The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 1314:

Seeing straight through Gracie’s attempt, Rosie just sighed and shook her head. “I’ve done what I can, Gracie. You have no clue what it’s been like for me in that house. I spend every day tiptoeing around, trying not to make waves. Brenna never lets up—she mocks me and bullies me, but I can’t fight back. My brothers barely notice I exist. Whatever place I had in the Harper family is gone. You can’t rely on me.”

Hopelessness crashed over Gracie, leaving her staring at the floor.

She asked, “So we’re supposed to let Brenna walk all over us? That’s it?”

Rosie picked up her glass and took a slow drink. “Unless you’ve got some secret plan to take her down, what else can we do? Taking her head-on is a losing game.” She poured Gracie a drink.

The air was thick with defeat when Rosie’s phone buzzed, Alec’s name glowing on the screen.
