StartNovelChapter 1310:
Ethan met her gaze. “Gracie, Mrs. Chapman cto me, insisting on a new project leader. If | don’t agree, she is
willing to pay the penalty and end our partnership. That will be a major loss for the company.”
“I don’t care!” Gracie's voice cracked; she was teetering on the edge of a breakdown. “How am | supposed to
stay in this company after you replaced me?”
“Gracie, | think you need to take a break,” Ethan said softly, not wanting to sound too harsh considering their
past.
“What are you saying? Are you firing me?” Gracie’s eyes widened in shock. She was unaware that her photos at
the hospital had already spread through the company.
“What did | do wrong?” She assumed Ethan was in the dark about the affair.
Ethan pulled the photos from his drawer and laid them on the desk before her. “Everyone in the company knows
about your affair with Waldo. | think you should take staway.”
Gracie’s hands shook as she picked up the photos, her face paling.
She turned to Brenna. “Was this your doing?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBrenna rolled her eyes. “What does this have to do with me? Don’t you remember what Waldo’s wife said at the
hospital?”
Gracie’s mind flashed back to Dorsey’s threat to expose the affair, ensuring everyone at the Mitchell Group
would know.
She had heard it at that time, but it had slipped her mind after her surgery. Brenna’s words brought it crashing
back.
“Ethan, what should | do now?” Gracie sobbed, overwhelmed by a flood of grievance, frustration, and
resentment. She felt utterly broken and fled the room. The secretarial department was abuzz, riveted by the
unfolding .
Gracie rushed into her office, locked the door, and cried for a long time, her emotions unraveling.
Gracie thought back to everything she had done for Ethan when he had founded the company. She had given
him financial support, opened doors to resources, and introduced him to valuable connections. She had done
everything she could to help him succeed.
In her mind, such devotion should have secured his loyalty for life. She believed he would always protect her.
But she had never imagined that things would cto this. Now, he was willing to turn his back on her.
He was truly heartless!
It felt as though something had ripped Gracie’s heart apart. She felt like she had been abandoned by the whole
world.
She could not deny that Ethan had once rescued her from Hector’s grasp. He had given her shares, a place to
live, and the means to ensure she would never have to worry about money again.
But what did that amount to?
Weren't those only small returns for all she had done for him? His help was nothing compared to the sacrifices
she had made for him.
Ethan was ungrateful. She wished she had never lifted a hand to help him.
Gracie felt deeply hurt and regretful.
Another question gnawed at her. Why did misfortune always seem to find her? Why had Brenna cout
unscathed easily with everything?
Just then, a knock sounded at the door. Gracie quickly dabbed her tears with a tissue, then turned toward the
window, feigning interest in the view outside. After a brief pause, she said, “Cin.”
