?Chapter 792:


    He tried to appear regal, but to the Harper family, he seemed merely arrogant. His superior attitude only increased their dislike for him. They believed that since he hade here to make amends, he should at least show some sincerity.


    Shepard said sharply, “If there’s nothing else, the two of you should leave. We have things to do and won’t keep you here for long.”


    If not for Maxley’s status, Shepard would not have even let Rosie in.


    Rosie had once gone to great lengths to harm the Harper family, trying to bring down theirpany and severing tiespletely. Now, she came back talking about reconciliation but still carried herself with an air of superiority. Did she really believe the Harpers would just agree to whatever she wanted?


    Rosie said to Shepard, “I’ve called you Dad for years. Can’t you at least show me a little respect now? I admit I was wrong before. I was foolish and immature. Can’t you give me another chance? To be honest, Maxley is fighting for the crown, and we need the Harper family’s support. If you help us, and Maxley ends up winning the throne, he’ll repay you. He’ll make sure the Harper family receives enormous rewards.”


    Her voice was impatient,ced with frustration. She believed that, considering her status, saying these words was beneath her.


    After the way Dalton had openly disrespected her earlier, she had no intention of putting on a show of politeness.


    Shepard’s voice was sharp with anger. “Don’t refer to me as Dad. I’m not your father; you’re Carsen’s daughter. You’re royalty now. Someone like me doesn’t deserve to be called your father.”


    Rosie hadn’t considered him as her father when she had turned her back on the Harper family. Now that she needed the Harper family’s help, she wanted to talk about their rtionship like that?


    Ernst kept quiet, his brow furrowed the entire time. The girl he had once known — obedient, warm — had be cold and calcting. It was deeply disappointing.


    The arrogance in Rosie’s tone made it clear she wasn’t here to reconcile; she was here to bestow favor on them, as though the Harper family was beneath her. He couldn’t tolerate that.

    “Right. You’re royalty now, and we’re no longer worth your time. If there’s nothing else, you should leave. We’ve got work to do.” With that, Ernst rose to his feet and walked away, unwilling to spend another second in Rosie’s presence.


    “How can you say that, Ernst? You were the one who doted on me the most before,” Rosie said, hurrying after him and grabbing his arm. “I genuinely want to make things right with the family. Could you help me get everyone together for a meal? It’s on me, okay?”


    “Can’t help you; I’ve got other things to handle.” Ernst shook off her hand and walked away.


    Rosie stomped her foot in irritation.
