The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Once His Wife, Now His Rival 219 Chapter 219 Being Kicked Out Isabella's face clouded over immediately. The very idea of meeting Denis in her current ragged, unkempt state filled her with a sense of fear. Denis was not a man of second chances-one look at her in this condition would likely make him abandon her for good.

Despite seeing Denis as her beacon of hope, she made a firm decision-she would only seek him out once she had returned to her former, elegant self.

Thinking the sthing, Ruby stood up, smoothing her clothes with an exaggerated sense of elegance. Even in the face of their difficult situation, she still looked arrogant.

"Brenna," she said, her tone laced with a false sweetness. "I understand that you hate us. However, this cruelty beneath your refined appearance? It doesn't reflect well on you in the eyes of others. Here's our proposal- house us for just a few days and provide meals and basic clothing. We'll find work soon. In no time, we'll be on our feet again. After a couple of months, we will move out once we have an income. Even someone as cold as you should be able to agree to this, right?" Her tone carried the guise of a negotiation.

Mack interjected quickly to convince Brenna, "We have already made compromises. You can't be so hard on us just because we're going through a rough patch. Don't forget, we turned the Barrett Group from a small workshop into a publicly recognized company. If you provide us with sstartup capital, we'll bounce back. And when we do, we'll make sure to repay your generosity." Ruby's mood shifted as a new determination took hold of her. Mack's words reminded her of something. She said, "The Harper family's fortune is vast, practically endless. And I know you have that billionaire boyfriend. If you don't want us to stay here, you can just give us smoney. Ten billion would settle this. Fund our fresh start, and we give you our word that you won't see us ever again. With Mack's and Alec's ability, we're certain to return to our former glory." Brenna's response was cold and firm. "You won't get a penny from me. I've already repaid you for raising me. Didn't I make that clear?" With a sly smirk, Brenna brushed aside the Barrett family's inflated sense of accomplishment. "You all love to boast about how Barrett Group grew from a simple workshop to a listed company. But if you were truly capable, would the Barrett Group have ended in failure?" She then turned to Julia and said, "Didn't we have leftovers from my birthday celebration yesterday? Just hand that to them; it should be enough." Julia stepped out of the pantry, a sneer spreading across her face as she took in the sight of the Barretts. "Unfortunately," she said. "Such terrible timing. There were plenty of leftovers, Miss Harper, but your staff from the stutook most of them. What was left was still too much for us, so Darrell decided it would be better to feed the neighborhood strays with it. So we..." 18:14 11 Chapter 219 Being Kicked Out She cast a deliberate glance toward the window, making it clear that the scraps had gone to the strays Brenna just smiled, not saying a word.

Julia's eyes narrowed as she addressed the Barrett family, her tone dripping with false sweetness. "Naturally, if you'd rather have what we usually give to the strays, I can ask someone to fetch sof our leftovers for you" She paused deliberately. "I doubt the neighborhood cats and dogs would mind sharing" Laughter echoed from the pantry, where servants had gathered to watch the scene unfold.

Enraged, Alec and Mack were about to hit Brenna, their fists tightening and sleeves rolled up in a wave of anger. However, Darrell and his security team swiftly intervened, pinning them to the floor and beating them up.

Despite a bloody nose, Alec hurled insults at Brenna. "You heartless wretch! We asked for help, and you mocked us? Just wait-you'll regret this!" Brenna's order was sharp and swift. "Get them out of here." The guards dragged the Barrett family away quickly.

Julia then turned to the other servants. "Let's clean the house thoroughly. Those people dirtied this place." Having been forcibly removed, the Barrett family faced their most shameful moment.

Alec rubbed his aching shoulder, his voice filled with frustration as he spoke. "After everything we've done for that ungrateful girl, she treated us like garbage! Our time, our resources-it's all been for nothing!" Mack, wiping the blood from his split lip, shot an angry glance at Alec. "So, this was your big plan? You honestly thought she'd forget how we treated her? We brought this upon ourselves."

Isabella, her cheeks burning with embarrassment, said, "When we were said, kicked out many onlookers saw us and took photos of us. This is all your fault! I told you she'd never help us!"

Ruby snapped at her children, her voice sharp with fury, "Enough! If you had even a fraction of Brenna's talent, we wouldn't be in this mess!" She paused for a moment and then said, "So, where do we sleep tonight? We have no place to go now." Mack had thought of a place to go stago but hesitated to bring it up.

Faced with no other options, he reluctantly said, "There's the luxury apartment in the east district, the one Dad secured for Ms. Tucker."

Ruby's suspicion was immediately aroused when she heard the name. Seeing the change in Alec's behavior, she snapped, "Ms. Tucker? Who is that? Alec, are you having an affair?" Alec stayed silent, avoiding her gaze as he turned away.

Mack tried to sway him, saying, "Con, Dad, we don't have a choice now! We've got to head to Ms. Tuck place." 18:14 11
