NovelEnglishChapter 1343:
Brenna muttered, “Wasn't she supposed to be behind bars? How is she free?” Lilith, following Brenna’s line of
sight, noticed a classmate—someone she only barely knew.
With a polite smile, she acknowledged her presence.
The moment Sylvie spotted Brenna, her expression turned icy. Memories of her year in jail—and the Harper
family’s role in her downfall—flashed through her mind. Hatred flared in her eyes as she looked at Brenna from
across the room.
Whitney Higgins, Sylvie’s cousin, noticed the tension. “Do you know her, Sylvie?”
With a chilly voice, Sylvie replied, “That's the woman who nearly destroyed our family.”
Whitney actually knew who Brenna was, though Brenna didn’t know her. Old memories stirred inside Whitney.
Back in their college days, she and Lilith had both studied finance, and Lilith had been far less privileged than

gnawed at Whitney.
“Should we go say hi, Sylvie?”
Logic told her it made sense to network with people like Lilith and Brenna, but every instinct made her bristle at
their privilege.
Sylvie, still carrying a grudge over her prison sentence, hesitated before nodding. “Fine. Let's go.”
They strode toward Brenna’s table.
Before they could get too close, Libby and Finley stepped in, placing themselves in their path. Finley spoke up.
“Is there something you need?”
Sylvie realized that Finley was a bodyguard and didn’t dare to try to push past, knowing that would only bring
trouble upon herself.

She said, “I'm an old friend of Miss Harper's. Just wanted to say hello.”
Whitney added, “Miss Richardson and | studied at the suniversity together before.”
Brenna kept her expression indifferent. Sylvie had always been Rosie's follower, so Brenna had no reason to
welcher. She replied coolly, “As | recall, we were never close. What do you need from me?”
Finley gave a slight, mocking smile. “If you've got something to say, say it here.”
Sylvie could only glare at Brenna in frustration. Every sharp word she wanted to throw at Brenna died on her lips,
thanks to the bodyguards standing guard.
Defeated, she stayed silent.
Meanwhile, Whitney felt disdain towards Sylvie. How could she back down so easily like this?
Trying another tactic, Whitney focused on Lilith and gave her a faint smile. “So, Lilith, word is you're marrying
Ernst, the CEO of the Harper Group. How did you manage to catch the attention of someone like that? Maybe you
can share your secret, so | can try my luck with a wealthy man, too.”
Initially, Lilith had been ready to reconnect with Whitney and keep things friendly, but the sarcasm in Whitney's
voice immediately made her change her mind.
She said, “I doubt you'd be able to pull it off, Whitney. My mother and my fiancé’s mother have been best friends
for years. Unless your mother has a relationship like that, | don’t think there's much you can do.”
Brenna looked at Whitney, thinking she was foolish. She then exchanged a glance with Lilith, her voice calm as it
reached her ears. “You're going to run the Harper family someday. Are you really going to let her talk down to
you? Go on, show her who she’s dealing with.”
