137 Being Kicked

Out

Brenna stepped out of her room and quietly watched Rosie, who was now in handcuffs.

Rosie, surprised to see Brenna unharmed, exclaimed, “You’re actually okay?”

She quickly assumed Brenna was the one who had called the police and became angry, saying, “Why couldn’t we resolve this between ourselves? Why involve the police? Do you understand the harm this could cause to the Harper Group?”

Brenna, delivering a sharp slap that nearly sent Rosie tumbling, retorted, “Do you realize the harm your plan would have caused me if it had succeeded?”

Brenna then struck Rosie three more times rapidly, each slap leaving Rosie dazed and her cheeks inflamed.

Rosie shouted in fury, “Mom, Dad, won’t you stop her? How can she be allowed to hit me like this?”

She squeezed her eyes shut, bracing herself for another blow from Brenna, confused and shaken that her parents had stood by as she got hit.

Her heart dropped. She thought she would be abandoned by the Harper family now.

However, no further slap came. When she cautiously opened her eyes, she saw her parents looking at her with a blend of disappointment, anger, and perhaps a readiness to strike her themselves.

In the next instant, Shepard slapped her.

“You ungrateful brat!” Shepard, overwhelmed with anger, hit someone for the first time in his life, shockingly

his own daughter.

Even during their childhood mistakes, he had never physically disciplined his children. But now, Rosie’s actions had deeply disappointed him.

“You’ve disappointed me deeply this time. Move out as soon as you can. And stop calling us Mom and Dad.” He gestured to the police officers, signaling them to escort Rosie away.

Rosie, led away without resistance, was confident she would return soon, believing the Harper family’s concern for their reputation would prevent her prolonged detention.

Giselle hugged Brenna, saying apologetically, “My dear, we’re so sorry. We were unaware of the plotting against you. I can’t imagine how you dealt with those thugs.”

Shepard also expressed his guilt, saying, “I’m at fault this time. We shouldn’t have forgiven Rosie before. We should have kicked her out of our home immediately at that time.”

Brenna stayed composed. “I’m alright, aren’t I? Her petty schemes can’t touch me,” she replied.

As Rosie was about to be put into the police car at the house’s entrance, she stopped, her stance filled with defiance. “You’re really going to take me to the station dressed like this? That can’t be right. I want to change my clothes. You can’t refuse me this,” she said.

“We can’t let you do that,” replied an officer briskly, ushering her into the car without a second thought.

“How can you treat me this way? Don’t you know the Harper family could destroy your career?” Rosie

exclaimed in anger.

The two officers sat on either side of Rosie in the vehicle. The officer to her left responded sharply, “Oh really? If you’re so powerful, why are you sitting in our police car right now?”

Rosie, undeterred by her words, leaned back and sneered, “Fine, just wait. You’ll regret this decision soon.”

She attempted to retrieve her phone to call Ernst, but the officer quickly took it away.

Rosie said, “Give my phone back! I’m not a criminal yet. You can’t just take my personal items. I’ll sue you!”
