?Chapter 1579:


    Brenna looked at the bottles briefly before taking them with a nod. “I actually like these scents.”


    A sigh of relief escaped Sandra, and after a light exchange of pleasantries, she made her exit.


    Brenna nonchntly stowed the perfumes away in a drawer. They were from high-end brands, no doubt, yet they did not quite match her personal taste.


    The following morning, she headed to the office as usual, with Ethan driving her. Her own car, chauffeured by a pair of security guards, trailed closely behind.


    On the way, Ethan’s phone buzzed to life. He fished it out from his coat pocket, checked it, and saw that it was Gracie calling.


    Gracie’s matter had slipped his mind entirely.


    He switched the call to speaker mode, ensuring Brenna could catch every detail.


    Gracie’s voice came through the line, thick with tears and desperation. “Ethan, it’s been three days—Waldo still hasn’t called me. But his daughter? She won’t stop. She’s rung me over and over, demanding to know if I’ve left for good and even threatening to toss my clothes out. Ethan, you have to help me. I don’t care if I divorce Waldo, but I’m not giving my shares or my money to them.”


    Brenna absorbed the conversation fully, casting Ethan a re of contempt. She had no patience for this drama.


    Ethan had anticipated Brenna’s irritation, which was precisely his motive for broadcasting the call. He intended to turn Gracie down on the spot.


    “Gracie,” he replied evenly, “I’ve had it checked out. Those shares are registered under your name. If cashing in is your goal, simply sell them. It’s easy, so I don’t…”


    “…need to help you with that. Regarding your split from Waldo, a legal expert is the way to go. Shall I connect you with one?”


    “No, Ethan, that’s not the point,” Gracie said. “Waldo is avaricious and utterly brazen. He won’t allow me to sell my shares, iming it would disrupt the Chapman Group’s operations and send the stocks plummeting. He would rather I hold onto them and just collect the payouts. I want a clean break from him, but going against him on my own is impossible. That’s why I asked for your help.”


    Her weeping was heart-wrenching.

    Ethan stole a peek at Brenna, whose face betrayed clear exasperation; she was clearly fed up with Gracie clinging to him.


    “I’m at a loss here,” Ethan stated. “What can I do to Waldo? Moreover, the Mitchell Group and the Chapman Group are knee-deep in joint ventures. I can’t go against him. But I’ll get someone else to assist you.”


    Gracie was no fool; she grasped the reasoning perfectly, but she just wanted to cling to Ethan.


    She kept crying.
