?Chapter 608:


    Brenna cut her off, her tone blunt and unyielding. “But what? Thest thing Grandpa said before he passed was that the Harper Group must never be divided. If you insist on tearing it apart, you’re defying his wishes.”


    Rosie was taken aback. She had never anticipated that Brenna, who typically kept to herself and always seemed indifferent to this kind of thing, would be the first to challenge her. Since when did someone who had only returned to the family a few months ago have the gall to interfere in this?


    “This is the Harper family’s business. Who do you think you are to meddle?” Rosie shot back, her anger igniting. “You’re just worried I’ll slice into the inheritance and shrink your own share, aren’t you? Stop pretending you are doing this for the family; you are selfish!”


    Brenna had braced herself for that very response. Everyone in the Harper family was currently burdened with guilt over Luther’s death. Even Tessa remained in the hospital, unaware that Luther had passed. Aside from Brenna, no one in the family would stand up to Rosie. If Rosie insisted on iming her shares, they might actually let her take them.


    That was why Brenna had to take a stand.


    Her greatest concern was Shepard. For the past two decades, ever since Luther had stepped down as president of the Harper Group, Shepard had poured his heart and soul into running thepany. To him, the Harper Group was as precious as his own child.


    If Rosie took away that much money, it could spell disaster for thepany.


    Despite its impressive market valuation, the Harper Group’s cash flow was far from plentiful. Losing forty billion would deal a devastating blow.


    Shepard hoped that Brenna could persuade Rosie.


    Now, as he watched Brenna’s determined stance, a flicker of hope ignited within him. Perhaps Brenna, who had only recently returned to the family, truly understood the stakes and possessed the courage to act.


    “Anyone who is part of this family has the right to interfere. You and I are both Grandpa’s granddaughters. Why do you get to do whatever you want, even if it means pushing Grandpa to death? Why can’t I stand up against you?” Brenna said.

    “I didn’t mean to cause Grandpa’s death! Why do you keep mentioning that? What do you want from me? Should I die to atone for it? How can you be so cruel?” Rosie shot back, realizing how piercing Brenna’s words were.


    Why hadn’t she noticed this side of Brenna before? What had ignited this fire in her?


    Honestly, if Brenna had simply remained silent, Rosie was confident she could have swayed the others, even if she had to wield guilt like a weapon to pressure the family intopliance.


    “Grandpa promised me I’d get my father’s shares. Are you all really going to defy his wishes?” Rosie said, attempting to bypass Brenna and rally the rest of the family.


    She turned to Shepard. “Uncle Shepard, didn’t Grandpa promise me I’d inherit my father’s shares?”


    Shepard nodded slowly. “He always said he would give you your father’s shares eventually. He was simply holding onto them for you.”
