She lowered her eyes, her hands clenching into tight fists at her sides. A vicious glint appeared in her eyes. "...I understand."
After she left, the Brennans began discussing how to welcome Anastasia back with the appropriate gravity and celebration. They decided to host a grand banquet to announce to the world that Anastasia was being reinstated and that she would be the new heir.
"It's what she deserves," the old man said, looking frail. "The Brennan family has wronged her."
Hearing her grandfather's decision, Juliet was so happy she immediately ran off to call Anastasia.

Having made his decision, Mr. Brennan didn't hesitate. The very next day, he paid a visit to Rosewood Manor himself.

Harrison suddenly caught her arm.
"Hubby?" she asked, turning back in confusion.
Harrison's expression was serene. "Be good and wait upstairs for a little while. I'll speak with Mr. Brennan personally."
