?Chapter 1163:


    “Dad, you must be tired. Go wash up and eat,” Isabe said gently.


    Over dinner, Isabe cautiously brought up the matter of letting Ruby and Mack stay here with them.


    “Dad, have you considered the idea? You left Mom when the bankruptcy happened, andter, she refused to take you back. Since you both hurt each other, you are now even. Isn’t it time for you to let the past go and be a family again?”


    Alec stayed silent, his expression unreadable. Still, he realized that L had proven to be unreliable and even heartless. In contrast, Ruby had always been the better partner.


    Now that L’s family had been driven out of Shirie, he doubted they would ever return.


    He was getting older, and he knew that eventually, he would need someone to care for him. If he allowed his children to move back in but continued to shut Ruby out, they would undoubtedly be unhappy about it. So, he said nothing.


    Isabe studied his expression. “I’ll give Mom this address. She can move in, leave her job at the restaurant, and take care of the house for you, doing chores and cooking meals.” Alec remained silent.


    Taking hisck of objection as approval, Isabe pulled out her phone and called Ruby on the spot.


    After the meal, Isabe took the initiative to wash the dishes.


    Meanwhile, Alec sat in the living room,pletely engrossed in his phone.


    Choosing a bedroom for herself in the apartment fell to Isabe, who found herself wandering through nearly 2,000 square feet and five bedrooms. Alec had already imed the master bedroom for himself.


    Of the four remaining rooms, Isabe picked the biggest one for her mother, set aside another for herself, and decided to let Mack choose between thest two.


    Later that night, just after her shower, Isabe caught the sound of Alec’s low voice drifting from his bedroom. Curiosity piqued, she crept toward his door and listened in.


    “Miss Harper, I wanted to inform you—my daughter, ex-wife, and son are moving in with me. I’ve already agreed. Isabe is in the shower as we speak. Earlier, she had an interview at Brenna’spany, and I saw her sign the contract. Brenna’s paying her thirty thousand a month.”


    Each detail Isabe overheard fueled her frustration. She couldn’t say for certain who Miss Harper was, but since Brenna had told her that Alec was now working for Rosie, she believed he must be talking to Rosie right now. She was of no use to Rosie anymore, and once she lost her value, Rosie tossed her aside like garbage. Rosie was nothing but trouble.


    ???????? ?????????? ???? g??????ν????????????


    Eventually, Alec would end up just like her, with nothing left—not even his savings.


    For all his years running apany, how could Alec be so careless? Handing Rosie every scrap of information?


    Anger bubbled up inside Isabe.


    Isabe continued eavesdropping at the door, realizing Alec was aplete sycophant, revealing everything he knew. He even mentioned the rat problem at the Mitchell Group headquarters and Brenna hiring engineers.


    For someone in business so long, Alec was rmingly naive.


    It amazed Isabe how the Barrett Group had ever managed to make it onto the stock exchange.
