Chapter 49 She'Probably Had Plastic Surgery

The conditions outlined in the agreement were crafted with the clear intention of targeting Brenna

If Brenna failed to secure first place in the design competition, she would be permanently stripped of any righ to the Harper Group's shares. Additionally, she would lose access to her monthly allowance.

The document further stipulated that, as an adult, Brenna was expected to be financially independent, forbidding her from relying on the Harper family for financial support. The family was also prohibited from providing her with employment opportunities, including offering her a job at the Harper Group.

Every clause was deliberately cruel, as though it were a formal declaration that Brenna was not considered a

true member of the Harper family.

To make matters even worse, the clothes Brenna had received the previous day- purchased with Harper family

funds-were now being treated as a debt she was expected to repay.

Giselle's expression darkened as she read through the document. Without hesitation, she handed the document to her husband and stated bluntly, "I don't approve of this. Read it yourself-this effectively treats Brenna like an outsider. She is my daughter, and I have every right to provide for her. No one else gets to

dictate otherwise."

Shepard's eyes scanned the pages, his expression becoming increasingly dark. The more he read, the more his frustration grew. Fixing Rosie with a sharp look, he snapped, "Rosie, Brenna is my biological daughter. She has taken nothing from you. Why are you treating her this way?"

Once finished, he passed the agreement to Luther.

Luther and Tessa both adjusted their reading glasses and leaned in, their expressions darkening with every clause they read, unmistakable anger flashing in their eyes.

Even as her family bombarded her with disapproval, Rosie remained unshaken. She just felt a bit sad. Before Brenna's return, she had been the pride of the Harper family-their most treasured member. Intelligent, well- educated, and highly capable, she had risen quickly within Harper Group. In just a year, she had established herself as a skilled general manager, earning both the admiration of her elders in the family and generous financial rewards they had been more than willing to grant her.
