NovelEnglishChapter 1286:
Brenna, in turn, sent the full batch of Thiago’s messages over to Braeden.
Later, as noon approached and Brenna was about to grab lunch, she opened her office door to find two people
standing outside. Both looked professional enough to pass as new hires in the company.
One was a woman with cropped hair and dark sunglasses. The other was a tall man—easily over six feet—with
the kind of face that melted into a crowd.
“Hi, did Braeden send you?” Brenna asked, shaking hands with them and inviting them into her office for a quiet
word.
The man spoke up first. “I'm Finley Ford.”
Next, the woman introduced herself. “I'm Libby Gill.”
Finley continued, “Mr. Foster has already positioned security at your usual spots. We handle this kind of
assignment all the time, so you can relax. No one will suspect a thing. From today, we're your family’s

“Thank you, both of you. Let's get slunch.”
Libby and Finley stuck close to Brenna as she headed out, blending in seamlessly as if they belonged to the
regular staff.
At the restaurant, while Brenna was choosing her food, Gracie appeared beside her.
“Miss Harper, happy birthday. | didn’t realize yesterday was your birthday. Sorry | missed it.”
“That's alright,” Brenna smiled, but she couldn't help but notice the gentle curve of Gracie’s belly, even though
the rest of her body looked unchanged. Was Gracie expecting a baby?
Brenna’s lips curved into a sly smile. No wonder Gracie had eased off chasing after Ethan—it seemed she had
clearly found someone else.

Choosing a seat, Brenna kept her gaze discreetly fixed on Gracie. Other than the faint curve of her belly, there
was nothing unusual about Gracie. The small bump was barely visible and could easily go unnoticed unless
someone examined her closely.
At the stable, Joe, Tommy, and Lorna were enjoying their meal. Seated beside Lorna, Brenna leaned in and
murmured, “Have you noticed? Gracie looks like she’s got a little belly.”
Lorna's eyes went wide. “So you saw it too?”
Her glance flicked toward Gracie, who was chatting with several executives at another table. They were too far
away to overhear anything.
“People have been whispering about it for over a week,” Lorna admitted. “Apparently, she’s been throwing up
almost every morning after getting to the office, and her food's been blander than usual. Everyone's starting to
suspect that she’s pregnant.”
Brenna gave a small nod. “Any clue who the father is?”
A knowing smile spread across Lorna's face. “Can't say for certain, but word is Gracie’s been spending a lot of
twith Waldo. Seven claim they saw them checking into a hotel together. Odds are, the baby’s his.”
“Interesting. The once-proud CEO of the Wilson Group caught up in a scandal like this. Who would've thought?”
Brenna mused, thinking that Gracie didn’t need to resort to this. Gracie only needed to work properly, and even
if she didn’t achieve anything, Ethan would still let her stay in the company.
Noticing Brenna's spark of interest, Lorna asked, “Should we let people know?”
“We'll wait for the right time,” Brenna replied. She figured it was only fair to give Gracie a taste of her own
medicine after all the trouble she’d caused for her.
“Got it. Leave it to me!” Lorna grinned, already confident in her ability to spread news. Her network reached
every level of the Mitchell Group.
