Ethan heard Rosie’s voice and instantly remembered how she had persistently targeted Brenna since her return to the Harper family, even going as far as hiring thugs to harm her.

Could Rosie be the one orchestrating the current situation?

This seemed highly likely.

Ethan treaded carefully, his voice far gentler than it usually was with Rosie as he asked, “What exactly happened? No rush. Just tell me how Brenna deceived me.”

Rosie’s face lit up with a triumphant grin, sensing Ethan was unaware of the news. She saw an opportunity to drive a wedge between Ethan and Brenna and probably make them break up.

She quickly said, “Ethan, you need to hear this. Brenna has a son about six years old. She brought him to her lecture at the Harper Group today. Everyone saw him call her ‘Mommy‘, and they acted very close. Ethan, Brenna has been deceiving you all this time. You can’t trust her.”

Ethan stayed calm and steady behind the wheel as he spoke to Rosie. “That’s not possible. Brenna wouldn’t do something like that. Do you have any real evidence?”

Rosie sensed Ethan’s skepticism and continued, “I’m no longer at the Harper Group, but I still have contacts there. They saw Brenna with the boy in the lobby, and he called her ‘Mommy‘. That’s proof enough”

Even with the so–called evidence Rosie provided, Ethan still couldn’t shake the feeling that she might be the one pulling the strings behind the matter.

He responded coldly, “I should ask Brenna about this directly. This isn’t something to take lightly.”

Rosie, buoyed by what she interpreted as a shift in Ethan’s stance, said, “Think about it, Ethan. If that boy isn’t her son, why would he publicly call her ‘Mommy‘? If she wasn’t his mother, why would she allow him to call her that? It’s clear–that boy is her son. He looks about six, which means she had him before she was eighteen. She doesn’t deserve to be in the Harper family. I’ll speak to my grandfather about having her kicked out of the

family.”

Just then, another thought crossed her mind. She added, “Ethan, it’s honestly terrifying. Brenna’s incredibly sly She has probably been scheming her way into the Harper family for years. And now that she has accepted your proposal, who knows what else she’s after? Maybe the Harper family isn’t enough for her–she could be setting her sights on the Mitchell family next. Ethan, you can’t let yourself be fooled by her.”

Ethan couldn’t help but chuckle lightly. “Rosie, you’ve spun quite a story from just a little boy’s presence. You really do know how to let your imagination run wild.”

Rosie was caught off guard by Ethan’s response. “You still don’t believe me? I’m telling the truth. Brenna has a

son. I’m not accusing her without proof! My parents will be furious when they find out about this Now I see why she tricked me into that bet with my brother. She’s after the Harper family’s fortune She’s so manipulative! I am no match for her.”

“Enough. That boy is not her son,” Ethan said firmly, ending the call. He was now convinced that Rosie was the one orchestrating this drama.

His face hardened, a wave of disappointment settling in his eyes. Rosie, theagh a Harper herself, wasn’t hoping for understanding or truth; she was waiting for Brenna to fall, eager to watch her be torn down.

Rosie quickly called Ethan back.

Curious about what she wanted to say, Ethan answered the phone.

Over the call, Rosie said, “I’m going to inform my parents and brothers of this to prevent Brenna from giving her lecture and tarnishing the Harper family’s name. Ethan, you should rethink your engagement to Brenna, perhaps find someone else to fulfill the marriage agreement between our families. I’m sorry for this mess. I apologize to you on behalf of the Harper family.”

Though she apologized, her expression was twisted with a grin.

Ethan responded with skepticism, “Have you really looked into this? Why are you rushing to conclusions?”

Rosie raised her voice as she said, “I know you are smitten with Brenna and want to believe her, but she has really crossed the line this time. It’s inexcusable. I’ll suggest that my parents issue a public apology–to the

public and to you.”
