?Chapter 1187:


    “This ce is good. The founder studied under my mother at the National Research Institute before. I have full confidence in their expertise,” she said.


    Brenna gave a single nod. “I’ll need a full report on this. Let the numbers and data convince me.”


    “Absolutely, Miss Harper! I will do my best.” Determined, Greta conferred with Tommy for further details, then plunged into her research, eager to craft an execution n.


    Uncertainty flickered across Tommy’s face. “Brenna, Greta has done some bad things before. Why put her in charge of something this important?”


    A gentle smile yed at Brenna’s lips. “Inexperience led her to make impulsive choices back then. Lately, her performance has improved. Plus, with her mother’s position at the National Research Institute, she has ess to connections we can’t get. She is also sharp and driven. I cannot let personal grudges prevent me from utilizing her talents.”


    Doubt lingered in Tommy’s voice. “I’ll still keep an eye on her, just in case.”


    Brenna offered no protest and simply shifted focus, working with Tommy to determine which orders should go to Conroy.


    Before long, Lorna entered the office, carrying a pair of coffee cups and a tray of fruit. “Miss Harper, news just came in—Gracie locked down Waldo’s project and already has the contract in hand. Mr. Mitchell handed it to her himself.”


    Nothing about this surprised Brenna. She figured Waldo must have slept with Gracie the night before, which exined why the project was handed to her.<fn48ed> N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on find?novel</fn48ed>


    “This works out well. Gracie finally has a solid foothold at the Mitchell Group and won’t have to take care of Belen to get what she wants anymore,” Thiago said.


    Tommy arched an eyebrow. “You think it’s good news? But you’re not exactly jumping for joy.”

    Thiago let out a shortugh. “Tommy, you really don’t know why Waldo picked Gracie for the project, do you?”


    A confused look crossed Tommy’s face. “No, I don’t. Why?”


    Thiago arched an eyebrow and recounted what he’d pieced together. Even without seeing Brenna in the act, the torn-up clothes on the floor and two bare figures left little room for doubt as to who had been responsible—Brenna.


    Brenna did not deny it, merely offering a soft smile.


    Tommy, unfazed, simply shrugged. Brenna had pulled off far bolder stunts in the past. He was not surprised by this.


    He leaned in. “Brenna, I’ve got a few contacts who are executives at the Mitchell Group. Want me to stir the pot and make things a little tougher for them?”


    A slow nce from Brenna met his offer. “Is that so? If Gracie finds herself in some hot water, I will certainly be d.”


    Thiago and Tommy exchanged knowing smiles. They both understood Brenna’s nature; she was ruthless when she was getting her revenge.


    Soon, Jayceon and Fay’s wedding day rolled around.


    Attending the wedding hadn’t been on Brenna’s agenda at first, but with Thiago and Ellie’s family of three set on going, she made up her mind to also be there. The thought of supporting her best friend—and keeping Jayceon and Fay from taking advantage of her friend—was reason enough.


    Brenna showed up at Ellie’s ce a little after nine. Ellie was busy changing in the bedroom.
