?Chapter 1269:


    Rachael’s heart sank with regret. If she had known she would be caught so easily, she never would havee. Perhaps she should have ambushed Brenna at herpany, near her car. Maybe that would have worked.


    “Please, I’m begging you—don’t call the police. If I’m arrested, who will take care of Ms. Rosie Harper? She’s already suffered enough. Haven’t you done enough to ruin her?” Rachael dropped to her knees, eyes brimming with tears. It wasn’t her own arrest she feared; it was leaving Rosie without anyone to protect her.


    Rosie had lost her parents the day she was born. She had never stopped being a pitiful soul.


    “Please,” Rachael said, locking eyes with Brenna.


    But Brenna had already ended the call.


    “The police will be here in five minutes. If you have anything to say, you can tell them,” Brenna said, her voice cold and final.<fn434b> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? FindN()vel</fn434b>


    Desperation twisted Rachael’s face. “Ms. Rosie Harper has been through hell. She’s lost everything. She even tried to sell thepanies to pay her debts but couldn’t get a decent offer. She has begged anyone who might help. You all used to be her family—are you really going to push her to desperation?”


    Giselle’s eyes hardened. “Do you truly not know why she’s like this? She has conspired with outsiders again and again to harm us. Where was yourpassion then? Now that she has failed, you bring this up? Toote!”


    “Mrs. Harper, you watched her grow up. Can you really be this heartless to her?” Rachael’s voice shook with herst desperate move.


    Giselle’s tone went colder. “If it weren’t for that, do you think I’d have tolerated her endless attacks on the Harper Group, her attempts to kill my daughter, and still kept the police away? Now, she even wants to throw acid at us. I won’t let her get away with this!”


    Rachael turned sharply to Brenna. “Do you even know why Ms. Rosie Harper targeted you?”


    Brenna stayed silent and turned away, unwilling to engage with Rachael. Rachael knew this was herst chance. She spoke from her heart, hoping to sway Brenna.


    “Before you came back, Ms. Rosie Harper was this family’s treasure. Everyone adored her, even Mr. Mitchell, and they were nning to get engaged. Then, you suddenly returned and took everything from her. That’s why she hates you. You were in the wrong first. Everything you have now should’ve been hers. If you realize your mistake, ask Mr. Shepard Harper and Mr. Ernst Harper to stop going after her.”


    Her voice then sharpened into a warning. “If you don’t, don’t me anyone when she retaliates. You’re bringing it on yourself.”


    “So all of this is my fault? I’m a Harper. Why shouldn’t Ie home?” Brenna believed Rachael hadpletely lost it.


    “Why did youe back?” Rachael’s voice broke into a scream. “You were fine with the Barretts. You should’ve stayed there! Without you, Ms. Rosie Harper wouldn’t be like this. It’s all your fault. You deserve to die!”


    The moment she felt the guards’ grip loosen, Rachael lunged at Brenna, wanting to bite her.


    But as soon as she moved, the guards pinned her down firmly.


    Giselle found Rachael’s reasoningughable. “My own child can’t return home? What a joke.”


    The police arrived within minutes. After reviewing the surveince footage, they took Rachael away.
