?Chapter 1216:


    Brenna stopped in her tracks, eyebrows raised in disbelief. “They’re looking for me?”


    Alec’s nod was grim. “That’s right. I double-checked with Mr. Mitchell. Gracie used you of leaking that nude photo of her. She wants you arrested. Just leave before they spot you.”<fnfb1f> Read full story at find{n}ovel</fnfb1f>


    Brenna remainedposed. “I am innocent. I have nothing to fear from the police.”


    She strode toward the elevator, determined to get to the bottom of this.


    At the front desk, a couple of receptionists exchanged worried nces before one of them stepped forward to stop her. “Ms. Harper, you should not go there. Miss Wilson is with the officers right now, demanding your arrest.”


    Brenna offered a steady nod. “Unless they have solid proof, they can’t touch me.” Unfazed, she pressed the elevator button and stepped inside.


    Meanwhile, Alec dialed Ethan in a rush. “Mr. Mitchell, Brenna’s on her way up. Please convince her to leave. What if the police really do arrest her?”


    Ethan replied, “I’m in her office now. Don’t worry; I’ll take care of it.”


    Even after ending the call, Alec couldn’t shake his nerves. He had a strong hunch Rosie was involved in this.


    He wasted no time calling Rosie. “Did you have something to do with the policeing after Brenna?”


    Rosie answered coolly, almost amused. “Weren’t you upset that she never took your side? Wouldn’t you feel happy if she went to jail?”


    Even though Alec still had resentment toward Brenna, he knew her going to jail would do him no good. “She may have been cold toward me, but things between me and her have started to get better. Besides, how would it help me if she got arrested?”

    He could see inly that Rosie was behind this and seemed to take real pleasure in the chaos. “This is your doing, isn’t it?”


    Rosie didn’t confirm or deny it. “Gracie submitted evidence to the police. Brenna is really going to be arrested this time.”


    Frustration mounting, Alec ended the call and caught an elevator up to the fifty-eighth floor.


    As soon as Brenna stepped out of the elevator, a pair of officers intercepted her.


    “Ms. Harper?” the female officer asked in a measured tone. “We’d like you to answer a few questions about an ongoing case.”


    She made no move to arrest Brenna despite having the evidence that Gracie had submitted.


    Without protest, Brenna agreed and followed the officer to her office. Inside, three officers were already examining Brenna’sputer, scanning files and logs.


    Brenna took a seat on the sofa, watching quietly as they worked.


    Just then, Gracie stormed over and pulled Brenna’s phone from her grasp.


    “Officer, search her phone for any contact with Terry!” she demanded.


    Unshaken, Brenna shed a faint, cold smile.
