Chapter 73 Forgive Her

if they had been alone, Brenna would have put Rosie in her place without hesitation. But with the Harper family watching-especially Uncle Ableson's side of the family-she had no choice but to accept Rosie's apology for the sake of appearances, even if she had no intention of truly forgiving her.

With obvious reluctance, Brenna helped Rosie to her feet, though she had no desire to pretend she liked someone she clearly despised. She never felt the need to please others, nor did she care about their opinions

Why are you forcing her to let the matter go?"
