?Chapter 1509:


    Ethan interjected, his tone firm, “It’s a solid project, but Brenna would rather coborate with me than you.”


    Brenna knew Jordy’spany was thriving. His investments often yielded impressive returns, and his firm had grown significantly stronger.


    Yet her personal dislike for Jordy made any partnership unappealing.


    Jordy, aware of her aversion and past failed attempts at coboration, refused to let Ethan derail him this time.


    “Miss Harper, Mr. Mitchell may have influence, but let’s keep this professional. Personal ties canplicate business. You and Ethan are close now, but what happens if things sour between you two? A project like this demands clear boundaries. Partner with me, and we’ll keep it strictly business, with every detail ironed out.”


    Brenna had to admit Jordy had a point.


    Even her parents, steadfast as they were, had their disputes. Could she and Ethan truly avoid problems in their rtionship? She doubted it.


    “Fine,” Brenna said. “Come to my office tomorrow. We’ll discuss the specifics.”


    Jordy’s face lit up, and he shot a triumphant nce at Ethan.


    Sandra seized the moment. “Brenna, I’ve got some savings. Can I invest in this project?”


    Brenna kept herposure as she answered, “Of course, but don’t forget that investments always carry risks. Think carefully before youmit.”


    Sandra’s hesitation caught Jordy’s eye, and he urged her on. “This deal can’t fail. You’ll definitely profit!”


    With a narrowing gaze, Brenna warned him, “There’s no such thing as a risk-free investment. Choose your words wisely. If she ends up losing, will you take responsibility for her losses?”


    Jordy let out augh. “Brenna, don’t be so harsh. This is our venture. With your expertise, no one can rival what we’ve built. It’s guaranteed to seed. How could it not make money?”

    Sandra grew more confident after hearing his words.


    However, Ethan sulked. Brenna had chosen to partner with Jordy instead of him, and it stung to know she still didn’t trust him fully.


    “Mr. Barton, it’ste now. You should leave. You and Brenna can discuss the project at the office tomorrow,” he said.


    Jordy blinked in surprise. “That’s rather cold, isn’t it? I can already smell the food from here. You’re really sending me away now? I’ve known Brenna for years, and we are about to coborate on a project. Having one meal together isn’t too much to ask, is it?”


    “It is inappropriate. You and Brenna are strictly business partners. Coming into her home uninvited and now insisting on having a meal with her is crossing the line,” Ethan said as he rose to his feet, signaling firmly that Jordy should leave.
