Chapter 1309:
Alani replied, “It’s Mr. Chapman’s wife, here about the situation with Miss Wilson. It seems the company’s collaboration with Mr. Chapman might be at risk.”
In Ethan’s office, Dorsey slammed a stack of photographs onto his desk, her face tight with anger.
“Mr. Mitchell, take a look at these,” she said sharply. “These are pictures of your company’s vice president—taken over the last five months—entering and leaving hotels with my husband. I pulled them myself from hotel surveillance footage. I never imagined a top-tier company like the Mitchell Group would stoop to such tactics to secure partnerships.”
Ethan sifted through the photos, his expression hardening. Disappointment in Gracie settled over him. Once a wealthy heiress, Gracie had now fallen so far as to trade herself just to hold onto her position in the company.
He shook his head. He also didn’t understand Dorsey. Despite her husband’s repeated infidelities, she had still chosen to stay with him.
“Mrs. Chapman, please have a seat,” he said evenly. “What do you intend to do now?” Dorsey could tell from Ethan’s calm tone that he already had a plan in mind.
“I still want our partnership to continue,” she replied. “But the project leader has to change. I don’t want to see Gracie again. If you insist on keeping her in charge of the project, our collaboration ends here.”
Ethan gave a curt nod. “Of course. Given the circumstances, Gracie can’t remain on this project. I’ll assign someone else. I assume you’ll be replacing your team as well?”
“Absolutely,” Dorsey replied firmly. “I’ll oversee the project myself. You’re a reasonable man, Mr. Mitchell…”
Thirty minutes later, Dorsey left Ethan’s office and headed to the meeting room to discuss project details with Henley.

Sonia, having caught wind of the situation, hurriedly called Gracie.
Brenna stepped into Ethan’s office, bringing up the hospital incident.
Ethan’s mood was sour. “I never imagined Gracie would do something like this. Even if her performance was lacking, I wouldn’t have fired her. But now, with this scandal and no shares left in her name, she probably won’t be able to stay in the company anymore.”
Brenna gave a dry laugh, showing no sympathy for Gracie. “She was desperate to hold onto her position. She didn’t want to be seen as just a decorative figurehead.”
Ethan nodded. “She is proud and hates being underestimated, but this… this isn’t the way to prove herself.”
Brenna said, “So, what’s your plan? With those photos circulating in the company and her past missteps, I think it’s pointless to let her stay in the company.”
“I won’t fire her,” Ethan said. “If she feels she can’t stay and chooses to resign, I’ll offer her compensation.”
He paused for a moment. “Honestly, I hope she chooses to leave. Staying would only lead to more trouble.”
Less than thirty minutes later, Gracie burst into the office, interrupting Brenna and Ethan’s discussion about the robotic dog factory.
“Ethan, why did you hand my project to Henley?” Gracie demanded, hands planted on the desk, her eyes red with disbelief and hurt.
She pressed further, her voice sharp. “Don’t forget, the Mitchell Group wouldn’t be where it is today without my father’s help. You can’t treat me like this.” Tears welled up in her eyes, and she started crying.
