?Chapter 1132:


    At thepany, no one blocked Elsa’s path as she stormed to the ny-ninth floor.


    Her reputation for bringing trouble prompted the receptionist to alert the secretary’s office immediately.


    ni hurried to the CEO’s office, knocking briskly before entering.


    “Mr. Mitchell, your mother is here!”


    Ethan was mid-discussion with Brenna about refining the market fund strategy. Noticing a missed call from Elsa on his phone, he acted quickly. “Brenna, let’s move this to your office.”


    He grabbed his belongings, took Brenna’s hand, and headed out, instructing ni, “If my mother shows up, tell her I am on a business trip and will only be back in three days. Got it?”


    ni stifled a grin. It turned out that even Ethan had his fears. “Understood, Mr. Mitchell,” she replied.


    Ethan and Brenna took the executive elevator to the 58th floor. Ethan exined in a low voice why he was keeping his distance from Elsa.


    “My father’s had enough of my mother’s need to control everything. He wants a divorce, but she won’t go near a courtroom. For years, he has put up with her because he thought he had no other choice. The truth is, he’s wanted out for a long time. He’s brought the divorce up with me more than once in private.”


    Brenna didn’t say a word. She stayed close to him, listening as they stepped into her office together. Greta caught sight of how near they were standing and felt a sting of jealousy. Still, she didn’t do anything. She had already decided to let go of any hope she had of being with Ethan.


    Lorna entered the office behind them and turned to Ethan. “What would you like to drink?”


    “Coffee, please,” he replied.


    After Lorna had left the room, he continued, “My father was dead set on getting a divorce this time. Even with my mother refusing to y along, he found a way around it by filing for divorce through the court. This morning, he showed me pictures of the divorce decree and sent someone to hand them straight to her. She has likely received them by now and is trying to drag me into their mess. But their problems aren’t mine to fix, so I’m staying out of it.”


    Brenna chuckled. “I see. So, even you have things you can’t sort out. I was almost starting to think you were invincible.”


    Just then, Lorna’s voice rang out from outside. “Mrs. Mitchell, Miss Wilson, what brings you here?”


    ???????? ???????????????? ???????? g???????ν????????﹐?????


    One look at Elsa’s furious expression told Lorna all she needed to know. Elsa was here to cause trouble. Though Lorna figured Ethan was not afraid to face Elsa, she still thought it was better to give Ethan and Brenna a heads-up by raising her voice.


    She carried two cups of coffee, smiling at Elsa.


    But Elsa was no fool. She saw through Lorna’s tricks right away. Two cups of coffee meant someone else was in the office with Brenna.


    “Who’s in there?” she demanded.


    Lorna sensed Elsa would not be easy to handle.


    “Ms. Harper is meeting with a client there. Mrs. Mitchell, if there’s something you’d like to say, you can tell me. I’ll make sure she gets the message. You can wait in the conference room. Ms. Harper will see you once she’s done. How does that sound?”
