?Chapter 1307:


    “Of course. I’lle pick you up tomorrow.” Brenna resolved that it was time to sit down with Ellie and Thiago for a serious discussion about the matter.


    “Okay.” Relieved, Patrick perked up, chatting happily with Brenna again.


    On Monday morning, Brenna took Patrick to school before heading to work.


    In the lobby, she crossed paths with Gracie.


    Gracie’s expression soured the moment she saw Brenna. She was supposed to be on leave, but Sonia had summoned her in—apparently, someone had been circting photos of her in the hospital, and she needed to put a stop to it.


    “Did you leak those photos?” Gracie demanded sharply once she and Brenna were in the elevator.


    “What’s that got to do with me? Don’t be absurd. Plenty of people saw you that day, and Waldo’s wife hit you. I’d say she’s furious enough to leak those photos,” Brenna gave her a sidelong nce.<fn5605> Get full chapters from </fn5605>


    That shut Gracie up. The logic wasn’t wrong—Waldo’s wife had a reputation for being ruthless, and she was entirely capable of such a move.


    Her irritation lingered, and she decided she’d bring the matter up with Ethanter to figure out how to stop the gossip.


    Later that morning, a knock sounded on Brenna’s office door before Thiago stepped in.


    He looked slightly resigned. “Ellie’s brother is asking for a job here—and for a high sry. I think he could work as my assistant, and I’d pay him out of my own earnings. Is that okay with you?”


    Brenna’s lips curved into a faint smile. “Ellie was just ranting about her brotherst night, and he’s alreadye running to you?”


    Thiago gave a nod. “Yeah, he’s been going on about how much money we make and why we can’t help him out. Last night, he invited me to dinner and poured his heart outining, crying, saying he’s struggling, and begging for my support.”


    All the magic begins at g?lnσν???s


    Brenna fixed her gaze on Thiago. “You’re not exactly the type to offer help in this kind of situation.”


    “If it were my own siblings, I wouldn’t bother. I haven’t lifted a finger for them all this time; they’ve done too many bad things to me. But Ellie’s brother? He’s different. A bit too ambitious, sure, but he’s a decent guy. With the right guidance, I think he could improve.” Thiago had a favorable view of Hank. Aside from earning less and being a touch greedy, he didn’t seem to have any serious ws.


    Thiago believed that with some help, Hank might actually make something of himself.


    He continued, “He is not like my siblings, always looking to leech off me. Hank’s got a way with words, a real charmer—”


    Brenna interjected, unable to hold back, “Yesterday, he told Patrick now that Ellie has a new baby, she will abandon him. I think he is cunning and trying to trick you into helping him.”


    Thiago scratched his head. “He at least deserves a shot, don’t you think? If he’s a lost cause, I’ll drop it. I told him this is his one chance. If he does well, I’ll back him for a promotion.”


    Brenna shrugged. “I’ve got no issue with it. He’s your responsibility. If you want to give him a chance, go for it. His sry doesn’t need toe out of your pocket—it’ll go through thepany’s standard process. We can cover it.”


    Thiago grinned. “Appreciate it. I owe you one.”


    Then, he turned to the door and called out, “Come in!”
