RedNovelChapter 624: She was thoroughly pleased with her handiwork. "It's over. Face your defeat." Brenna, cool as ice, waited for Rosie to stop talking before striking.
"Maybe you should check the stock market first." Rosie scoffed, "Your stock price is plummeting, obviously." She leisurely pulled out her phone and checked the stock market. To her shock, the Harper Group's stock price was rising.

Her eyes darted to Ethan, who had stayed quiet until now. He adjusted his cuffs, his demeanor calm. "I indeed helped a little. Ernst and I are old friends. And Brenna and I are together. Of course, I wouldn't just stand by and do nothing." Rosie's heart twisted into a knot of bitterness. Once upon a time, she had revolved around Ethan like a faithful satellite clinging to its orbit, yet he hadn't spared her even a flicker of attention. Now, here he was, flinging tens of billions at another woman without hesitation.
How could she possibly stomach this? Ethan was even staring at her with cold indifference, openly challenging her without holding back. Her throat tightened, and her confidence faltered.

As a seasoned finance graduate, she understood better than anyone the merciless grip external forces could have on stock prices.

It was only then that Brenna broke her silence, her voice calm. "Feeling that confident, are you? Do you really think a handful of baseless tumbrs is enough to bring down the Harper Group? Do you think people are fools, or are you just overestimating your own brilliance?" She gave Rosie a faint, cutting smirk and continued, "Judging by your long history of disastrous choices, I would say you are not very smart."
Brenna's unshakable calm gnawed at Rosie. Deep down, she knew people weren't foolish. Given few days, they would realize that an empire like the Harper Group wouldn't topple overnight. Her fabricated rumors wouldn't hold. Rosie said, "I can bring down the Harper Group. Don't think you are so capable, Brenna. Let's see how you can claw the Harper Group out of this mess."
Seeing no point in wasting more breath, she flung her bag over her up.

After that, don't blme for what will happen next."
