The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 51 Chapter 51 This Agreement Is Fair Giselle's expression turned icy. Rosie's argument might have sounded reasonable, but she had no doubt that Brenna was her long-lost daughter. She knew that forcing Brenna to take a DNA test and sign a conditional agreement would hurt her.

"I won't allow it!" Giselle declared sharply, shoving Rosie aside without hesitation. She had treated Posle like her own daughter for years, yet now, Rosie was trying to kick her real daughter out. That was something she simply couldn't tolerate.

Rosie felt a deep sense of anger. She also felt disappointed in Giselle.

Turning to Shepard, she put on a pitiful act. "Dad, look at Mom! I'm not making things up, but she's being so unreasonable.* She then turned to Luther and Tessa, her eyes full of feigned innocence. "Grandpa, Grandma, tell me-am i really in the wrong? All I want is to clear up any doubts about Brenna. Is that a bad thing?" Meanwhile, Brenna picked up the agreement, carefully reading through every clause. Her expression remained composed as she finally spoke. "I don't have an issue with the DNA test. But this agreement-this is a problem. It only penalizesif I lose the automotive design competition, but what about you? There's no consequence if you fail. On top of that, the rewards from the Harper family are only mentioned in your favor. This isn't a fair contract." Rosie was well aware that the agreement was biased; she had crafted the terms herself to protect her interests. But for it to even take effect, Brenna had to be a legitimate Harper.

She smirked, feeling pleased with her clever setup. Brenna had no way around this.

Rosie said, "Fine. Sign it first; then you'll do the DNA test. If it turns out you're really a Harper, I'll add sbetter terms for you. If not..." Brenna scoffed, slamming the table, "Absolutely not! Signing it would mean I accept these conditions. Do you takefor a fool?" Though she had no issue with the DNA test itself-she had wanted to do it anyway-there was no way she'd agree to such a lopsided deal.

Brenna said, "Rewrite the terms first. Then I'll consider signing." Rosie refused to back down. "No. You need to prove you're a Harper first," she said.

Ernst sneered, throwing in his own jab, "If you're not part of this family, you don't even have the right to it." 0.0% 21:05 Chapter 61 This Agreement let Giselle had beard enough Furious, she enetched the contract from wan's hands and tore se so shreds She would protect her daughter's rights, even if it merge Poste This spreement is completely unter to Brenne she decteren mama & FAN SHR PLATE- Shepard nodded in agreement. "That's right. We'll handle Bosje's eyes welled with tears as she looked at them in diabetet "row always called you Mom and bad. How can you turn your backs onfor her?" she exid Giselle's voice was cold and firm. "le are not going to turn our backs on our real daughter. The truth is, we're not your biological parents, Posie. From now on, don't call us Mom and Dad, you should call as Uncle and Aunt since that is the reality" Utterly disappointed, Luther flung a glare at Rosie, "Do as your aunt Giselle says. Change the way you address them from now on." It was clear to him now that they had spoiled Rosie so much that she had becso arrogant Ernst couldn't take it anymore. He stepped in to defend Rosle, saying, "Rosie lost her parents when she was young, and this is how you treat her?"

Shepard lost his patience and stared coldly at his eldest son. "Shut up! Did I give you permission to speak? And don't forget you're part of this agreement, too. If Brenna takes first place, you will lose your position as the Vice President of the Harper Group," Ernst scoffed, "She's not capable of winning first place."

Shepard's anger only grew. "You'd rather tear down your own sister than m acknowledge her talent? A Leader v.e who judges with bias and refuses to be rational isn't fit to run the Harper Group. I don't think you deserve to be the Vice President of the company." Turning to Giselle, he said, "Bringmy computer. I'll draft this agreement myself." He had already thought of the crucial terms in his head. The moment Giselle handed him the laptop, his fingers moved swiftly across the keyboard, and within half an hour, a fair agreement was complete.

The document clearly defined the roles and responsibilities of all three parties, along with the consequences of losing the wager.

Once it was printed, Brenna carefully reviewed it before nodding, "Mom, Dad, this agreement is fair. I'll sign it." Giselle, overjoyed, turned to her husband. "Honey, did you hear that? She called us Mom and Dad." Shepard's face softened with a smile as he nodded. "Yes. And once the paternity results confirm everything, I'll allocate Brenna an extra share of the company. We have to make up for all the years we lost." Ernst's mood turned sour as he read the agreement, his hands shaking slightly. "Mom, Dad, why are you strippingof all my shares if I lose the bet?" Shepard let out a cold snort. "That's the cost of your reckless actions. Why should Brenna risk losing everyt if she doesn't win, while you walk away unscathed? This needs to be fair." 100.0%
