The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139 Could You Consider Forgiving Rosie

Rosie had just finished calling her lawyer and was sitting in the interrogation room, projecting arrogance as she said to two officers nearby, “I won’t speak until my lawyer is here.”

The officers were unsure how to proceed.

Within thirty minutes, a lawyer named Bruno Green, accompanied by Ernst, arrived at the station.

Ernst looked serious and was upset about the treatment his sister was receiving. He fixed a stern gaze on the police officers, particularly on the director, Mayson Gomez, a middle–aged man in a white shirt. “This is unacceptable. You’ve brought my sister here in her pajamas. This can’t be right!” he said in anger.

Mayson managed a strained smile. “Mr. Harper, this was a mistake made by my team. I will address it immediately,” he said.

Rachael, carrying a handbag, scoffed and shot a scathing look at the officers who had ignored her earlier. “They

should all be fired!” she exclaimed.

“Where is my sister?” Ernst asked urgently, concerned Rosie might be harshly treated.

Mayson felt powerless in this situation. The Harper Group was a key player in Shirie’s development, funding numerous municipal projects and holding considerable sway in many industries. Even the mayor couldn’t afford to disregard their influence.

Leading the way, Mayson said, “Please, follow me.”

Ernst walked with Bruno and Rachael trailing behind. Rachael deliberately slowed her pace, lowering her voice as she said to the three officers, “I warned you–the Harper family isn’t the kind of people you can afford to

cross.”

By the evening, before sunset, Ernst brought Rosie back home. Rachael accompanied them. Ernst had come back specifically to argue for justice, insisting Rosie should be allowed to return.

Dinner was underway at home, the table filled with Brenna’s favorite dishes.

When Shepard saw Ernst bringing Rosie back, he became enraged and put down his fork. “Who gave you permission to bring her back here?” he asked.

Though Rosie was seething inside at Shepard and Giselle for siding with Brenna, she forced herself to appear sorrowful. “Mom, Dad, if I can’t come back home, where else do I have to go? I just made a small mistake. Are you really going to turn your back on me over this?” she said.

She went as far as shedding tears, putting on a show of genuine sorrow, all while secretly watching the Harper family, hoping to catch a hint of sympathy in their expressions.

Chapter 139 Could You Consider Forgiving Rosie

Ernst took a seat and calmly said, “Mom, Dad, Brenna, Rosie is still young and bound to err. The matter is just a minor issue. Is this really necessary?”

Disappointment was evident on Shepard’s and Giselle’s faces.

Shepard said sharply, “A minor issue? Rosie spent a large amount of money to hire criminals to kill Brenna

How is that minor?”

“Brenna is fine, isn’t she? She managed to fend off those criminals and left them with broken arms and legs She’s unharmed, so the matter is not as serious as you make it seem. Rosie has already been detained and questioned at the police station all day. That should be punishment enough. Please forgive her now. Losing her parents was hard on her; it’s unfair to treat her harshly like this,” Ernst said, feeling that the family was ganging up on Rosie.

The mood in the dining room became strained. The servants quietly left, giving the Harper family space to talk while they observed from a distance.
