Chapter 87 How Can You Treat Us Like This-

Alec and Ruby scrutinized Brenna meticulously. After two decades of living with Brenna, they were adept at

interpreting her facial expressions.

Brenna's current aloofness and disdain were unmistakable. Throughout her life, whether faced with reprimands or corporal punishment, she had always maintained a resolute silence.

To the couple, Brenna's cold demeanor had become familiar, hardly warranting a second thought. Yet, at the dinner table with the Harpers, they felt sidelined as the family engaged either amongst themselves or with their meals, paying little heed to them.

They were the ones who had played significant roles in Brenna's upbringing, yet they had encountered a cold

reception.

Throughout the banquet, the Barrett family trio had stayed close to the Harpers. Whenever the Harpers introduced Brenna to other wealthy families, Alec and Ruby eagerly greeted them, introducing themselves, but the wealthy guests treated them with cold indifference.

It felt as though they were being looked down on.

It was downright disrespectful!

Did the Harpers not appreciate them for rasing their daughter?

The Harper family members' patience dwindled, and their smiles hardened. Inwardly, they condemned the Harper family, wishing they could tell everyone about how ungrateful they were.

"Brenna," Ruby said once more, her smile vanished, her patience at an end. Yet, Brenna still dismissed her with

a cold expression.

Ruby's anger surged. "Brenna!"
