The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163 Is That My Dad

In Rosie’s hospital room, a group of business–clad individuals was gathered around her bed, three men and two women, as Rosie delegated tasks.

“Did everyone get that clearly?” Rosie, though primarily stationed at a branch office for the last two years and seldom at headquarters, had kept strong ties at headquarters, particularly with the senior staff. The group present included five top executives from the Harper Group’s headquarters. Among them was a man in his forties, the technical director responsible for automotive manufacturing

The two women, both about thirty, held significant positions: one as head of the company’s secretariat and the other as the public relations manager. The remaining two men managed different departments. They were all tasked with various responsibilities for Brenna’s upcoming lecture at the Harper Group.

These five had been promoted by Rosie via the board of directors, earning her their loyalty and quick response

to her calls.

“We understand,” they assured Rosie earnestly.

Just as Rosie was about to dismiss them, her phone buzzed with a new message. She opened it casually but then stared at it in disbelief, zooming in on each photo, her face breaking into a delighted grin. “I can’t believe Brenna has a child this age!” she exclaimed.

The Harper Group executives leaned closer to her to see the photos curiously.

“Unbelievable!” the head of the secretariat exclaimed in shock. “I thought she was inexperienced in love during her award acceptance speech. Turns out that is not the case at all.”

The other female executive was equally taken aback. “This is perfect! We can use this to our advantage. If this news breaks before her lecture tomorrow, would she be ousted?”

Rosie, thrilled by the prospects, quickly began crafting a more elaborate scheme. “What an excellent turn of events! We need to adjust our strategy now. I doubt Brenna will bring her child to the lecture tomorrow. Listen to me. We need to discreetly display a photo of her and her child during her lecture so that everyone can see

the real her…”

Brenna, Ellie, and Patrick arrived at the expansive Bayview Apartments.

Julia and two maids had already tidied the apartment and arranged some essentials.

They awaited downstairs to assist with the luggage.

Brenna instructed Julia, “Please ensure everything is in order and prepare a few dishes…”

She was aware that after a twenty–hour flight, Ellie was probably starving. On top of that, the food abroad was so different from what they had at home, and Ellie frequently complained about it, always craving the familiar

tastes of home.

As Brenna thought about what dishes to prepare, Ellie interjected, “Just any home–cooked dishes will do Im tired of foreign food. I just want to eat something and sleep.”

Patrick made a face of displeasure. “Mommy, but I want to go out and play!

Ellie gently tapped her son’s cheek. “Let Brenna take you out to play. I need to catch some sleep”

She then said to Brenna, “Patrick was so bored on the plane that he slept the entire way, but I was up working I had a client who was pressing me, so I spent the flight working on a design draft. By the time we landed, i sent it off to the studio to start on the samples. I’m exhausted because of that. You need to take care of Patrick

for me now.”

Brenna sympathized with Patrick, patting his head. “Poor thing, you must have suffered a lot living with your mom abroad. Your mom doesn’t know how to cook, so you must have eaten a lot of fast food.”

Patrick nodded earnestly. “She really can’t cook, but she did take me to nice restaurants when she had time.

It’s not so bad.”

Brenna left some instructions with Julia to ensure Ellie was well taken care of. Then, she and Patrick headed out. Shirie was home to many amusement parks for children, and she planned to take him to one.

When Brenna returned that evening with Patrick, she discovered Julia and the others had already returned to the Harper family’s home, and Ellie was sound asleep.
