?Chapter 1224:


    A firm nod came from Ernst. “Of course, Dad. As for our business in Plieca, I say we cut off all ties with Maxley. I’m convinced Maxley had a hand in this matter, too. He and Rosie are the same, both malicious. We’ve put up with Rosie’s attitude for too long. She pretends to be friendly but plots behind our backs. We only tolerated her out of respect for Carsen. But now that she’s gone so far as to trying to kill Brenna, I can’t let it slide.”


    Anger burned in Ernst’s eyes. He used to believe that patience and kindness would make Rosie grateful.


    Looking back, he realized how wrong he had been.


    Brenna arrived at her office just as Lorna was heading out with a cleaning basin. A gentle reminder came from Lorna. “Mr. Mitchell is waiting for you inside.” Brenna gave a nod in response.


    When she stepped inside, Ethan immediately pulled her into a hug. “I’m so d you’re all right. Your brother told me what happenedst night. I was really scared for you.”


    Seeing the worry in his eyes, Brenna reached up to touch his cheek. “I’m fine. Please don’t worry about me. I know how to take care of myself.”<fn24fb> Fresh chapters posted on F?ndNovel</fn24fb>


    Ethan led her over to the sofa. “If you ever find yourself needing money, just let me know. Don’t risk your safety trying to earn some extra money by yourself. I’ll always make sure you have what you need.”


    His tone was nothing but sincere as he sent a billion to Brenna’s ount.


    She stared at the long string of zeroes on her phone. “I really don’t need all this. I only saw a good task and thought it’d be fun to challenge myself and make a little extra money. I promise, I’m not struggling financially.”


    With a smile, Ethan ruffled her hair. “Just keep it. The weather will change soon. You can use it for new clothes or anything else you want.”

    The night before, he and Ernst had managed to catch Clive and his aplices.


    On top of that, he had people trash Rosie’s house and made sure the Mitchell Group cklisted Rosie’s and Maxley’spaniespletely. Ethan didn’t mention any of it.


    To Brenna, all that mattered was making sure anyone who dared hurt her knew they’d be his enemy.


    “From now on, you should never go outte by yourself. If you absolutely have to, bring bodyguards with you. If you don’t want that, then take me with you instead. It would break my heart if anything happened to you,” he said.


    A gentleugh escaped Brenna. “Look at you, getting so nervous about me. I am really fine.”


    Ethan’s face grew even more serious. “No, you have to promise you’ll listen to me this time.”


    After talking to Brenna for a while about being careful, Ethan finally took his leave.


    Returning to her desk, Brenna checked the day’s stock market. The Wagner family stocks were plummeting, and the stock price of Rosie’s newly listedpany was taking a nosedive, too.


    No matter how much she tried to calm herself, Brenna’s anger wouldn’t settle. Rosie had crossed the line this time, and Brenna believed she needed to teach her a lesson.


    Without another thought, Brenna grabbed her bag and left the office.
