Chapter 136 Chapter 136 Please CWith Us Now Rosie slowly regained awareness, her mind still clouded with the lingering haze of sleep, making it hard to fully wake up. Her thoughts raced back to the previous evening, filled with anxious anticipation for updates from Jay about dealing with Brenna. She was certain that Jay would be able to kill Brenna this time, especially since he had brought a gun with him.
She was well aware of where and when Jay had planned to meet Brenna, anticipating that the confrontation would conclude within an hour. Last night, she could barely contain her excitement at the prospect of Brenna's complete humiliation.
Though it had been late, she had fought the urge to sleep, her thoughts consumed by the plan. She had tried several times to contact Jay after eleven o'clock, but each attempt had ended in silence. Believing that Jay had likely been busy torturing Brenna, she had finally given up contacting Jay and drifted off to sleep.
Upon waking, her first instinct was to try contacting Jay again. Surely, by now, he must have executed his plan, and Brenna would have faced her dire fate.
Jay wasn't alone dealing with Brenna; he had his crew with him. Rosie believed that after suffering at their hands, Brenna would be so devastated that she might even consider ending her life herself, not needing Jay and his men to kill her.
As she pondered this, Rosie's laughter erupted, echoing her anticipation. She dialed Jay's number once more, a triumphant grin spreading across her face, yet the call remained unanswered.

Just then, a series of knocks interrupted her thoughts. With the phone in hand, Rosie approached the door and opened it.
Standing outside the door was Rachael, her expression etched with concern. "Miss Harper, there are police officers here to see you," she said, her voice trembling with nervousness.
Rosie was taken by surprise and quickly went over her recent actions, trying to figure out which one might have attracted the attention of the police.
Fear was something she was unaccustomed to, thanks to the influence of her family. With a wave of her hand, she instructed Rachael, "Just tell them I'm still asleep." But before she could further dismiss the matter, two female officers cout of the elevator.
Exuding authority in her sharp uniform, one of the officers stepped forward and handed an official document to Rosie. "Miss Harper, we need your cooperation for an investigation into a recent brawl. Please cwith us," she said in a firm tone.

The officers remained firm, unaffected by the lavish surroundings or the suggestion that wealth might grant immunity.
"Miss Harper, we need your cooperation," one officer said firmly to Rosie, Standing her ground Rosie pretended not to hear her and directed her scolding at Rachael with even greater force. "Make sure they leave immediately. They are not welchere," she said.
In a quick motion, she slammed the door shut, completely ignoring both the officers' requests.
With an air of arrogance, Rachael looked at the officers, her voice dripping with disdain. "You should leave Miss Harper is much too busy for this. If there's a real issue, I recommend you contact the Harper Group's legal department. Don't expect any help from Miss Harper directly. Really, do you believe you can just cin and arrest Miss Harper like this?" She waved them off dismissively, trying to hurry the officers out. "I have no idea who let you in, but it's tfor you to leave," she said.
The officers stood their ground, refusing to be swayed, and firmly moved Rachael aside. "Interfering with police work is a serious offense," they warned.
Despite the repeated knocking, Rosie remained behind the closed door, continuously trying to reach Jay by phone.
Convinced the officers couldn't possibly enter her room, she didn't bother changing out of her pajamas.

Jay's phone remained unreachable, and the persistent knocking at the door grew more irritating to Rosie. Despite this, she remained confident that the officers wouldn't escalate the situation in her home. Shepard and Giselle stood nearby, clearly frustrated. After speaking with the officers, they had learned that Rosie was suspected of being involved in an incident, with Brenna as the victim.
Furious at the deceitful tactics Rosie had used against Brenna, Giselle had agreed to let the officers in.
Just then, one officer said to Giselle respectfully, "Mrs. Harper, could you please open the door to Miss Harper's room for us?" Fuming with anger, Giselle retrieved the key and unlocked Rosie's door.
Meanwhile, Rosie vented over the phone to Sylvie about the audacity of the
police. "Can you believe those officers, Sylvie? Do they really think they can arrest anyone from the Harper family? It's absolutely ridiculous! No one dares to challenge the Harper family," she said. "Please cwith us now," one officer interjected, securing handcuffs around Rosie's wrists.
Rosie turned to find Giselle standing there, her anger clear in her posture, holding the key to the door.
om Confused, she exclaimed, "Mom, why did you let them in? What gives them the right to arrest me? Isn't this something our company legal team should be dealing with? Since when has it been necessary for us to handle a matter like this ourselves?" 45.2% 17:14
