NovelEnglishOnce His Wife, Now His Rival 236 Chapter 236 Rosie Causing Trouble Again Brenna quietly nodded, skillfully removing the hidden earpiece and holding it in her hand. She knew the military would eventually find it, so it was better to surrender it willingly than risk being accused of hiding it.
Her judgment proved wise.
After a night of grueling interrogation at a Shirie military base, Brenna and the others were released by noon the next day.
It was only upon her release that Brenna discovered the truth behind the operation. The guards protecting her had tipped off the authorities, knowing they couldn't afford to lose her, a crucial asset in fighter jet design.
The military, though unable to gather concrete evidence of Jade's plan to harm Brenna, decided it was safer to be cautious and arranged for a secure escort to take Brenna back to her home.

With the door shut behind them, Ernst let out a heavy sigh. "We are done, Sabine.
I think we're not right for each other." He spoke in a firm tone, effortlessly tossing his suit jacket onto the couch. The events earlier had only reinforced his thought that Sabine was unable to get along well with Brenna.
He had finally grasped the worries his mother had expressed earlier. Sabine's manipulative nature and constant scheming all pointed to one thing-she was after his money.
Sabine felt aggrieved, her eyes welling up with tears. Her dress still bore a noticeable stain, yet Ernst had shown no concern for her on their way back. Now, he was even putting an end to their relationship.
"Why? Just because of what I said to your sister? I thought I was protecting your interests! She took away your shares and pushed you out of the Harper Group. Don't you resent her for that?" Her voice, a mix of anger and confusion, echoed as she asked, "What did I actually do wrong?" In desperation, she gripped Ernst's hand.
Ernst's expression was one of annoyance. "You know exactly why. Haven't I explained before? I gave Bren: those shares willingly, and she didn't forceout. I was the one who chose to sign that agreement. Wh blher for my decisions? Yesterday, you sided with her enemies and openly plotted against her. If we got married, you would spend your whole life opposing Brenna. That is not something I want." Taken by surprise, Sabine paused, her lip trembling. "I... I never meant for that to happen. I just couldn't stand watching her take advantage of you. Let's not let this cause any more conflict between us. I realize I was wrong.
1816 From now on, I'll make an effort to get along with her. I will even apologize to her if you wantto." Sabine was painfully aware that losing Ernst would also mean losing a lifestyle that most could only dream of. Coming from humble beginnings, she was unable to find anyone better than Ernst. She was unwilling to let go of him.
Her intentions had always been to help Ernst regain his rightful place and shares in the Harper Group.
Now cut off from the Harper Group, Ernst controlled only several smaller firms that, while successful, didn't offer nearly the financial return of his previous dividends.
Sabine reminded herself to be patient and strategic in her tactics.
It was clear Ernst held Brenna in high regard. Sabotaging their relationship would be difficult and would demand a more subtle approach.

After a brief pause, Ernst gave in. "Please, just try to get along with her. Brenna can be very friendly, as long as she's not provoked." Sabine offered a reassuring smile. "I understand. Why don't you go relax and take a shower? I'll prepare sfood for you."
Ernst nodded in agreement. Then, he saw the stains on her dress. "Youn might want to change out of that dress and take a shower as well." Fortunately, the two bathrooms in his duplex made it possible for them to shower at the stime.
Meanwhile, after taking a shower, Brenna headed to her room when Julia appeared, offering a plate of grapes. Ms Harper, Mrs. Harper wants you to prepare for a weekend trip to visit your grandfather. She couldn't reach you earlier and requested you call her back." Brenna responded coolly, "I'll keep that in mind. Are there any other updates from the household?"
"Everything is fine," Julia replied.
"Though Mrs. Harper seemed troubled after her visit with Rosien Ve yesterday. At dinner, she mentioned to your father that Rosie had been complaining to your grandfather about you." Brenna nodded, having already expected this. Rosie was known for causing whenever she felt overlooked. Unfamiliar with Luther's current attitude, Brenna prepared herself for possible criticism during her upcomin visit to him.
After calling Giselle, Brenna muted her phone and slept, missing calls from Sabine.
She woke later to see a series of missed calls from unknown numbers and messages from Greta.
