The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 129 Chapter 129 Did You Tamper With The Brakes Rosie stood in the middle of the chaos, finally able to take in the damage. The front of her car was wrecked, but at least it hadn't gone up in flames. She had to admit the Harper Group's cars were built to last She stayed composed and let the furious car owners shout and fume. When their voices began to die down, she lifted her chin with a look of disdain. “What's all the yelling for? They're just a few cars. I can afford to compensate you all!" she said.

The driver of the car before her was trapped inside, but two young men from the backseat had already climbed out.

"So what if you've got money?" one of them snapped. "If you don't know how to drive, stay off the damn read!" He pointed furiously at the wrecked luxury car. "My buddy just bought this for 18 million. Today was his first tdriving it, and he had the bad luck of running into you. What are the odds? Look at it. The front and back of the car are completely totaled. You're replacing the whole thing, and you're paying for his medical bills, too. He's still stuck inside!" He threw a glance at Rosie's car. The front was crushed beyond recognition, yet Rosie stood there without so much as a bruise.

He said, "What kind of car is yours? Never seen it before." Rosie rolled her eyes, clearly unimpressed. "It's custom-made. It costs over ten million," she said.

With an air of superiority, she scanned the crowd, then pulled out her phone and dialed Sylvie. "I've been in a car accident. Traffic's a mess. Cpickup." Without skipping a beat, she called her secretary. She then said to the people around her, "Stop yelling I'll pay for all the damages. My secretary will sort this out later. I don't have tfor this." She turned and walked off arrogantly The car owners were furious. One of them stepped in front of her, blocking her path. A woman, clearly just as angry, shoved her. "Who do you think you are, walking around like you own the place? You think you can just throw money at us and leave? So what if your car's worth over ten million? Now it's just scrap metal. You think we're fools who'll let this go easily?" "Exactly!" another driver chimed in. "I've seen vain women like you before. You're probably just srich guy's side piece. Dressed to impress but not a cent to your name? Rosie's anger flared "Watch your mouth!" Another middle-aged driver, cigarette dangling from his lips, stepped forward. "Don't play dumb. You look like 1713 Chapter 129 Did You Tamer With The Bakes a mistress. Flashy outfit, arrogant attitude what else could you be? Don't even think about leaving now You're staying right here until the police show up. If you run off, how are we supposed to track you down? You think you've got enough to compensate us all?" Surrounded by angry car owners, Rosie found herself trapped with no way out. Their furious expressions rattled her, and panic crept in. With trembling hands, she called Ernst and asked him to chelp.

Thankfully, the police arrived not long after. Though Rosie's heart was still pounding, the fear of being physically attacked eased once the officers stepped in.

By the teverything was settled, it was already past one in the afternoon Outside the police station, Ernst walked beside her and cast a glance at the wrecked vehicle. "Isn't that the custom-made car for Brenna? Why were you driving it?" he asked Rosie didn't know how to answer, so she tried to brush it off. "What's wrong withtaking it for a spin? I've never driven a car like that before. I just wanted to try it. How was I supposed to know the brakes would fail..

she muttered.

Ernst frowned. "That's impossible. That car's known for having sof the best performance in the world. The brakes wouldn't fail just like that. And why were you driving her car in the first place?" "Mom had the car made for her, but not for me. How is that fair?" Rosie whined. "I'm not happy about it. Ernst, I want one, too. It has to be a better one than Brenna's. My parents are gone, and no one cares aboutin the family. You're the only one who treatswell. Please, Ernst."

Ernst's expression softened. It was true, though. Brenna was surrounded by love. She had their parents and both brothers looking out for her. But Rosie? Lately, everyone seemed to be coming down on her, and she was indeed a bit pitiful.

Ernst sighed. "Fine. I'll arrange it." Rosic beamed. "I knew you were the best, Ernst!" Just then, Sylvie appeared at the entrance of the police station. She offered a polite nod to Ernst, then took Rosie by the arm and led her away Ernst returned to the Harper family's residence and went straight to the third floor. He then rapped firmly on Brenna's door.

Brenna opened the door, surprised. "Ernst, I thought you were at the company," she said.

Without answering, Ernst stepped inside and shut the door behind him.

"You studied mechanics YourHow how cars work inside and out. Rosie took your car, which was wrong, yes. But I want an answer-did you tamper with the brakes?" he said. Brenna let out a humorless laugh. "Are you assuming I tampered with it? Why bother askingat all? Just go ahead and call the police if you think I tampered with the car."

Ernst's expression darkened.

Brenna's attitude only fueled his anger. "You and Rosie haven't exactly been. getting along. Don't think I'm olyour blind to your schemes. Rosie's parents are gone, but I'm still here. As long as I'm around, I won't let you harm her. She took your car and ended up in a rear-end collision. She could've died"" he said 1711 Brenna gare formed reld and renting That car was deterred today only saw it with Men Fira fest minute I never even troched it If you want answers then investigate properly before you the securatifi round"
