The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows novel Chapter 214

Chapter 214 You Should Be

Grateful

“So, what’s the plan? When are you going to talk Mr. Harper into bringing Ernst back to the Harper Group to

take up the CEO position again?” Sabine said with confidence. “If you confess to Mr. Harper your incompetence and express your desire not to monopolize all of Harper Group’s resources, then when I marry your brother, I

might let you stay in the Harper family home. I’ll ensure you have enough to live on.”

Brenna was astounded by Sabine’s audacity. Sabine wasn’t even married to Ernst yet, but she was already

making plans as if she owned everything in the Harper family. It was absurd.

Her expression cold, Brenna fixed her gaze directly on Sabine.

Sabine, initially full of arrogance, began to feel unsettled as she sensed Brenna’s disdain. She snapped, “What are you staring at? Answer me. Don’t you think my offer is generous? Once I’m married to your brother, I’ll control everything in the Harper Group. It’s generous of me to even consider letting you stay within the Harper family. You should be grateful.”

Brenna gave her phone a little shake, then turned the screen toward Sabine for her to see.

Sabine’s confidence faltered, realizing that Brenna had been on a call the entire time, and Ernst was on the

other end of the line!

She had unknowingly revealed her intentions to Ernst. Panicking, she reached for Brenna’s phone, scolding her, “I’m your future sister–in–law! How could you disrespect me by letting someone eavesdrop on our conversation?”

Brenna moved quickly, dodging Sabine’s attempt to grab the phone, causing Sabine to almost lose her balance.

“What do you think Ernst will feel about what you’ve said?” Brenna asked, showing her the phone screen to

Sabine once more.

Sabine’s face fell, frustrated by her failure to seize the phone.

She yelled into the phone, “Ernst, listen to me! I didn’t mean what I said. It was a test for your sister. I just wanted to see if she supports our union. I was only joking with her…”

Brenna ended the call abruptly.

In the small lounge on the fourth floor, Ernst had picked up the call but only caught a few confusing words. He was about to ask for clarification when the line went dead, leaving him puzzled about Brenna’s intentions.

Opposite him, Viper was already making his way to the elevator. Their exchange had been tense, with Ernst an Ethan showing no deference towards Viper, obviously indifferent to his status.

Ethan said to Viper directly, “You should consider what I’ve suggested. Remember, you have a shipment stuck at customs. And I’m aware that its origins are not exactly above board.”

Viper stood his ground. “You needn’t worry about my affairs. Better to concentrate on your own shipment

instead.”

Sabine’s temper flared as she yelled at Brenna, “Are you playing games with me? Aren’t you afraid I’ll go straight to Ernst and tell him everything?”

Brenna dismissed her concerns without fuss, saying, “First off, you’re not yet part of the Harper family. Our family issues don’t concern you. Secondly, how can you be so certain Ernst will marry you? Ernst is remarkable, and plenty of women are drawn to him, even the ones who come from backgrounds that match his perfectly.”

She raised an eyebrow and walked to the window to look at the courtyard below.

Sabine rushed to join her and was shocked by the sight. A stunningly beautiful woman was being introduced to Ernst by Giselle.
