The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows novel Chapter 202

Chapter 202 You Did That On Purpose

Brenna couldn’t hide the spark of satisfaction dancing in her eyes as she watched Rosie fume. A slow smile curled on her lips as she said, “Remember my welcome–back party? You ordered three dresses for me. And what happened? All three were mysteriously ruined. On such an important occasion, I almost had nothing to

wear.”

Her gaze locked onto Rosie’s, sharp and unwavering, as she said directly, “I’m not about to let you pull the same stunt again. What if you sabotage the dresses this time, too? Frankly, I don’t trust you.”

Rosie caught the sarcasm laced in Brenna’s tone and rolled her eyes, shaking her head. “Really? Do you think I would be dumb enough to use the same trick twice? These two dresses are fine!”

This time, she didn’t make the dresses fall apart at the seams, exposing skin with the slightest movement. Instead, she had come up with a new plan to humiliate Brenna.

Brenna let out a dry laugh and spread her hands, clearly not believing her.

Rosie’s eyes narrowed as she saw the two dresses on the bed, likely designed by Bre “Who exactly is your friend anyway? The dresses she made won’t be any good. If you she made in front of anyone, you would be the laughingstock of the night.”

friend. She sneered, ared to wear the dress

Ellie, who had been enjoying the drama from the sidelines, suddenly found herself pulled into it. She wasn’t happy about this at all.

She stepped forward, snatched one of the dresses off the bed, and pointed firmly at the logo stitched on the chest. “I’m a designer and the founder of M&G. Take a good look at this before you speak nonsense.”

Her nostrils flared as she added, “And the dress you are wearing right now? That is also designed by me.”

Rosie scoffed, her face contorting with disdain, “Stop pretending. Would a real M&G designer do something as shameful as having a child without even being married? You are pretty, but that’s about it. Do you think you can fool us by passing off a knockoff as the real deal? Do you take us all for fools?”

Ellie retorted, “If you can’t tell quality when you see it, that’s on you.”

After saying that, she held the dress up in front of Rosie, the logo clearly visible. “Open your eyes and look. Is this real or just a knockoff?”

Anyone familiar with M&G would instantly recognize the brand’s signature embroidery, the “M&G” letters, done with a special, intricate technique.

Rosie’s eyes flickered to the dress, her expression shifting as she realized it was an authentic M&G piece. However, she refused to admit it. It wasn’t because she doubted Ellie’s words; it was because the thought of

Chapter 202 You Did That On Purpose

Brenna’s friend being the famous designer and founder of M&G was something she couldn’t stomach.

Brenna didn’t deserve to have such an influential friend.

Besides, these two dresses were the latest designs, not yet released to the public. How could Brenna possibly be

worthy of such exclusive clothes?

A bitter resentment simmered within Rosie. She stared at Brenna for what felt like an eternity.

Then, she turned her wheelchair and left without a word.

Brenna let out a sharp snort and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

“Ignore her. Let us continue,” she said to Ellie.

Meanwhile, Rosie headed back to the dessert area, only to discover that Patrick had already devoured several slices of cake, clearly enjoying every bite.

The fact that this charming boy was the son of Brenna’s friend added fuel to her already smoldering irritation. The humiliation she had just suffered left her with a need to vent her frustration on the child.

She might not have been able to outwit Brenna, but surely she could handle a child, right?

As she quietly mulled over how to deal with Patrick, something about his face sparked a flicker of recognition. He looked familiar, though she couldn’t quite place where she had seen him before.

Soon, it dawned on her that this was the boy from the photos Isabella had sent her.

Instantly, she realized he was Jayceon’s illegitimate child. She clearly remembered the chaos at the Harper Group building when Brenna had been swarmed by the crowd, all because of this bo

Jayceon had publicly acknowledged the child at that time.

Everyone was curious about who the child’s mother was, but despite her best efforts, Rosie hadn’t uncovered anything before.

Now, she knew who the boy’s mother was. The globally renowned M&G founder had a child out of wedlock. This would be a major scandal.

In a rush of excitement, Rosie quickly pulled out her phone and snapped several photos of the boy.

Patrick seemed to sense something and turned to glance at Rosie.

Rosie quickly tucked her phone away, pretending to casually fiddle with it, all the while keeping a watchful eye on the boy from the corner of her eye.

Unlike most children, Patrick had been raised in a hostile environment, which made him especially cautious. Feeling uncomfortable around Rosie, he clutched a piece of cream cake in his chubby hand and turned, the cake wobbling dangerously in his grasp.

Suddenly, the cake fell from his hand and landed squarely on Rosie’s dress, the red and white cream making her already gaudy dress even more garish.
