?Chapter 1158:


    Lorna remained in ce, poised to usher Gracie out at Brenna’smand. Noticing Lorna’s refusal to leave, Gracie felt her temper re. “Why is she still standing here?”


    Brenna stood her ground, unwavering. “Speak your piece or get out.”


    Gracie scoffed, pulling back her scornful stare. “We agreed I could pursue Ethan. So why is he pushing me away? Why hasn’t he been hometely?” Brenna found the questions immature and absurd. “If someone doesn’t want you, it’s because you’re not charming enough. Instead of reflecting on yourself, you’re making a scene here? You must be out of your mind.”


    Gracie’s anger boiled over. “How dare you speak to me like this? So rude. I’m sure you’ve been badmouthing me to Ethan, and that’s why he’s acting this way. Tell me what you said, or don’t me me for being harsh.”


    “Get out.” Brenna could not be bothered with such nonsense.<fn4e4b> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? findnovel</fn4e4b>


    Lorna stepped closer. “Miss Wilson, you need to leave.”


    Gracie held her ground, convinced Brenna’s demeanor betrayed guilt. If she hadn’t done anything wrong, why would she dodge the question?


    “You must have been badmouthing me to Ethan. Brenna, you’re a horrible person.”


    Standing her ground, Gracie refused to budge, firing off question after question with an arrogant attitude.


    Without missing a beat, Lorna pulled out her phone and called for backup. Two engineers showed up and ushered Gracie out the door, ignoring her protests. Annoyance finally cracked Brenna’s calm exterior. “Head up to the ny-ninth floor and get to the bottom of why Gracie came here to make a scene,” she instructed, barely hiding her irritation. Gracie’s outburst had yed out in full view of a line of job seekers, and thepany’s reputation had taken a hit.


    Lorna gave a crisp nod. “Of course, Miss Harper.” She left to follow orders.


    Half an hourter, Lorna returned to Brenna’s office.


    “Here’s what I learned,” said Lorna, her voice steady and eyes serious. “Gracie imed she discovered rats in her house earlier this week, so she packed up and moved into Mr. Mitchell’s ce. Mr. Mitchell stayed at a different property these past few days, and this morning, Gracie showed up demanding to know why he hadn’te home. He wasn’t exactly polite to her, so she stormed over here to make a scene.”


    Brenna listened, not bothering to hide her disdain. “She just invited herself to live at someone else’s house? All because of so-called rats?”


    Lorna confirmed with a quick nod. “That’s what she told everyone. Rex went to check out Gracie’s ce with a crew. They found three hamsters, not rats. He thinks Gracie put them in her ce on purpose. Even after they had removed the hamsters, changed all the furniture, and sanitized the ce, she still refused to go back home.”

    After a pause, she continued, “Mr. Mitchell has been living elsewhere these days. He’d avoided his own home at Bayview Apartments for days, just to get some peace.”


    A mischievous glint shed in Brenna’s eyes. She picked up her phone and dialed Greg. “Go out and catch some rats for me. The bigger, the better. And get as many as you can.”


    That was enough to send Lorna into a fit ofughter. “Perfect! That’s what she deserves!”
