?Chapter 1252:


    After that, he continued, “Miss Harper, there’s no bad blood between us. Let’s leave the past behind. I truly hope we can coborate in the future.”


    With that, Denis left.


    Brenna lingered at the door for a moment, murmuring to herself, “She actually had the nerve to return.”


    Inside their room, Ellie and her son, Patrick, were already browsing the menu.


    Patrick pointed excitedly at one dish. “Mom, I want lobster!”


    Ellie promptly ordered the lobster.


    Flipping to the next page, Patrick spotted crabs. “I want that, too!” he eximed. The waiter said, “It’s prime season for hairy crabs. They are fresh, vorful, and a guest favorite. tes usuallye back empty.”


    “Great, let’s get six—two per person,” Ellie said before passing the menu to Brenna, who quickly ordered something as well.


    Meanwhile, in the room across the hall, Rosie stared at thevish spread of food before her, realizing it was far too much for her to finish. She scrolled through her phone contacts, hunting for two potential investors to help offset her recent financial setbacks.


    Her eyesnded on Jordy’s and Tina’s names.


    Tina had been distanttely, and Jordy’s responses were equally curt. After a recent influx of capital, Jordy’s business had skyrocketed, cementing his status among the elite. His family’s venture capital expertise gave him ess to substantial funds.

    She knew his power had grown, and she should tread carefully, but her pride, built from years of being in control, made it hard for her to yield to someone she once outranked.


    Jordy lit a cigarette, blowing a smoke ring her way. “Isn’t my attitude decent enough? Miss Harper, you are aware of your situation. If it were anyone else facing failingpanies and bankruptcy, I wouldn’t even bothering. My presence here is already a big gesture.”<fn3368> Original content can be found at Find1Novel</fn3368>
