Chapter 445: At Luther's signal, the butler stepped away to fetch Rosie from the kitchen, where she had been diligently preparing the meal.

"Grandpa, Grandma, I made enough dishes for everyone." She stood dutifully beside Luther, her sweet smile never faltering.
Brenna and the other younger members watched her. None of them was fooled. They knew Rosie had spent the past days feeding quiet grievances to their grandparents, most of them likely about Brenna.
At this moment, Brenna met Rosie's gaze without flinching, her expression cool and steady. She saw straight through her performance. Behind the sweetness was the sruthless schemer, now playing the part of the perfect, obedient granddaughter.

You've had to fend for yourself since then, and casting you out now is wrong. I've already spoken with Shepard and Ableson. From now on, you'll live with Ableson's family. No one will dare to send you away again. With us protecting you, you won't be mistreated again." Rosie's gaze flickered to Shepard and Giselle, her shock evident.

With eyes glistening with tears, Rosie clung to Luther's hand. “Grandpa, Grandma, I believe Shepard and Giselle will always be my parents. Please letstay with them. I promise I won't argue with Brenna again. I'll give in to her every tfrom now on. She has been through so much. It's only natural she feels jealous because of me." Luther's voice shook with fury. "Look at how selfless she is. And yet you all went against her before. You should all be ashamed of yourselves!" Tessa nodded. "If she wants to stay at the Shepards' home, let her."
Luther's icy stare swept through everyone. "Any objections?
