?Chapter 291:


    Rosie lingered at the house’s entrance, and Shepard’s intense gaze followed her until she got into her car and drove away.


    Shepard realized it was crucial to hire a bodyguard for Brenna now. Choosing a female bodyguard became his priority, envisioning someone who could stick close to Brenna, apanying her everywhere—even to the restroom.


    He believed Rosie wouldn’t give up so easily. A wave of disappointment swept over him as he thought about her. He med himself for raising someone like her, someone who had tried to harm his daughter.


    The memories of the hardships Brenna had faced while with the Barrett family weighed heavily on him. To his surprise, today he had seen the Barrett family’s daughter at the Harper Group’s prestigious design contest.


    How had the Barrett family managed to avoid bankruptcy? Who was in charge of handling the Barrett family? Could it be that Ernst was secretly providing them with support?


    He let out a coldugh, suspecting this must be true.


    From now on, Shepard decided he would take direct action against the Barrett family.


    Instead of taking Ernst’s car, Rosie drove off in her own white car from the garage.


    A faint smile tugged at Brenna’s lips, as she had been waiting for this moment ever since she had tampered with Rosie’s car.


    With a surge of satisfaction, Brenna went upstairs.


    Giselle followed Brenna, wanting to offerfort.


    “Oh, my dear, I am so sorry for not protecting you better. You’ve suffered so much with the Barrett family, never having enough to eat or wear, and now, you have to face your cousin’s betrayal. You truly deserve so much better,” Giselle said, her eyes filled with sorrowful tears.


    Brenna instinctively offered reassurance, saying, “I’m fine, aren’t I? Don’t worry about me.”


    Giselle’s heart ached more intensely. “How can a young woman like you withstand so many attackers on her own? Where did you acquire your great fighting skills? It seems you’ve faced such dangers before. Your tragic experience happened…


    Because we lost you. You were meant to live afortable life, yet you were forced to endure suffering. My heart aches for you.”

    Brenna responded with a gentle hug. In truth, it was through facing such trials that she had built her strength.


    She now came to realize the deep affection her parents held for her. They weed her wholeheartedly into the family.


    A feeling of warmth and reassurance washed over her, inspiring her to cherish her parents in the future.


    At the dinner table, Shepard asked about Brenna’s studio and its potential integration with the Harper Group’s design team.


    “What are your thoughts? The design department manager told me that everyone was impressed with your work. Your personal entry won first ce, and your team secured second ce. Your contributions are remarkable. Would you consider joining the Harper Group with your entire team?”


    Brenna had thought about this beforehand and answered, “Actually, Dad, my studio prefers to maintain its independence. We can draft a partnership with the Harper Group, but mergingpletely isn’t possible. We’remitted to several long-term contracts with otherpanies, whichplicates the matter of joining the Harper Group.”


    Shepard showed no disappointment; instead, he admired Brenna’s wisdom. “It’s impressive how you’ve managed to lead so many talented people at your age. I respect your decision. The Harper Group will happily proceed with just a partnership with your studio, just like the otherpanies.”
