The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 1073:

Noticing her hunger, Julia brought over a plate of food and replied, “Your parents said the same thing, but Rosie kept pushing, saying it would boost Dalton’s career. She went on and on and eventually got your parents and Dalton to agree. She even stayed for lunch today, saying she missed home-cooked meals.”

“She is such a hypocrite,” Brenna muttered, her appetite easing after a few bites.

Soon after, Giselle returned, carrying two shopping bags—one from a jewelry store, the other from a luxury brand.

“Mom, what got you in a mood for shopping today?” Brenna asked casually. Giselle sank onto the couch. “I wasn’t in the mood, but Rosie said she wanted to offer Dalton some resources, so I had to make an effort to repay her. Our family doesn’t need the money, but Dalton wants to have a concert in Plieca.”

Brenna glanced into the bags, uninterested.

As Brenna and Giselle talked, a sharp car horn cut through the air outside. It was Rosie’s and Maxley’s cars, adorned with the Plieca royal family’s crest. Though just two vehicles, they made quite a show of it. Bodyguards from the trailing car came out to personally open the doors for them.

“What, does she need the whole world to know she’s back, to show everyone that she has become part of the royal family?” Giselle muttered to Brenna, her annoyance clear at Rosie’s theatrics.

Despite their irritation, they headed to the entrance to welcome Rosie and Maxley.
