The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168 Is Someone Secretly Helping Brenna

In the hospital.

Rosie was busy with her phone, reading through the Harper Group’s company chats. Managers were actively fueling discussions, and now, everyone at the Harper Group was aware that Brenna allegedly had a child out of wedlock and had boldly brought the child into the company as though she wanted the whole world to see.

Rosie felt quite pleased with how the executives had managed the situation. They had delegated the tasks to their trusted subordinates, considering that stirring controversy and tarnishing someone’s reputation were beneath them. It was enough to let the lower ranks handle it.

She could hardly conceal her glee as she watched the drama unfold.

Sylvie and Vivian, sitting beside her, shared in the amusement, pleased with the chaos they had created.

Suddenly, a video call interrupted Rosie’s scrolling. She quickly answered the call, and the view from the 33rd-

floor auditorium at the Harper Group filled her screen.

The caller was Kennedi Myers, a mid–level manager in the Harper Group’s automotive design department. She was talented in design. She had risen through the ranks partly due to Rosie’s backing.

“Miss Harper, have you seen the messages in the group chats?” Kennedi’s voice was filled with anticipation. She didn’t show her face in the video call. “This could be our chance to sabotage Brenna. If we can confirm s a child out of wedlock, you could make your comeback to the Harper Group, and Mr. Harper might not…

leave the company.”

Rosie nodded in agreement. Ernst had had no choice but to step down from the Harper Group. Due to the company’s large scale and the demands of his role, he was still waiting for a new president to take over.

“Absolutely, this is our opportunity.” Rosie observed the live feed from the auditorium and noticed Brenna adjusting the equipment by herself. Normally, this would be handled by staff members of the company, but no one had stepped forward to assist Brenna.

That meant there were quite a few people who were dissatisfied with Brenna. Rosie, quietly pleased, still wasn’t satisfied. She wanted to make things more difficult for Brenna.

She said, “Once Brenna begins her lecture, start asking tough questions. And don’t end the call; I want to see

everything.”

Rosie was confident that she would humiliate Brenna this time.

Sylvie, who was nearby, gave a sly smirk. “Rosie, has Mr. Mitchell found out about this yet?” she asked.

Rosie paused to think for a moment. “Probably not.”

She then flashed a cunning smile. “What do you think Ethan would do if he finds out about this? Would he end things with Brenna immediately?”

Vivian laughed softly. “End things? After all Brenna’s efforts to make Ethan fall for her, she won’t let him go

easily.”

Resting her chin in her hand, she sarcastically said, “Do you think Brenna would give up her own son to get

Ethan back?”

Sylvie quickly agreed and said, “Absolutely. For her, a child might be a small sacrifice for the chance to be with

Ethan.”

Their attention then shifted back to the screen, where the little boy was busily typing away at the computer.

Vivian expressed her confusion, saying, “Brenna was the star of Harper Group’s automotive design competition.

Clearly, she’s smart. So why is she letting a child use her computer? Doesn’t she worry he might accidentally

reveal something she doesn’t want to reveal?”

Sylvie nodded, a thought suddenly coming to mind. “Rosie, did you send them that photo I edited?”

Rosie watched the little boy, noting his serious demeanor; he didn’t appear to be simply playing. Something

seemed off, but she remained silent. After all, what significant harm could a young child cause?

Was he playing games on the computer?

That had to be what he was doing.

Rosie replied, “Yes, I sent it. It will appear on the first slide of Brenna’s PPT.”

Meanwhile, at the Harper Group auditorium, Kennedi was monitoring the employee chat groups when she suddenly found she could no longer send messages. And all prior chat history had disappeared, leaving behind only a gray screen. When she scrolled up, everything from the day–including messages, photos, and files–was

gone.

She quickly said to Rosie, “Miss Harper, something’s wrong. It looks like the chat groups have been hacked.”

Rosie was also in one of the Harper Group’s executive chat groups, where the management team was intensely debating the matter about Brenne and the boy. This smaller executive group consisted of about four hundred

people.

She tried to view earlier messages in the executive chat only to find they had also disappeared.

“What’s going on? Is someone secretly helping Brenna?” Rosie was in disbelief, staring at the blank messages,

unable to send new messages.
