RedNovelChapter 491: Through her tears, Sylvie's defiance shone. “I just edited sphotos! Is this really necessary?" Dalton's laugh was scornful and full of contempt. "You think the Harper family will let someone like you defthem without consequence? It appears the Higgins family has been having it too easy lately." Sylvie's false bravado melted away into desperation. “What do you want from me?" she asked, her voice quivering. "My family has suffered massive losses already! We're so financially strapped that banks refuse to lend us a dime..." Just then, her eyes went wide as she suddenly realized something. She turned to Dalton. “That is the Harper family's doing, isn't it?" With the ferocity of a beast backed into a corner, she snapped, “When did my family ever cross the Harper family? Why are you treating us like this? Rosie and I, we're still friends. How could you act with such ruthlessness against my family?" Her frenzied eyes darted across Brenna's defenders. As realization dawned on her that each of these men held Brenna in high regard, a venomous jealousy twisted in her chest. "Are you seriously creating all this over a few photos of Brenna? She is nothing! Why are you making a fuss over this?" Brenna raised an eyebrow and approached her calmly. “Really? I am nothing? Then explain why you're so intent on targeting me." Her voice lowered, simmering with controlled anger. "When I cback, you, along with Vivian and Rosie, schemed to humiliateat that restaurant. What did I ever do to you to warrant such hostility?" Brenna cast a cold, contemptuous glance at Sylvie's bruised and swollen face. "Explain yourself. I did nothing to hurt you, yet you kept helping Rosie teardown." Sylvie, ever defiant, scoffed. "Dredging up the past now? Sure, I made a few harsh remarks about you at that time, but your response was to degradeinto kneeling. Don't you think that was a bit much?" Brenna raised an eyebrow. "A few harsh remarks?" she echoed with a hint of irony. "Have you really forgotten what you said? I had just left the Barrett family at that time. I didn't have any money, and there you were, ordering the priciest items on..." New content available now at gVl"The menu just to humiliate me. You plotted againstmaliciously, and now, you complain about the fact that I struck back?" Sylvie's voice rose with each word, her frustration palpable. "I settled that bill in the end, didn't I? Why are you still holding onto this? I've already apologized to you, yet here you are, tearing down my family's business over spetty squabble! My family is innocent in this!" Her voice cracked as she yelled, “What right do you have to destroy my family?" Ethan, seeing that Sylvie felt no remorse about her actions, gave a slight nod to the bodyguards. They swiftly pinned Sylvie to the ground and began to beat her. Bruises bloomed across Sylvie's skin.
After a while, she cried out for mercy amid the blows, pleading, "Please, stop! I admit it's my fault. I'm truly sorry."
Brenna watched the scene with a detached expression. "I'm not m involved in the matter. The Higgins family isn't worth my time."
Sylvie still felt the sting of injustice. Though Brenna insisted the Higgins family wasn't, worth her time, their billions in losses told a different story.
