?Chapter 394:


    “How exactly am I trouble? Looks to me like the Harper family’s doing just fine now,” Brenna said.


    Sabine’s temper red. “Don’t y dumb. You know what you did. Ernst was supposed to be the CEO of the Harper Group. When the chairman steps down after a few years, thepany will be his. But because of some ridiculous bet with you, he got forced out of thepany. This is all your fault. Ernst is a very capable person. But just because he doesn’t like you, he’s being kicked out of thepany.”


    She let out a sharp snort, her eyes cold with resentment. In her eyes, Brenna had ruined everything for her. She had been one step away from bing the CEO’s wife, the future wealthiest woman in all of Shirie. But that dream had shattered because of…


    What stung even more was how fiercely Ernst had defended Brenna just now.


    Brenna had dragged herself into some mess with a local crime boss, and somehow, she had dragged Ernst into the matter as well. It was ridiculous. At this rate, the Harper family would soon be ruined because of her!


    “What are you even talking about?” Brenna narrowed her eyes, realizing that Sabine was ambitious and greedy. “Who do you think you are? What happens in my family is none of your business.”


    Sabine’s expression darkened. “I’m about to marry your brother. I’m going to be part of the Harper family soon, and I won’t stand by while you destroy my husband’s future. If you have even a shred of decency, you’ll leave the Harper family. And before you do, cancel that ridiculous bet and let your brother take back his position as the CEO of the Harper Group. Bring Rosie back too. What gives you the right to push people out of thepany the moment you return?”


    Brennaughed. “And who do you think you are? You’re not even part of the Harper family yet, and you already want to meddle in our affairs. You are so full of yourself. And do you really think you can be part of the Harper family?”


    Now it all made sense to Brenna. No wonder her mother didn’t like Sabine. This woman was possessive to a fault. She didn’t really love Ernst; she was after his wealth and status.

    “Let me make something clear. As long as I’m here, you’ll never be my sister-inw,” Brenna said firmly. “Whatever happens in the Harper family has nothing to do with you. And if you were paying attention, you’d have noticed Ernst is already siding with me.”


    Sabine shot daggers at Brenna and said, “Ernst still listens to me.”


    As long as Ernst listened to her, the Harper Group would eventually be hers.


    She was certain of that.


    “Really?” Brenna scoffed, wondering where Sabine got her confidence from.


    Sabine tilted her chin upward. With eyes filled with disdain, she looked at the tiara on Brenna’s head. “You’re nothing more than someone riding on the Harper family’s coattails. Do you even know what people say about you?”


    Brenna didn’t bother replying. She could already guess Sabine had nothing worthwhile to offer. So she just watched silently as Sabine spoke.


    Sabine rolled her eyes, clearly unimpressed by the tiara on Brenna’s head.


    “You’re just using your looks and charm to sway Mr. and Mrs. Harper. That’s all. Mr. Harper has directed every possible resource to you. That lecture you gave? The Harper Group probably hired a whole team of experts just to make you look smart. You probably spent more time preparing your image than the actual content.”
