NovelEnglishChapter 1289:
“Ethan, you're really giving Brenna shares?” Rosie asked, incredulous. “Do you realize what that means? With
more shares, Brenna could sway the company’s decisions!”
Ethan didn’t so much as glance at Rosie, fully aware of her motives. “I'm well aware of that,” he said coolly. “And
| don’t need your reminders.”
Rosie's spirits sank, utterly deflated. Ethan knew the whole truth, yet he was still willing to give more shares to
Brenna.
Why?
Why was she left empty-handed, forced to claw for what should rightfully be hers, while Brenna received
everything with such ease?
The unfairness stung deeply.
Rosie sank into a chair, casting a glance at Tessa, who, uncharacteristically, held her tongue, as if oblivious to
the unfolding before her.
“Lettake care of that for you,” Ethan said, slipping on disposable gloves and deftly peeling shrimp for

Brenna’s face lit up with a radiant smile. “Thank you,” she replied.
Ethan sought to put Brenna at ease. “Don’t worry about the shares,” he reassured her. “You purchased them fair
and square. They're yours, legally and rightfully. | won't reclaim them. Pay no mind to others’ chatter.”
Rosie felt the sting of Ethan's words, as though they were aimed squarely at her, accusing her of meddling.
She felt aggrieved and said, “Ethan, | had no intention of causing harm. | am sorry. It was just a
misunderstanding. Please don’t be upset.”
Ethan nodded in response. “Alright.” He then set the peeled shrimp on Brenna'’s plate, sparking a twinge of
jealousy in Rosie.

Even after years of marriage to Maxley, Rosie had never received such tender care from him. Their union had
always been one of practicality, not affection.
Now, she worked tirelessly, fearing that if she lost her wealth, Maxley would abandon her.
Ethan’s demeanor remained impassive, showing no sign of softening toward Rosie.
Desperate, Rosie turned to Brenna, her voice pleading. “Brenna, please don’t be mad. | wasn’t trying to cause
trouble. | only spoke out of concern that you might lose those shares someday. | was just looking out for you.”
“Really? It sounds more like you think | don’t deserve them,” Brenna replied sharply, her tone cutting through
Rosie’s excuses.
Rosie's eyes darted to Tessa, who finally broke her silence. “Cnow, let's not bicker over such a trifling
matter,” Tessa said gently. “Rosie's already said sorry.”
With a bright tone, Brenna said, “I've accepted her apology. She should have weighed her words more carefully.
Honestly, she never used to be this reckless. | can’t figure out what's gotten into her lately. Smight say
she’s jealous of how well things are going for me.”
A twist of discomfort ran through Tessa as she caught the sharp edge in Brenna’s voice aimed at Rosie.
Meeting Brenna’s gaze, Tessa responded firmly, “Rosie’s been through so much, and sometimes, she just says
the wrong thing. She’s only looking out for you and trying to steer you clear of trouble. You've always had the
upper hand as her older cousin and Harper Group's heiress. Let it go. Don’t make this bigger than it needs to
be.”
Tessa’s thoughts drifted to how Brenna always seemed to belittle Rosie, as if she wanted to stand against her at
every turn.
