Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn a swift reversal of conventional wisdom, Brenna concluded that the most impregnable bulwark was a preemptive strike. She quickly resolved to bring down the Ward family first.
From the window of her hospital room, Jade watched as Ethan's car pulled away. A glacial chill crept into her eyes. Just then, Rosie walked into the room. She paused beside Jade, her gaze following suit, fixated on the retreating car.
"Miss Hewitt, I underestimated Brenna's car and her racing skills," Rosie admitted, feeling guilty. "I apologize for what happened. If my leg were fully healed, I would have handled her myself." Jade spun around, furious. Without warning, she slapped Rosie hard across the face. "I told you to mess with Brenna. Why are you failing to cause trouble for her? You're useless!* Rosie clutched her face, not daring to speak. She knew Jade's temper, one wrong word could lead to a beating. A slap was a mild punishment.
"I'm really sorry," Rosie apologized.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJade slapped her again. "That's pointless! You can't even do this small task, and you expectto help you get Harper Group shares?" Rosie felt aggrieved. She hadn't known how skilled Brenna was, or that Jade was a racer no match for Brenna. Why did Jade blher for her own failings? But on her own, she couldn't get more Harper Group shares. She needed Jade. Gritting her teeth, she knelt. She said, "It's all my fault. Punishas you see fit, Miss Hewitt. Hit me; do anything you want. Just don't abandon me. Please!" Jade turned her head with a sneer. "You couldn't even drug her. A child could do better than you." Rosie explained, "You don't understand. Brenna has medical training, she can smell drugs in food. I tried, but she saw through it. Now, I don't even know if she'll retaliate! Miss Hewitt, please giveanother chance. I'll find a way to get rid of her." Jade's eyes flicked away with disdain. "Enough," she snapped. Get up. Your groveling makeslook bad." Rosie's groveling had pleased Jade. Seeing a Harper on her knees was satisfying. "Servewell, and I'll help you secure more shares." "Thank you, Miss Hewitt." Rosie felt hopeful again.
Jade walked to the bed and sat down. "The Russell family's matriarch's 80th birthday is soon. Brenna will be there. You'd better attend, too. We'll do something then." 0.0% Ø 16:30 0 < Rosie looked at Jade. "What's your plan, Miss Hewter Jade laughed lightly. "Not finalized pet stay dose to Brenna, don't make her suspicious. I'll need your help to deal with her then so don't provoke her yer Rosie's expression mirrored Jade's hardening one as the said, "I don't understand it. Ethan used to treat you with such kindness, like a genuine friend. You even saved him once. And now, he speaks to you in that manner? It's outrageous."
Jade's cold laugh was sharp with contained fry. "This is all because of Brenna. Ethan likes her so muchn What does Ethan even see in her? Aren't men supposed to be intimidated by women who are more accomplished than they are? By all logic, he shouldn't be interested in her. It's infuriatingly baffling" Rosie attempted to calm her agitation. "No one remains vigilant indefinitely, not even Brenna. Her defenses will eventually lower. We simply need to observe carefully and seize the opportunity when it arises." Meeting Jade's gaze directly, Rosie spoke with firm resolve. I will get close to her in the coming days and uncover her weaknesses. Everyone has them, I believe she has them, too."
Jade scoffed dismissively, "Sparethe effort. After everything you've put her through? She would never trust nevertrust you again. Don't waste your time. The idea that you can get close to her is simply absurd. Just monitor her movements and identify her allies and weaknesses."
Rosie nodded. She knew Brenna would never allow her dose, her words were primarily to show Jade's revrimarily her loyalty. You're right, Miss Hewitt. But I do know this: Brenna's closest friend, Ellie, has a six-year-old son, and Brenna is the child's godmother." "Oh?" A spark of interest ignited in Jade's eyes. A child-that presented a potential weakness. "Who is the child's father?" "A Russell," Jade replied.
