NovelEnglishChapter 1209:
Gracie stood near the door, catching Ethan's voice as it cut through the room. “If this happens one more time,
consider both your annual salary and bonus gone.”
With a downcast look, Rex answered, “Sir, Terry keeps saying he worked alone. No one told him what to do. He
claims he just couldn't tolerate Miss Wilson and thought she didn’t deserve her position. He says he did what he
thought was right.”
Without waiting, Gracie pushed open the door and interjected sharply, “He’s lying!”
Regret filled her. She should have csooner and confronted Terry the moment she heard what he had done.
Putting her trust in Ethan to resolve things had been a mistake. Ethan looked at her, a small frown on his face.
“Why are you here?”
Anger sharpened Gracie’s voice. “If | hadn’t shown up, were you just going to let this matter slide? Why did you
let Terry leave? You should have called the police on him!”
With a gesture, Ethan motioned for her to take the seat across from him, then spoke calmly. “The tech

Holding her head high, Gracie said, “No, there's no way he did it alone! | don’t even know him. Why would he
cafter me? Ethan, the only person here who's ever had a grudge againstis Brenna. Stop trying to cover
for her!”
Ethan's eyes shifted toward Neville and Rex. They had already questioned Terry earlier, and Terry had claimed
that Brenna was the one who told him what to do. But Ethan didn't believe that.
Records confirmed that Terry had indeed had contact with Brenna using his phone.
Even so, Ethan refused to believe Brenna would do something like this. He had intended to look into the matter
himself until Gracie interrupted his plans. Not wanting to accuse Brenna without solid proof, Ethan kept the
information from Gracie for the tbeing.

Neville and Rex kept quiet nearby, waiting for instructions.
Ethan asked them to step out of the room.
Then, turning back to Gracie, he said, “This is more complicated than it seems. Please givestto get
to the bottom of it.”
A heavy sigh escaped Gracie. “Are you hiding something from me? Brenna was the one who asked Terry to leak
that photo, right?”
Ethan shook his head firmly. “No, Brenna would never do something so underhanded. | need to investigate more
before drawing conclusions.”
Gracie’s disappointment grew when she heard that. “There's nothing more to say. You're protecting Brenna,
Ethan. You have no idea how much this hurts me. How can you be so biased?”
In frustration, she grabbed his arm. “Cwithnow. Let's ask Brenna face-to-face. If she’s guilty, I'll call the
police myself. | won't let her off!”
“That's enough! Do you have any proof at all that Brenna was behind the matter?” Ethan snapped.
Seeing him like this, Gracie becconvinced that he knew more than he was admitting and was trying to cover
for Brenna.
“If you refuse to do anything, I'll handle it myself!” she said, her voice rising. “Once | find evidence, there will be
nothing you can do to protect her. Just wait and see!”
With that, Gracie stormed out of the office.
