Chapter 1278:
Shepard nodded thoughtfully, his eyes studying Rosie. “Of course, I'll see to it that they're returned,” he said,
though he couldn't help but notice Rosie had beccunning. By merely bringing up Brenna’s birthday
celebration, she had deftly maneuvered to reclaim her shares.
He had clearly underestimated her.
Brenna caught Rosie's eye, and for a fleeting moment, a spark of resentment flickered in Rosie's gaze.
Brenna averted her eyes discreetly, her mind racing as she calculated Rosie's stake in the Harper Group. If her
estimates were correct, Rosie already held seven percent. With her previous shares reinstated, that could climb
to ten percent, perhaps more. That was a significant holding, surpassing even hers. The thought stirred a quiet
unease in Brenna.
Despite Rosie's recent setbacks, losing several companies and a fortune, she was far from destitute. Brenna
realized Rosie had been skillfully playing the victim, trying to tug at everyone's heartstrings. Days later, Rosie

arranged another meal with Gracie.
This time, Gracie’s demeanor was noticeably warmer toward Rosie, her earlier frostiness thawed by Rosie's
display of resilience.
Even after bankruptcy, Rosie had staged a remarkable comeback.
Her companies, expected to fetch a mere ten million, had been sold well above market value. Gracie found
herself reassessing Rosie's proposition with fresh eyes.
She believed that Rosie was, without a doubt, more resourceful and capable than most.
Gracie recognized Rosie's potential now. “What do you need from me?” she asked.
Rosie, buoyed by her recent successes, was in high spirits. Her plans were unfolding seamlessly. Hiring assassins
had proven simpler than anticipated. After she had announced a generous reward, elite experts had lined up
eagerly. Her lavish offer had clearly done the trick.

She intended to recruit a few more to ensure her plans were executed flawlessly.
Rosie offered Gracie a serene smile. “Nothing, just thought we could enjoy a meal together.”
She knew Gracie was no ordinary heiress. Gracie was sharp, forward-thinking, and cautious to a fault.
Outsmarting her would demand meticulous strategy.
Beaming with quiet triumph, Rosie said, “I'm in a wonderful mood. | now hold seven percent of the Harper
Group's shares. In a few days, they'll giveback the shares they took from me, bringing my total to eleven
percent. | couldn’t wait to share the good news and celebrate with someone.”
“Congratulations,” Gracie said, her curiosity piqued as she leaned forward slightly. “How did you manage to get
the Harper family to accept you again?”
Rosie's lips curled into an enigmatic smile. “Well, lettell you...”
The two lingered over their meal, savoring wine and light conversation, their laughter weaving through the air.
Soon, Brenna’s birthday arrived.
Rather than taking the day to celebrate, Brenna headed to the office as usual, her routine unshaken by the
occasion.
As she stepped into the lobby in the morning, she crossed paths with Alec, who was practically radiating cheer.
