?Chapter 1274:


    She hurried over to Gracie’s table and took a seat.


    “Gracie, have you made a decision yet?” Rosie asked.


    Gracie’s eyes chilled instantly, her irritation clear. If she hadn’t dug into the details and spoken to Ethan, she might have fallen for Rosie’s tricks. “You’ve already sold everypany you own. You have no projects. Are you seriously trying to scam me?”


    Rosie’s expression flickered in shock. She hadn’t expected Gracie to know this. She quickly said, “I sold thepanies in Vand, sure. But my projects and businesses in Plieca are still running.”


    Rosie felt exposed, the thought of sitting down to dinner with Gracie suddenly unbearable.


    Still, she wasn’t ready to give up easily.


    But despite her persuasion, Gracie refused to invest in her project.


    “I’m betting on Brenna’s robotics project,” Gracie said, her voice edged with conviction. “I went all the way to Plieca, and the project you pitched hasn’t even started. Total waste of time and money.”<fn3cbd> The rightful source is FindN()vel</fn3cbd>


    The frustration in her tone deepened as she remembered the trip. If she hadn’t dug into the details herself, she might have fallen headfirst into a scam, and it could have cost her everything.


    Rosie’s warmth vanished in an instant when she realized she couldn’t convince Gracie to invest in her project. “And what makes you so sure Brenna’s project is worth anything? I’m telling you, it’s nothing but lies the Harper family spreads to trick you into investing.”


    She then grabbed her bag and left.


    Gracie didn’t bother to stop her.

    The instant Rosie stepped outside, her phone began to ring.


    Alec’s name lit up the screen. Without hesitation, she declined the call and blocked his number.


    She no longer needed Alec now.


    Brenna had been keeping a quiet watch on Rosie and Gracie’s conversation.


    “Why hasn’t Rosie left the country yet? She has sold off everything she had in Vand. What’s keeping her here?” Ellie said to Brenna.


    Brenna looked away and said, “Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe she’s lining up her next move. She’s ambitious and shrewd. She even got my grandmother to take her side. I don’t know what she told my grandmother, but now, she isn’t even angry about Rosie’s part in my grandfather’s death.”


    Ellie’s curiosity deepened. “She had a hand in your grandfather’s death, so your grandmother should hate her. Didn’t your family throw her out back then?”


    Brenna gave a slow nod. “Yeah. So this feels a lot moreplicated than it looks.”


    Later that day, Rosie returned to the Harper estate. As she reached the third floor, she caught the sound of voicesing from one of the bedrooms. Shepard and Ernst were talking inside.


    “Did you finish transferring the two electronics factories to Brenna?” Shepard asked.


    Ernst answered, “Yeah, the paperwork was finalized yesterday. She’s officially the owner now. Honestly, Dad, I think Brenna’s got a better head for business than I do. Herpany might be small at the moment, but give it time—it’ll outgrow the Harper Group.”
