Rosie, Jade, and Tina exchanged knowing glances, smirks playing on their lips.

For the past two weeks, Tina had been poisoning Amy's perception of Brenna with carefully crafted lies. She painted Brenna as a heartless and selfish individual who took pleasure in tormenting Rosie, orchestrating her banishment from the Harper family, and even turning her own brothers against her.

Amy's disdain for Brenna had intensified when, thanks to Rosie's subtle manipulation, she had "accidentally" stumbled upon those hotel photographs depicting Brenna checking in with a man.

Now, witnessing Brenna's striking beauty firsthand, especially the possessive way she clung to Ethan's arm. Amy felt her suspicions confirmed. She believed Brenna had clearly stolen Ethan from Rosie.

Having seen Tina and Rosie grow up together, Amy had always treated Rosie with the affection of a family. In her eyes, Brenna naturally warranted contempt.

Jade looked at Brenna with a smug superiority. "I heard you were someone of consequence, giving public lectures at Shirie University. But now, it appears you are merely a common laborer. Since when do ladies from respectable families engage in such manual work? Our kind curate art collections, perhaps manage a few businesses for amusement. Turning screws? That is the domain of the working class, meant for men of lower standing."

A wave of hushed whispers rippled through the crowd.

Dozens of pairs of eyes scrutinized Brenna.

Brenna cleared her throat and offered a sincere correction, saying, "I am not a common laborer; I am a mechanical engineer. My work involves designing ships, helicopters, advanced robotic arms, and even intelligent robots."

A burst of laughter erupted from Jade, Tina, and their clique.

"Oh, please, spare us the tall tales. I only heard you possessed some knowledge of car design. I've certainly

never heard that you can design any of the things you just mentioned," Jade mocked, her tone dripping with

scorn.
