HappyNovelChapter 367: The reason was that she had already seen Rosie's true nature.

"We can pretend to invite her, and she'll probably decline, saying it's inconvenient for her to move in her current state." Ernst nodded in agreement. “That would work. After everything she has done, she should recognize the position she's in. If she knows that, she'll likely decline." Brenna quietly observed the exchange and noticed a change in how Ernst viewed Rosie. He had finally stopped blindly defending her. It appeared Ernst had just been under Rosie's manipulation before.
Brenna spoke up firmly. "If she attends and disrupts the party, I'll ensure she faces the consequences." This time, Ernst did not rush to Rosie's defense. Instead, he said, "I'll stay out of the matter, Brenna. I misjudged her and didn't see your side before. That won't happen again." Brenna offered an awkward smile. "I just hope you don't hold a grudge against me, Ernst. After all, you left the Harper Group because of the situation with me." Ernst didn't hold a grudge against Brenna. Even though he had stepped down as CEO of the Harper Group, people in the business circle still didn't dare to underestimate him. In fact, his team now found it easier to close deals than before.
The reason was simple. Ernst might have left the Harper Group, but he was still a Harper and the rightful heir of the family. That wasn't going to change.
Using the connections he had built when he was CEO of the Harper Group, he pushed his own companies to new heights.

When I return as CEO of the Harper Group, I intend to surpass Dalton." Giselle's joy was clear as she watched her children reconcile.
She said, "Next Wednesday, for Brenna's birthday, I'm inviting sold friends, and they'll be bringing their daughters, all of whom are very accomplished. Ernst, you can pick one you like then." Ernst's face darkened instantly. "Mom, we shouldn't treat people as options to select from. Plus, I already have someone I like." Giselle was displeased. "I'm aware of your relationship with your secretary, Sabine, who now lives with you. I think she's only after your money. I don't approve of you two being together." Brenna observed the conversation with a subtle smile, choosing to remain silent.
Ernst spoke up strongly in defense of Sabine. "Mom, whether she's after my money or not, I like her. How can you be sure the daughters of your friends aren't also interested in my wealth? I don't have any emotional bond with them. Why would you think they'd be interested in dating me? Would they still look my way if I were neither wealthy nor handsome?"
Brenna chuckled and said, “That's a valid point, Mom. Why not invitem Sabine this Wednesday and see for yourself?"
Ernst hadn't expected Brenna to speak up for him and flashed her a grateful smile.
Although Sabine cfrom humble beginnings, she was not only highly capable but also truly so truly dedicated to Ernst. Her love for him was real, and she was willing to go to great lengths for him, even if it meant standing against Brenna.
