Chapter 17 Apologize To
Brenna Now
The Harper family members exchanged uncertain glances, their silence heavy with doubt. Brenna's lack of immediate response seemed like an unspoken admission of Rosie's words.
Seeing their hesitant expressions, Brenna knew she needed to clarify the situation before they made any assumptions. She hadn't come back just to be falsely accused-she wanted to reconnect with her real family.
Without hesitation, she scrolled through her phone, quickly pulling up the surveillance footage from the Flavor

Giselle and Shepard watched. Luther and Tessa also leaned in. Their faces darkened as the video progressed.
Rosie watched the video as well, her expression twisting with frustration. "How did you even get that footage?" she snapped.
"Rosie!" Giselle's voice was sharp with disappointment. Her heart ached-her daughter had suffered for twenty years, only to return and be met with hostility from her real family.
Tears filled Giselle's eyes as she took Brenna's hands in hers. "I should never have let Rosie be the one to pick you up. I should have canceled my speech at the United Nations forum. Nothing is more important than you finally coming home," she said.
