EuropeNovelChapter 1073: Noticing her hunger, Julia brought over a plate of food and replied, "Your parents said the sthing, but Rosie kept pushing, saying it would boost Dalton's career. She went on and on and eventually got your parents and Dalton to agree. She even stayed for lunch today, saying she missed home-cooked meals." "She is such a hypocrite," Brenna muttered, her appetite easing after a few bites.
Soon after, Giselle returned, carrying two shopping bags-one from a jewelry store, the other from a luxury brand.
"Mom, what got you in a mood for shopping today?" Brenna asked casually. Giselle sank onto the couch. “I wasn't in the mood, but Rosie said she wanted to offer Dalton sresources, so I had to make an effort to repay her. Our family doesn't need the money, but Dalton wants to have a concert in Plieca." Brenna glanced into the bags, uninterested.
As Brenna and Giselle talked, a sharp car horn cut through the air outside. It was Rosie's and Maxley's cars, adorned with the Plieca royal family's crest. Though just two vehicles, they made quite a show of it. Bodyguards from the trailing car cout to personally open the doors for them.

Despite their irritation, they headed to the entrance to welcRosie and Maxley.
Julia, always sharp, slipped upstairs to wake Dalton from his nap.
The hour was late, and despite knowing guests were at the house, neither Shepard nor Ernst had cback. Brenna figured they were dodging Rosie on purpose.
Rosie was dressed in a burgundy short knit top adorned with sparkling rhinestones that glimmered under the lights. She paired it with a matching knee-length knit skirt, also embellished with rhinestones, and wore small leather shoes in the scolor. Her chestnut waves tumbled down her back, and large diamond earrings lent her a refined air.
Compared to her tat the Harper estate, she now radiated a mature, stately allure, her gaze carrying the calm authority of someone from a royal family.
Brenna suspected she had taken etiquette lessons to polish her demeanor.
Maxley, in a sharply tailored black suit with impeccably styled hair, stood tall with keen eyes. When he saw Giselle and Brenna, a flicker of displeasure crossed his face.
As a prince of Plieca, he had expected the Harper men, especially Dalton, whom he had cto discuss a concert with, to greet him personally. Yet, Dalton hadn't even shown up to welchim.
The situation made him feel like he was currying favor with the Harper family.
He and Rosie were the ones offering opportunities to the Harpers, so he believed they should present him with lavish gifts. But now, they seemed to barely register his presence.
Rosie also sensed the lack of importance placed on her, yet she maintained a courteous smile and politely asked Giselle, "Where are Dad and Ernst? Why aren't they here? They were hwhen I stopped by at noon." She had a hunch they were deliberately avoiding her.
Giselle ushered Rosie and Maxley inside, explaining, "They swung by at noon to change the dove get key meetings this afternoon and evening, probably dining with clients now." Share to your friends
