritated by the response, looked at Ernst and said, "Did you hear that? The disrespect.

With a serious look, Ernst said, "That can't be right. If what you're saying is true, then someone must have tampered with the footage."

Rosie's tears fell more freely, her emotions fueled by his support. She nodded eagerly and said, "That's exactly what I think. But Darrell, who's in charge of the surveillance, insists he watched everything all day without any issues."
