The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 592:

Brenna shot Rosie a warning glance, but Rosie brushed it off, determined to share the story of the incident where Elsa had performed for Amy’s birthday.

Brenna felt resigned by Rosie’s action. Giselle and Shepard remained largely unmoved, not as angry as Rosie had expected.

“This is not Elsa’s fault,” Rosie continued. “Brenna really crossed a line. How could she demand that her future mother-in-law perform?
