Mother

Sylvie grabbed Rosie's phone in a swift motion and darted into the bathroom, where she turned on the faucet and submerged the device, finally ending the video call.

Back in the hospital room, Rosie seethed with rage, her hands trembling from the chaos that had unfolded. "What a bunch of imbeciles! They couldn't manage a simple task, and now, I am completely exposed!" she exclaimed in anger.

Sylvie's eyes flashed with shared animosity towards Brenna. "You assured us of their reliability, didn't you?" she said. "Yet, they failed in carrying out your plan."

Meanwhile, Vivian, who always seemed to maintain a cooler demeanor yet harbored a particularly deep-seated vendetta against Brenna, recalled her mortifying episode at the Imperial Bar. She had been coerced into drinking tainted alcohol, embarrassing herself in front of the Morrison family. Her parents and grandparents had been utterly disappointed in her, and her position at the company had been sidelined.

Vivian's sharp voice cut through the mounting tension. "Didn't you all notice it? Rosie was unable to disconnect the call earlier," she said. "Ethan and Jayceon have rallied to Brenna's defense. Considering the powerful allies she's gathering, of course we failed in targeting her."

Rosie's fingers tightened around the blanket, her frustration palpable as she said, "It's exasperating! That woman has amassed a crowd of supporters, turning me into a laughingstock. We can't just stand by and let Brenna triumph over us. What's our next move?"

Vivian responded with a calmness that contrasted sharply with Rosie's agitation, "The tide isn't in our favor. We need to retreat for now

and avoid making more people angry at us."

However, Rosie's defiance shone through her frustration. "I don't care about that! Even after being ousted from the Harper family, I'm more than capable of handling ordinary people. I want to see who's bold enough to confront me," she said.

With a firm expression, Vivian said, "Calm down, Rosie. We must recognize that public sentiment currently sways toward Brenna. It's imperative we maintain our silence for now."

Sylvie, determined not to back down, proposed another plan, saying, "Why don't we let someone else handle it? I've heard that the person from the Hewitt family is about to return. Brenna might find that person a formidable opponent."
