Chapter 67 I Don’t Need Evidence To Prove This

ved Rosie’s dramatic shift in behavior. Rosie had abandoned her usual fiery tantrums for a more subdued, victim–like performance today.

Rosie’s intent was clear: she aimed to elicit Ernst’s sympathy.

After her act, Rosie, hiding her true satisfaction, awaited Brenna’s anticipated defensive outburst with a sorrowful gaze.

After a brief pause, Brenna asked, “Are you done talking?”

Rosie was caught off guard. Instead of the expected frantic defense, Brenna remained composed, which wasn’t what she had expected.

Brenna said, “Unless you can substantiate your claims of plagiarism or copying, I’ll be leaving now. I need to hang a couple of oil paintings I recently acquired in my room.”

Rosie was visibly flustered. Brenna demanding evidence was not part of her plan; Brenna was supposed to be vehemently proving she was the person who had created those designs.

How had the matter come to this?

Weakly, Rosie turned to Ernst, saying, “Look at her, Ernst. She’s so arrogant, asking me for proof. Isn’t it evident? She’s so young–how could she possibly have such advanced design skills? I don’t need evidence to prove this.”

Ernst felt overwhelmed by Rosie’s habitual troublemaking, his head aching. However, his criticism was directed not at Rosie but at Brenna’s arrogance. He said, “Brenna, why so confrontational? Just provide the evidence if Rosie requests it. That would prove your talent and put this matter to rest, wouldn’t it?”

Dalton’s temper flared as he raised his voice. “Ernst, this isn’t just! Brenna shouldn’t have to prove that. I think you are deliberately making things difficult for her. The burden of proof should fall on the accuser. Otherwise, she will have to spend her time proving herself whenever someone questions her.”

He turned his sharp gaze towards Rosie. “You’re leveling baseless accusations. If you have any proof, present it. Otherwise, cease your malicious attacks. If this continues, I’ll let Brenna sue you!”

Brenna was touched by Dalton’s fervent defense. At least there were still quite a few people in this family who had her back.

She observed Rosie, who appeared utterly disconcerted, struggling to articulate a response. Rosie repeatedly opened and closed her mouth, yet words failed her.

Dalton took Brenna by the wrist and confidently led her away, murmuring reassuringly, “Let’s see if they dare

to smear your name now. Do they think they can just trample over my sister without repercussions? I will always stand up for you!”

Knowing Rosie could overhear, Brenna deliberately said, “From now on, Dalton, if I am facing any trouble, I will turn to you for your help.”

Rosie, not ready to concede, complained to Ernst, saying, “Ernst, aren’t you going to step in? Why does Dalton trust her so much? Did I do anything wrong? How could someone so young ke her possess such refined design skills? That is simply impossible!”

Ernst’s demeanor. Dalton, who had always deferred to him, now seemed estranged because

Ernst then gave Rosie a disapproving glance, recognizing now that she was causing trouble on purpose. He

couldn’t fathom her persistent hostility toward Brenna.

He said to Rosie in a low voice, “There’s truth in their words. If you suspect something, gather evidence instead of making baseless claims.”

Rosie waved her arm in objection. “And what about the bruise on my wrist? Is Brenna simply free to bully me

without consequence?”

Ernst didn’t reply and just walked away. Rosie’s frustration boiled over, and she stamped her foot angrily. It

seemed even Ernst was no longer on her side!

Inside the room, two servants approached with durable hooks and pointed at a spot on the wall. “Mr. Dalton Harper, Miss Brenna Harper, would this location be suitable for the paintings?”
