Chapter 133:
Brenna gave Rosie a faint smile, her eyebrows arching challengingly. “You’re just here to enjoy the spectacle, aren’t you?” she said to Ethan.
At that moment, Tessa joined them, accompanied by Audrey and Lennon. She brushed Rosie aside and grasped Brenna’s hand, expressing her concern. “We couldn’t find you earlier today. Where were you?” she said.
Audrey and Lennon knew Ethan was always polite to others. Noticing Ethan’s apparent disregard for Rosie, they quickly deduced that Rosie’s harsh remarks about Brenna in the group chat before might have been exaggerated.
To them, Brenna appeared amiable and beautiful, far from the arrogant person Rosie had portrayed.
Almost simultaneously, they greeted Brenna warmly.
Audrey stepped forward, nudging Ethan slightly aside to introduce herself. “I’m Audrey. You’ve probably heard about me before. Brenna, you are truly as beautiful as Aunt Giselle described.”
Lennon then introduced himself, saying to Brenna, “I’m Lennon, just returned to the country yesterday. Feel free to come by our place whenever you like!”
At that moment, a staff member from the identification center approached Shepard and Giselle with a stack of reports, speaking respectfully. “Mr. and Mrs. Harper, the results are in.”
Rosie quickly made her way to the front, her face a mix of eagerness and certainty, as she inquired, “Do the results confirm that there is no biological father-daughter relationship between Brenna and Shepard?”
Rosie’s voice echoed through the hall, capturing the attention of nearly everyone present.
The crowd had gathered primarily to witness the unfolding drama, with many unable to suppress their chuckles, curious about Brenna’s next move should it turn out she wasn’t a true Harper.

What would become of Shepard’s and Giselle’s recent actions? Rumor had it that the couple had already embraced Brenna as their own, lavishing her with presents and even a house. The potential revelation of Brenna not being their biological daughter could lead to quite an embarrassing situation.
The tension in the room escalated.
Several relatives close to Brenna shot Rosie disapproving glares. They believed that even if Rosie felt that way, she shouldn’t have said it out loud. Shepard, Giselle, and Dalton were visibly the most displeased.
In a moment of frankness, Dalton confronted Rosie in front of the family, asking, “What are you implying, Rosie? Do you wish Brenna wasn’t a part of our family?”
Only then did Rosie comprehend the gravity of her words. Though she acknowledged her impulsiveness, she remained defiant, standing her ground.
“That’s not my intention. Despite my feelings toward her, Uncle Shepard and Aunt Giselle hold her dear. I wouldn’t wish to see their hearts break. However, Brenna’s deceitful plots against our family cannot be ignored, and I refuse to stand by and let someone like her join our family!”
