?Chapter 936:


    Monday morning came, and Brenna settled in at her office, working intently on a robot design. Thiago’s knock interrupted her concentration as he entered the room.


    “Thend’s finally cleared; let’s go and check it out,” he said, pausing as hertest design caught his eye. “You’re a real genius with this stuff, Brenna.”


    Brenna saved her work and closed the design software. “That was quick. I can’t believe the approval went through in under a week.”


    She shrugged on her coat and joined Thiago at the elevator. The moment they reached the lobby, a tall blonde woman crossed their path. Her khaki coat and self-assured manner caught Brenna’s attention.


    Their eyes met, and the woman offered Brenna a respectful smile, clear admiration in her gaze.


    Brenna smiled back, keeping it polite and friendly.


    When the woman disappeared into the elevator, Thiago leaned over and said to Brenna, “That’s Gracie.”


    From the moment Brennaid eyes on Gracie, she sensed this woman was no ordinary person. She looked capable, and there was amanding fire in her gaze that made her seem formidable.


    As Brenna spun around, the elevator door was just about to slide shut. Gracie was holding a bag in one hand, its size hinting at a load of documents inside. At that moment, Brenna realized Gracie was here to see Ethan. She quickly said to Thiago, “You can go ahead without me.”


    There was no way she would just stand by and watch another woman make a move on Ethan. She needed to guard her love.


    “Hold on!” Just then, a familiar voice rang out from behind. Brenna’s heart sank as she turned and spotted Elsa, someone she hadn’t seen in quite some time, walking into the lobby.


    Elsa walked right past Brenna, acting as if she didn’t recognize her, and quickly entered the elevator.


    Brenna stepped in after her and gave a courteous nod. “What brings you here today?”


    Earlier, Elsa had been watching videos on her phone when she stumbled upon clips of Ethan picking up Gracie at the airport. She had also seen footage of Ethan embracing Gracie, bringing her to the Imperial Bar for apany gathering, and even dropping her off at her residencete at night.


    Your escape begins with ga ln ov els .


    To Elsa, this presented an ideal chance to create conflict between Brenna and Ethan.


    She had done her homework on Gracie and discovered that she was exceptional in every way. Her background, education, and looks were all impressive. In her eyes, Gracie surpassed Brenna on all fronts. Eager to make the most of the opportunity, she hade here to ask Ethan what he thought about Gracie.


    She was genuinely impressed by Gracie, and as fate would have it, she bumped into Gracie before she even got to Ethan’s office. She greeted Gracie with a warm, friendly smile.


    Noting Elsa’s polished look andposed manner, Gracie assumed she was either a senior executive or a significant client of the Mitchell Group. She returned the smile with courtesy.
