The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 89 Chapter 89 If You Don't Want To Go Bankrupt,...

The Barretts doubted Rosie's good intentions, firmly believing that every Harper family member harbored deep resentment towards them, wishing to see them destroyed. They were convinced that Rosie's visit was not to help them but to further degrade them.

With malice, Ruby said, "You're that cursed orphan whose existence caused her parents' death!" Rosie recoiled from these harsh words. Not one to ignore such insults and knowing the Barretts had already faced numerous hits, she felt that a direct confrontation wouldn't significantly alter their plight.

Thus, she decisively grabbed Mack and pulled him aside. Taken aback by Rosie's assertiveness, Mack, already aching, lost his balance and stumbled easily to the side.

At the next moment, Rosie slapped Ruby multiple times, her face displaying intense ferocity. "What right do you have to say something like that about me? Nobody has ever dared to insultto my face!" she exclaimed in anger.

Consumed by fury, Rosie recalled the painful memory of her parents' fat accident just after her birth-a car crash that claimed the lives of her parents and nanny, leaving her the lone survivor.

Sometimes, she tortured herself with the guilt of potentially bringing bad luck to her family, a notion that haunted her.

Her family's prestigious social standing usually prevented such accusations from being voiced openly. But today, Ruby had said that.

In a rage, Rosie pinned Ruby down and struck her repeatedly, letting out her frustration until the physical pain in her hand stopped her.

Ruby's screams echoed through the area and shocked the people in the hotel, yet the staff and security turned a blind eye, effectively allowing Rosie to continue without intervention.

When Rosie finally stopped, she rose from where Ruby lay and shot a contemptuous glare at Alec and Mack, saying, "Cowards!" Ruby, Alec's wife and Mack's mother, had just been subjected to a severe beating, and yet, neither of the men had intervened.

Such behavior was truly reprehensible.

Perhaps Alec and Mack were too intimidated by Rosie's fury sparked by Ruby's comments to step in.

At that moment, Mack, seething with anger, confronted Rosie, saying, "Miss Harper, you've humiliated us today. Remember, a lot can change over time. I don't believe the Harpers will always be on top." 0.0% 00:11 Chapter 89 If You Don't Want To Go Bankrupt You Better Listen toRosie viewed the Barretts with disdain, reflecting on how Mack and Alec's previous inaction had given her the opportunity to beat Ruby.

What was the point of Mack's threat now? Rosie's response was cold, her smile chilling. "If you don't want to go bankrupt, you'd better listen to me," she said.

Alec assisted Ruby in standing up, and the couple remained silent, focusing intently on what their son would say Mack viewed Rosie as completely irrational. He was baffled by her intentions-did she intend to dismantle the Barrett family or was she offering an odd form of help? "What is it that you actually want?" he asked.

Rosie walked over, holding out her hand, and said, "Giveyour phone so we can exchange contact information. I'll send work your way when it's suitable, but you must adhere to my commands. If not, you'll find yourself bankrupt and without a home." "Really? That's hard to believe!" Mack responded skeptically, yet he still pulled out his phone and shared his contact information.

Rosie tapped Mack's cheek with disdain, a smirk on her face. "Just wait and see." With that, she walked back towards the Peace Hotel.

Only then did Ruby begin to cry out loudly, "She hit me!" Alec and Mack shared a look before both spat in the direction Rosie had just left.

Alec said in anger, "There's no making peace with the Harpers! One day, I'll bring them down!" Mack, seething with resentment, muttered under his breath, "Brenna will get what's coming to her!" Rather than heading home, the wounded family proceeded directly to the hospital, where they remained for several days to recover.

Brenna, unbothered by these events, was woken the following morning by a reminder from Sylvie to meet at the Imperial Bar in the evening.

After ending the call, she went back to bed, not rising until the afternoon.

Upon waking again, Brenna settled at the dining table, where she sifted through a pile of messages fram e Ethan, several friend requests, and new chat group notifications, only managing to eat after addressing these digital demands.

Rosie also got up around this time. She approached Brenna and said calmly, "I was wrong about you earlier. Let's put it behind us. It's just a small misunderstanding." Brenna, dismissing the gesture, responded coolly, "There's no need for you to put on an act like this in front of 1. me. I don't think we need to becfriends."

Rosie had said it was just a small understanding? Brenna had never bought into Rosie's claims of M misunderstanding; she saw it as Rosie's inability to accept the special place she held in Shepard's and Giselle's 44.8% 0011 hearts.

"Why can't you be a little nicet?" Rosie couldn't stand Brenna's arrogance. It omr was obvious to her that Brenna O. wanted to win over the Harper family and stay, but her forced indifference made her coff as insincere, which irritated Rosie
