?Chapter 313:


    This sensational news spread like wildfire across variouspany chats.


    In just a few minutes, everyone in the building was aware of the matter.


    Reaching the thirty-third floor, Brenna began setting up for her lecture when she noticed the audience’s odd looks and whispering.


    A young woman in a crisp white outfit approached Brenna on the stage and showed her something on her phone. “Miss Harper, there’s a situation.”


    Brenna looked up to see a strikingly young and attractive woman, likely in her early twenties. She had chestnut-colored wavy hair and wore a professional yet friendly smile, clutching a phone.


    “Who are you?” Brenna asked, sensing the woman was probably a secretary rather than an executive.


    Brenna was scheduled to give a lecture today, and the Harper Group was supposed to provide two assistants. Yet, as she nearedpletion of her setup, no one from the Harper Group hade to wee her. It seemed unusual for such arge corporation, especially since she was the chairman’s daughter.


    Something felt off. Brenna’s gaze hardened as she studied the woman, who showed no signs of nervousness or remorse. There was even a slight hint of gloating in her demeanor.


    “I’m the special assistant to Mr. Harper. My name is Sabine Gordon, and Mr. Harper sent me to help you,” Sabine introduced herself confidently, her eyes sharp, asionally flicking to Brenna’sputer screen, evidently waiting for something specific to disy.


    “You’rete,” Brenna said inly, dismissing Sabine’s earlier mention of an issue and highlighting her tardiness.


    She confronted Sabine directly, saying, “You should have been here to greet me the moment I arrived at the Harper Group. Do you realize the inconvenience caused by your dy?”


    She then motioned towards herputer. “The equipment wasn’t even pre-tested. Is this what one should expect from Ernst’s special assistant?”


    Brenna’s voice was amplified through her microphone, making her words audible to everyone in the room. The hall buzzed with whispers, painting the Harper Group employees as unprofessional.


    Still, some people felt sympathy for Sabine, thinking Brenna was being overly harsh.


    ?????????ν??????.??????, ???????? ???????????????? ????


    Sabine, clearly upset, nced at her colleagues in the audience who appeared embarrassed for her.


    She hurriedly said to Brenna, “Miss Harper, there was an unforeseen dy which caused myte arrival. I am addressing it urgently.”


    She handed her phone to —


    Brenna disyed several active chat groups within the Harper Group, buzzing with discussions about her son more than their work.


    A brief look of satisfaction shed across Sabine’s face as she anticipated Brenna’s reaction, eager to see how she would handle the revtions in front of the Harper Group’s engineers and guests.


    Brenna grabbed Sabine’s phone and quickly scrolled through the messages. She found countless insults using her of having a child out of wedlock, with some iming she had no right to give them a lecture. If her father weren’t the chairman of the Harper Group, those people might have even gone as far as insulting her family.


    After scrolling through more messages, Brenna discovered photos of herself with Patrick.


    “Patrick,e over here,” Brenna said to Patrick, who was engrossed in ying with his model.
