The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176 You Don’t Deserve Her Forgiveness

Marco Boyd, the sales department manager, had built a solid reputation for his stellar performance. His impressive results earned him a generous year–end bonus, and he was widely seen as an essential pillar of the sales team. He led a high–performing group of salespeople whose efforts brought in major profits for the company. The vice president in charge of sales thought highly of him.

He thought that all he had done was encourage a few of his subordinates to stir up some trouble and didn’t think it was a big deal. Little did he know, he had gotten himself into serious trouble.

Bypassing the company’s CEO altogether, the chairman took matters into his own hands–a clear sign that the newly acknowledged daughter of the Harper family wasn’t as irrelevant as Rosie had made her out to be. It was now painfully obvious that the chairman adored her and would go to great lengths to protect her.

Now, he deeply regretted his actions. Helping Rosie had been an act of loyalty, nothing more. He hadn’t gained a thing from it. And now, he was in trouble because of this.

He believed his luck couldn’t have been worse.

Mr. Harper, please forgive me. I know I made a terrible mistake,” he begged Shepard, his voice trembling with desperation. He even thought of dropping to his knees.

Another manager, Bobbi Sugden, who was around his age and had elderly parents and young children to look after, saw his chat records in the documents and was filled with regret. His face turned pale, and he was too stunned to speak.

Bobbi wiped the sweat from his brow, the full weight of his mistake finally sinking in. He should never have trusted Rosie. After all, Brenna was Shepard’s biological daughter. How could a niece compare to that?

Winning first place in a design competition was enough proof of Brenna’s talent. And even if she wasn’t the most talented, it was clear that the Harper family cherished her deeply.

He had been a fool for going against Brenna.

He dropped to his knees and said, “Mr. Harper, I was wrong. I swear I’ll never make that kind of mistake again

I let ambition blind me. I’m willing to offer a personal apology to Miss Brenna Harper.”

With trembling hands, he passed the documents to the manager from the design department named Lochlan

Hinchcliffe.

Lochlan had been the most proactive, taking the lead in targeting Brenna earlier. He had even gone so far as to offer financial incentives to encourage others to insult Brenna, sharing photos of her with Patrick to stir up

trouble.

At just 28, Lochlan was handsome, young, and incredibly skilled. When Rosie worked at the Harper Group, she

As Lochlan fipped through the documenta, kis frustration bolled over

In an attempt to justify his actions, he said to Shepard, “Mr. Harper, Miss Brenna Harper is so young, and she doesn’t have the qualifications to give a lecture to us. A lot of people werk already unhappy about her giving a lecture. And then, she brought that child who calls her Mommy. That’s what sparked the reaction. You can’t

blame us for that ”

Shepard scoffed, his eyes narrowing as he fixed tochlan with a cold gare. He said, “That’s no excuse for attacking my daughter. I have already contacted the police. They will be here soon, and these documents will be handed over to them to determine your crime. You won’t be working at the Harper Group anymore. You are

all fired!

Angrily, he finished speaking and waved them away,

A wave of fear rippled through the group, many of them dropping to their knees before Shepard in panic.

Sabine was motionless, her mind struggling to grasp what she had just heard.

Shepard had always been kind to his employees, often dining with them and asking for their thoughts on the company, showing a genuinely friendly attitude.

This was the first time Shepard had ever fired members of management so ruthlessly.

Sabine was gripped by despair. Being fired was one thing, but ending up behind bars was something she

Couldn’t bear

She said, “Everyone, listen to me. Let’s go apologize to Miss Harper and beg for her forgiveness. We w offer her compensation. Let’s ask her not to get the police involved, alright?”

Her words were met with immediate support.
