MainNovelChapter 433: With the door shut behind them, Ernst let out a heavy sigh. “We are done, Sabine. I think we're not right for each other." He spoke in a firm tone, effortlessly tossing his suit jacket onto the couch. The events earlier had only reinforced his thought that Sabine was unable to get along well with Brenna.
He had finally grasped the worries his mother had expressed earlier. Sabine's manipulative nature and constant scheming all pointed to one thing-she was after his money.

"Why? Just because of what I said to your sister? I thought I was protecting your interests! She took away your shares and pushed you out of the Harper Group. Don't you resent her for that?" Her voice, a mix of anger and confusion, echoed as she asked, "What did I actually do wrong?" In desperation, she gripped Ernst's hand.
Ernst's expression was one of annoyance. “You know exactly why. Haven't I explained before? I gave Brenna those shares willingly, and she didn't forceout. I was the one who chose to sign that agreement. Why blher for my decisions? Yesterday, you sided with her enemies and openly plotted against her. If we got married, you would spend your whole life opposing Brenna. That is not something I want." Taken by surprise, Sabine paused, her lip trembling. “I never meant for that to happen. I just couldn't stand watching her take advantage of you. Let's not let this cause any more conflict between us. I realize I was wrong. From now on, I'll make an effort to get along with her. I will even apologize to her if you wantto.” Sabine was painfully aware that losing Ernst would also mean losing a lifestyle that most could only dream of. Coming from humble beginnings, she was unable to find anyone better than Ernst. She was unwilling to let go of him. Her intentions had always been to help Ernst regain his rightful place and shares in the Harper Group. Now cut off from the Harper Group, Ernst controlled only several smaller firms that, while successful, didn't offer nearly the financial return of his previous dividends.
Sabine reminded herself to be patient and strategic in her tactics.
It was clear Ernst held Brenna in high regard. Sabotaging their relationship would be difficult and would demand a more subtle approach.
"I'll go and apologize to Brenna today," she said.

Sabine offered a reassuring smile. “I understand. Why don't you gorelax and take a shower? I'll prepare sfood for you."
Ernst nodded in agreement. Then, he saw the stains on her dress. “Yaun might want to change out of that dress and take a shower as well."
