Chapter 1331:
Ernst offered his support. “Then bring Grandma here. | have no objections.”
Brenna agreed without hesitation. “Bring her over. If she refuses, she can stay with Uncle Ableson instead.”
Looking at his children, Shepard voiced what had been weighing on him. “Your grandmother doesn’t want to stay
in this house anymore. Every corner reminds her of your grandfather. Haven't you noticed she didn’t smile once
while being here?”
Giselle spoke plainly. “Then let her stay with Ableson. There’s no sense in forcing her to live here.”
Her words eased Shepard's tension. He said, “I know you don’t want her to live here. I'll go to Ableson’s place
later and see if he’s willing to take her in.”
Shepard was far from pleased with Tessa’s decision, deeply reluctant to part with the shares and give them to
Rosie. The shares had been gifted to him by Luther, not something he had taken by force.
Yet Tessa had remained resolute, adamantly insisting that the Harper family men surrender their stakes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPerhaps the grief over her youngest son’s untimely passing had clouded her judgment.
That seemed the most likely explanation.
Shepard had quietly discussed the matter with Giselle and shared an open, heartfelt talk with Ernst about it.
Nobody relished the idea of relinquishing their wealth, and though Shepard complied to avoid distressing his
mother, he felt unfairly treated.
Ernst shared his frustration, questioning why Tessa could override Luther's decisions.
So when Brenna proposed dealing with Rosie in Plieca, no one in the Harper household objected. Resentment
toward Rosie simmered beneath the surface for all.

After dinner, Shepard promptly sought out Ableson to discuss the matter.
The following day, he and Ableson went to the manor to bring Tessa over. Tessa declined to stay at Shepard's
home, choosing instead to reside at Ableson’s place.
Despite Ableson’s disability requiring assistance, his hwas well-staffed with attentive servants, ensuring
Tessa’s comfort.
Rosie had returned to Plieca two days ago, and she and Maxley had accommodations in the palace.
Despite its grand title, the palace was essentially an expansive estate comprising multiple structures. The
central building, ornately adorned, served as both the hand work area for the King and Queen.
Surrounding it were structures housing the princes, their wives, and concubines. Rosie and Maxley occupied one
such building.
In truth, Rosie found the palace lacking compared to Vanland’s royal complexes.
As a prominent prince, Maxley still lacked his own palace, forced to share the place with others.
Rosie had recently purchased a manor in Vanland—a smaller, yet far more refined place than their residence in
Plieca.
This was partly why Maxley preferred staying in Vanland; it offered comfort and ease.
