?Chapter 1251:


    He was far better informed than Gracie. The elite circles of Shirie were abuzz with talk of how the Harper Group and the Mitchell Group had been ruthlessly tightening their grip on Rosie’spanies in recent months.


    Many of Rosie’spanies were quietly on the market, a fact that hadn’t escaped the notice of Shirie’s power yers.


    Rosie’s blood boiled. She had believed her near-financial ruin was a closely guarded secret, but Denis’s words shattered that illusion.


    “Be that as it may,” she said, her voice taut with defiance, “I’m destined to be Plieca’s queen. My future is boundless. This is merely a temporary setback. Mypanies will rebound in no time.”


    Denis let out a coldugh. “Do you think I’m that gullible? The Harper Group and the Mitchell Group dominate globally. You won’t w your way back. And this talk of bing the wife of Plieca’s next King? You know as well as I do that capital calls the shots. If they want you in that position, you’ll sit there. If not, you won’t be able to do anything about it. Don’t delude yourself.”


    With that, Denis rose to leave, his dismissal final.


    Rosie’s fury erupted. In a sh of rage, she seized the project proposal and tore it to pieces.


    Brenna and Ellie were in high spirits today, buoyed by their recent sesses. Brenna’s cutting-edge robotic prosthetics had garnered enthusiastic praise from clients, who were delighted with the results. So impressed were they that they eagerly rmended her products to their friends with disabilities, sparking a wave of new orders.


    Brenna’spany was flourishing, and she felt on top of the world. Meanwhile, Ellie’s fashion boutique had justunched a spacious new location, more than double the size of her first store. She had hired a team of people to scale up her business.

    To mark their achievements, the two friends decided to celebrate together. They arrived at a restaurant and headed to the reserved private dining room, only to catch sight of Denis exiting a nearby room.


    Spotting Brenna, Denis offered a cautious smile. Since thest time he had learned of her capability, he didn’t dare offend her.


    “Miss Harper, it’s been some time,” he said warmly.


    Brenna observed that, despite the recent loss of his wife, Denis didn’t seem sad at all. He even looked more confident.


    “I heard your business is booming, especially with those new partnerships you’ve secured.” Standing in the hallway, Brenna engaged in light conversation with him.


    Denis, hands tucked in his pockets, thought her words were genuine, free of any underlying sarcasm. “Things are going alright. The Mendoza assets have been transferred to me. I’ll admit, my management skills aren’t top-tier, so I’ve hired some seasoned professionals to run thepanies. It’s freed up my schedule quite a bit.”


    Ellie slipped into the private room to wait for Brenna.


    “Congrattions! Your efforts are clearly paying off,” Brenna said.


    Denis seized the moment to propose a partnership. “I hear you’re working on a robotics project. I own a tech firm with strong global standing and top-notch capabilities. Any chance you would consider partnering with me, Miss Harper?”


    Brenna didn’t dismiss the idea outright. With a nod, she said, “Let’s talk more when we kick off production.”<fna7be> Content originallyes from find?novel</fna7be>


    Encouraged by her openness, Denis stepped closer and lowered his voice, rying a recent conversation with Rosie to her.
