?Chapter 292:


    In fact, the Harper Group wasn’t short on talent, boasting numerous engineers, yet they were in need of high-end engineers and designers. Shepard even wanted to offer high sries to recruit outstanding engineers like those in Brenna’s studio.


    Brenna nodded. “I’ll have Tommy handle this matter. He’ll draft and finalize the agreement with the Harper Group.”


    Shepard asked with a hint of curiosity, “What is the sry you offer to your engineers?”


    With a grin, Brenna responded, “They receive high sries and significantmissions. The least anyone in my studio earns annually is a million.”


    Recognizing the difference, Shepard nodded thoughtfully. The engineers’ sries at the Harper Group were nowhere near those numbers, with even the highest-paid one earning only half a million annually.


    “You are really good to your employees,” he said.


    Offering a cautious reminder, Brenna said, “Dad, please don’t try to poach my people. It took me a lot of effort to find them and build them into a team.”


    Shepard let out a knowingugh, acknowledging to himself that he had indeed thought about recruiting Brenna’s team members to join the Harper Group, particrly someone as talented as Tommy.


    Dayster, the Moreno family’s case was scheduled for a public trial. Thiago extended an invitation to Brenna for the court session. Driving her blue car, Brenna arrived before nine.


    At the bottom of the steps, Thiago greeted her with a casual demeanor. As they walked up the steps together, Brenna asked, “Is all the evidence in ce for today?”


    Thiago replied with a soft smile, “We’ve submitted everything, including proof of the drugging incident involving my mother. I’m sparing no effort.”


    Brenna expressed her joy for him, saying, “It’s a relief your mother could get justice now.”


    Thiago’s gratitude was clear as he spoke. “Your help has been invaluable to me. Thanks to you and Mr. Mitchell’s intervention, everything proceeded smoothly. Let me treat you both to a meal as a token of my appreciation sometime. Just tell me when you and Mr. Mitchell are free.”


    Brenna readily agreed. When they entered the courtroom, it was already filled with attendees, including women who had been wronged by Han and their supportive rtives.

    In the audience, many seats were filled by families, mostly parents in their fifties and sixties who hade to support their daughters.


    Brenna noticed how modestly they were dressed. Their clothes were simple, and their faces showed the wear of years spent enduring life’s hardships. Some had traveled a long way just to witness the sentencing of the Moreno family.


    A family of three, seated closest to the aisle, stood and thanked Thiago. The woman, in her fifties and wearing a faded id shirt, had tears streaming down her cheeks. “Thank you, Mr. Moreno. Without you, we might never have seen that monster face justice. My daughter carried the weight of her pain alone for so long.”


    Thiago stepped forward and gently replied, “You don’t have to thank me. I’m the one who should thank you for having the courage to testify. Just like your daughter, I’m a victim, too. And together, we’ll make sure that despicable family pays for everything they’ve done to us.”


    The woman nodded and dabbed at her tears with a tissue. Standing quietly behind her was a girl with long hair, her face hidden behind a ck mask andrge sunsses.


    Though her features were concealed, her outfit hinted at someone once full of confidence and beauty.


    Brenna guessed the girl had likely endured serious emotional trauma at the hands of the Moreno family, the kind that left deep,sting scars. That was why she was refusing to show her face.
