Chapter 1150:
“Exactly. Rosie has sent her people to Lila’s place, and they’re making a scene in the neighborhood, calling her a homewrecker. Lila just got there, and now they’re beating her, trying to force her to sign the property over. Her son and mother are caught up in it too, both getting roughed up. Rosie’s people threatened to kill them all if Lila didn’t give up the house. It’s a real mess.”
“No wonder Alec seemed so happy today. Thank you for keeping an eye on things. Stay alert and let me know if there’s any change.”
With that, Brenna ended the call, glancing coldly at Rosie in the distance with a slight smile.
This woman was a master manipulator. What did she stand to gain from planting Alec at the Mitchell Group?
As a security guard, how much useful intel could Alec actually gather? Still, Brenna believed this was important. She immediately texted Ethan about it.
As Brenna and Ellie left the restaurant after the meal, they spotted Isabella lingering near the curb, looking completely out of place in the bustling street. Fresh chapters posted on find~novel~net
“Miss Harper!” Isabella darted forward to block their path, her eyes red and swollen from crying. “Miss Harper, I need your help. I am desperate now.”
She still nursed a grudge against Rosie’s indifference. After everything she’d done for Rosie, Isabella knew plenty of her secrets—information she figured might be useful to Brenna. So, she had waited here for Brenna.
Even though Rosie refused to work with her, she believed someone else would. She refused to believe she could not find a new ally with her intelligence. Besides, Brenna stood above Rosie in both influence and power.
If Brenna gave her a chance, Isabella felt sure she could rebuild her life.
Brenna studied Isabella briefly and quickly formed a plan.
“Call a taxi and follow my car,” she said quietly, not wanting Rosie to see Isabella talking to her.
A glimmer of hope returned to Isabella’s face. “Thank you, Miss Harper! I have plenty to share about Rosie!”
Brenna hesitated for a second, seeing just how eager Isabella was to turn on her old boss. It struck her—this woman was willing to betray anyone for her own benefit.
Brenna had Greg drive just far enough to lose any followers before stopping at a cozy coffee shop.

While Greg waited in the car, Brenna and Ellie slipped inside and chose a quiet table. It wasn’t long before Isabella arrived by taxi, generously tipping the driver before joining them.
She slid into the seat across from them, her smile eager. “Miss Harper, I have plenty to say about Rosie. She’s been plotting against you and the Harper Group for some time. I can answer any question you have.”
Brenna didn’t jump straight to the point. Instead, her lips curved with a mysterious smile as she asked, “You two used to be close. Why betray her now?” The question seemed to strike a nerve. Isabella looked at the empty table in front of her, hesitating to speak.
Noticing that, Ellie broke the silence, her tone icy. “We already ordered you a cup of coffee and some desserts. You may as well start talking.”
A laugh escaped Isabella. “You two are good people—nothing like Rosie. She was always so cold and manipulative. When my family and I were left with nowhere to go, my father wouldn’t take us in. Rosie offered us a place, and at first, we were grateful.”
