NovelEnglishChapter 1232:
She didn’t hesitate. “There’s no opening that fits him here. He should consider other options and lower his
standards.”
Frustration bubbled up in Alec’s tone. “I just don’t get it. You grew up as part of the Barrett family, yet you refuse
to help your brother get a job. Why—"
The moment Brenna shot him a chilling look, he stopped talking.
After a while, unable to let the matter go, he muttered, “Is the Harper family behind this? That's the only reason |
can see for Mack being turned away everywhere.”
Brenna said calmly, “Suppose they did interfere. What difference would it make? I've already let you be a
security guard here. That is generous enough. I still remember exactly how Mack treatedwhen | lived with
the Barrett family.”
Alec glared at Brenna, but no words escaped him. Brenna was no longer someone he could bully at will.
She was too powerful now; she could easily ruin him.

His aging body would not survive a beating.
From what he knew of Brenna, she would not hesitate to do that to him.
Left with no choice, Alec left.
Brenna called Lorna in and told her to order Joann’s favorite dishes. When lunchtcame, she made her way to
the hospital with the food.
Stepping out of the elevator, Brenna spotted Gia stationed outside the ward, a frown etched across her face.
“What are you doing out here, Gia?” asked Brenna, a note of concern in her voice. “Is something going on?”

Gia replied, “Mr. Barrett toldto wait outside. He wanted a word with your grandmother in private. That never
leads to anything good. | think he’s planning something against you, Brenna.”
Brenna listened to the conversation inside from the doorway.
Alec said, “Mom, Brenna has always done as you asked. Why not persuade her for me? These days, Isabella and
| are the only ones bringing in money, and our expenses are piling up. Isabella just started her job and won't see
her first paycheck until next month. My salary can’t stretch to cover everything. Just ask Brenna for a million
dollars. That's barely anything to her since she’s so rich. Even a sliver of her fortune could keep us afloat all
year.”
Without a word, Joann turned away and stared out the window, refusing to answer.
Baffled by her attitude, Alec continued, “Mom, I'm your son; | am breaking my back to keep everyone fed in the
family. Don’t you have any sympathy for me? Can't you just helpout for once?”
Finally, Joann faced him, her voice sharp. “If you want her money, ask her yourself. | won't do it. You've been
taking advantage of her for years. Have you no shame?”
Alec’s frustration bubbled over. “Mom, how can you say that to your own son? Everything I do is for the family. If
I had more money, wouldn't you live in comfort too?”
Brenna rolled her eyes. It wasn’t like she didn’t have money; she just didn’t want to give any to Alec. She was
certain Alec had joined the Mitchell Group with ulterior motives, not out of concern for her.
She wasn't so foolish as to fall for his schemes.
