NovelEnglishChapter 1212:
A sharp, cold laugh escaped Rosie. “You really don’t get it, do you? Brenna is backed by one of the most powerful
families in Shirie. She has influence everywhere, and her boyfriend can make anything disappear. Even if she
took someone's life, the Harper family and Ethan would cover it up without a second thought. You need to think
about this carefully.”
Rosie’s words landed like a heavy blow. Gracie remembered when her family had been wealthy, and how her
own father had always found a way out of trouble for her. Now, Brenna had the Harper family in her corner, and
there was no way this matter could bring her down.
Disappointment settled in as Gracie realized all her hard work to gather evidence would not stand a chance
against Brenna’s power.
A sense of defeat washed over her. “Rosie, am | supposed to just let Brenna win?”

Rosie had already thought everything through. Every step Gracie had taken had been part of her plan.
“Hold on to the evidence and stay quiet. You're letting your emotions get the better of you now. Bringing Brenna
down will take more than just this. For now, act like nothing happened. We need to follow our plan and not let
this small thing throw us off course.”
Reluctant as she was, Gracie put her faith in Rosie, certain that Rosie would never steer her wrong.
“So what should I do now?” she asked.
A low chuckle cfrom Rosie. “Are you still hoping to win Ethan over?”
Without a moment's hesitation, Gracie said yes.
“Then listen tocarefully. Head to the roof and act as if you are going to jump. | will make sure someone sees
you and calls the police,” Rosie said.
Later, while people were taking walks, Gracie sat on the rooftop terrace with a bottle of wine, several empty
bottles scattered nearby.

A faint buzz from the alcohol had settled over her. She drained the last sip and then tossed the empty wine
bottle down the building.
The bottle plummeted from the rooftop and exploded into shards upon hitting the pavement.
Glass scattered in every direction, and the sound startled an elderly couple passing by. The shock nearly sent
them into a panic.
Both of them peered upward, trying to spot who was up on the roof, but their failing eyesight made it impossible
to see clearly.
Not long after, someone called the police after seeing Gracie on the rooftop, ready to jump.
Ten minutes later, a police cruiser pulled up at the building. Officers quickly started setting up an inflatable air
cushion, ready for the worst.
“Check if she has friends or family close by and contact them. | am going upstairs to try and talk to her,” said
one officer with authority.
Splitting into teams, the officers started asking people in the area about Gracie.
Two of them wasted no tand made their way to the rooftop.
Nearly an hour later, Ethan arrived at the scene.
On the roof, the officers were still working to convince Gracie to step away from the edge.
