Chapter 165

"Is our security just for show now?" Ethan's voice was low and questioning as he addressed Liam.

Liam appeared bewildered; after all, he wasn't responsible for security. Lately, Ethan had been acting strangely, casting disapproving glances his way...

"Mr. Ethan, I'll speak to the security manager right away and get things in order," Liam whispered.

"Ethan..." Harper's eyes reddened as she spoke softly. "Ethan, I'm here on behalf of the Brown's Family about Yunxiu's matter. Let's talk."

Ethan glanced at the date; tomorrow was the deadline he had set for the Brown's Family.

After closing the office door, Ethan conducted matters formally, leading Harper to the VIP negotiation room, where surveillance cameras ensured transparency and openness. Ethan was making it clear that he intended to handle things with Harper formally and officially.

Harper took a deep breath, composed herself, and followed Ethan into the negotiation

room.

"Yunxiu was certainly at fault this time. She's the youngest at home, and our parents have always spoiled her too much, and I... as her sister... have made mistakes as well," Harper said, choked up, adopting a humble attitude while acknowledging her error. Ethan had no interest in these excuses. "So, what's your point?" he asked directly.

Harper clenched her fingers tightly as she responded, "The Browns will hold a press conference, confess to Yunxiu's wrongdoings, publicly apologize to Jasmine, and then send Yunxiu abroad..."

By doing this, the Browns would be signaling a complete abandonment of Zelda. In fact, this was somewhat of a silver lining for Harper. Despite the damaged reputation, the Browns would emerge as the victim, garnering sympathy.

Moreover, having discarded one daughter, Zelda, they would now invest all their efforts into Harper, the remaining daughter. She was the eldest, and originally, when the Brown family and the Patrick family had an arrangement, her parents had considered Zelda first, not her.
