Chapter 140 Don't Ever

Come Back

Ernst and Rosie both looked expectantly at Brenna, hoping she would reconsider her stance, but Brenna

remained silent.

Ernst's expression became stern as he said to Brenna, "How can you be so selfish? You're only considering yourself, not Rosie's situation. She will be alone out there, without family-it's truly heart-wrenching What if she meets dangerous people? Will you accept responsibility if anything happens to her?"

"She's an adult, and adults are responsible for their own life. What does that have to do with me?" Brenna said, casting him a sideways glance. "If you're so concerned, why not have her stay with you and take care of her

yourself?"

The tension in the room thickened. Servants, positioned along the walls and silently watching, remained motionless, well aware that no one in the Harper family was willing to back down, especially not Brenna, who was not one to be easily swayed:

Giselle agreed with Brenna. "Exactly. If you're that concerned, you can take care of her, Ernst," she said.

Shepard exclaimed in anger, "Don't ever come back!"

"Fine, I'm leaving," Ernst said, heading for the door.
