NovelEnglishChapter 1206:
The elevator doors slid shut, and only then did Brenna let out her frustration. “Why bother playing nice with
Alec? He's on Rosie's side. He soldout for a bit of cash and turned onwithout a second thought.”
Ethan tightened his hold on her hand, voice steady and reassuring. “You don’t have to remindwhat kind of
person Alec is. | know all about how he treated you. The man will do anything for money. Believe me, I'm not
fooled by him.”
Alec strolled back to the security office with a spring in his step, already reaching for his phone to call Rosie and
spill every detail he'd just learned. Minutes later, his bank account chimed with a fresh twenty thousand from
Rosie.
Whistling to himself, Alec looked completely satisfied with his easy windfall.
That evening, Ethan arrived at Blaze Bar as planned. Despite being just a bar, it was upscale and private, with
the first floor serving as the public space and private rooms upstairs, offering comprehensive services.
Ethan was meeting a business partner from Norview, as the Mitchell Group had recently launched a drone

to discuss, mainly regarding pricing. Kiaan wanted a lower price.
Milton accompanied Ethan, and the two settled into a private room to talk business over drinks.
During a quick trip to the restroom, Ethan caught sight of a woman's figure just as she slipped into the ladies’
room. She looked familiar.
He muttered to himself, “Was that Gracie? Shouldn't she be at hrecovering?” The shadowy figure kept
nagging at him, but he convinced himself it might just be a lookalike.
Returning to the private room, Ethan happened to spot the swoman heading into another room. He almost
felt certain this tit was Gracie. Worried she might be wrapped up in business she shouldn’t be handling,
Ethan dialed her number.

A wide grin broke across Gracie’s face when she saw Ethan’s npop up on her phone screen. “Hey, Ethan! Is
something wrong?”
Without preamble, Ethan asked, “Where are you right now?”
A pause lingered as Gracie scrambled for an answer. “I'm... at home. Just relaxing,” she said, following Rosie's
advice to lie. She then asked, “Anything wrong?”
“Alright then. | thought | saw someone who looked like you, but | must have been mistaken,” Ethan replied. “Get
srest.”
Inside the private room, Rosie was present as well.
A furrow formed on Gracie’s brow. “What's the point of all this? Why bother letting him see a shadow if he won't
even realize I'm here? Rosie, | can’t see how this is supposed to help me.”
Rosie spun the wine glass between her fingers, an amused smirk tugging at her lips as she regarded Gracie with
thinly veiled disdain. “Must you always be so impatient? Don’t you ever wonder why | go to such lengths to
involve you in my schemes?”
Years spent as the daughter of a powerful family had taught Gracie to read beneath the surface. She suspected
that Rosie wanted to sabotage Ethan's business deal.
“Are you trying to useto sabotage Ethan’s business?” Gracie said.
