Chapter 1080:

    Meanwhile, Maxley, still waiting in the car, grew visibly impatient. The day’s business had soured his mood, and Dalton’s refusal to perform in Plieca left him even more irritable. He signaled the driver, who gave a soft honk to press Rosie to hurry up.

    Rosie nced back at Maxley and had to tell Elsa, “Let’s chat another time, Mrs. Mitchell. I just remembered I have some matters to deal with. I have to leave now.”

    “Let’s catch up another time, then,” Elsa replied with a hint of regret. Rosie really was the ideal daughter-inw she’d always envisioned; if only things had turned out differently.

    After Giselle and Brenna came back home, Dalton was still stretched out on the living room sofa, on a phone call with his agent.

    “Just handle it how you see fit. If it doesn’t benefit us, we’re not getting involved.” With that, Dalton ended the call, looking quite pleased.

    He turned to Brenna and Giselle. “I just gave Rosie a piece of my mind. She started in on herints about how tough things are with the Plieca royals, how much her husband needs support, and how Maxley will never be the king in Plieca unless I support him. As if it’s somehow all up to me. Ridiculous. She even dangled a few empty promises, saying once Maxley bes the king, our family would get every good project, and she wanted me to serve as their country’s ambassador.”

    He rolled his eyes. “Does she really think I’m so easy to fool? Do she and Maxley expect me to fall for that? When I turned them down, they kept pestering me to change my mind, so I told them to talk to my agent.”

    Brenna shook her head, unable to hide her annoyance. “If they’re hoping for help, you’d think they would show some respect to you. But what kind of attitude is that? They want us to help Maxley chase the crown, but they won’t even ask nicely and act like we should be grateful for the chance to help. It’s absurd.”

    Giselle nodded in agreement. “Exactly. That’s why your father and Ernst don’t waste time on her. They just ignore herpletely. You probably haven’t heard — Rosie showed up at Harper Group with Maxley, talking big about these huge projects she had lined up for thepany. Your father and Ernst thought she was being genuine, but it turned out she just wanted thepany to invest thirty billion for a lousy return. After that, your father and Ernst told everyone at thepany not to work with Rosie or Maxley again. I have no idea how she managed to talk a few shareholders into signing those small deals.”

    Dalton said, “I don’t think Rosie and Maxley have anything real going on. Most likely, they’re pushing worthless projects just to scam investors and collect political backing. Rosie’s always been cunning, ever since we were kids. She tried to convince me that by doing a concert in Plieca, I could pick up a huge fan base and crack the Akira market, said I’d have both fame and money. I couldn’t be bothered to deal with her, so I let my agent handle the matter.”

    Giselle sneered, “What so-called clever ideas could she possibly have? She’s always scheming against us. Don’t agree to hold the concert. Let your agent refuse her outright. It’s not like our family needs the money.”

    Brenna sat up straighter. “We should just steer clear of her from now on. She is always up to no good.”

    The next day, Brenna headed to work, still apanied by her bodyguard.

    All day, she didn’t catch a glimpse of Ethan. Lorna made a special trip up to the ny-ninth floor to check, only to report that Ethan hadn’t shown up at the office today. He was probably out talking business with Waldo.

    And he had brought Gracie along.

    Hearing that left Brenna displeased. As long as Gracie worked at the Mitchell Group, she would have to interact with Ethan from time to time. There was no way Brenna could stop all contact between the two.
