Chapter 1313:
The room erupted with biting words, all aimed at Gracie.
Gracie’s ears rang under the onslaught, and she could bear it no longer. She turned to Ethan. “I am a co-founder
of this company; how can you sit there and let them tear intolike this? I'm so disappointed in you!”
“Gracie, when you ctoearlier, | suggested you take a break—" Ethan began.
Gracie broke down and interjected, “Enough! | don’t need your pity. | will resign! I'm done here!”
Sobbing, she stormed out, slamming the door behind her.
She felt the whole world had turned against her. The weight of it all crushed her.
Back in her office, she stuffed her belongings into a bag and then left the Mitchell Group building.
Just as she stepped outside, her phone buzzed.
The screen showed Rosie’s name.
“What is it?” Gracie asked, her voice quivering with raw emotion. At that moment, only Rosie seemed capable of

“Feeling low? Let's meet and talk,” Rosie replied, considering Gracie’s vulnerability as the perfect chance to
secure her investment.
Rosie had been biding her time, having spent heavily to spread Gracie’s scandalous videos through online trolls,
ensuring Gracie had no choice but to turn to her.
Dorsey had done her part well, too, broadcasting Gracie’s disgrace far and wide. Instead of heading home,
Gracie went to the restaurant Rosie had mentioned. Rosie waited in a private dining room, the table laden with
dishes and two bottles of beer.

Gracie entered the room silently, poured a glass of beer, and downed it in one.
Rosie watched patiently as Gracie gulped down three glasses before finally speaking up.
“I heard what happened,” Rosie said. “Brenna orchestrated it all. That day she saved you, she had her own
motives.”
Drunk, Gracie nodded, her words slurring. “I knew it was her. She’s always hated me. | confronted her, but she
wouldn't admit it.”
Rosie’s smile widened, pleased to see Gracie’s inebriated state, which aligned with her expectations.
“She’s a hypocrite, and she’s dangerous. Remember Judy? Brenna killed her. Since Brenna is capable of
something like that, what wouldn't she do?” Rosie sighed. “But what can we do? The Harper family backs her,
and Ethan protects her. No matter how much we hate her, she’s untouchable. Gracie, you just have to accept the
reality.”
Frustration simmered in Gracie’s voice as she cried, “Rosie, you used to have it all! The Harper family treated
you like a princess. Your parents loved you, your brothers spoiled you, and everything went your way. But ever
since Brenna entered the picture, she’s stolen your whole life and pushed you out. If you hadn't clawed your way
back lately, who knows what you'd be doing now—probably scraping by on the streets.”
In her current position, Gracie knew she was powerless to confront Brenna herself. All her hope was pinned on
Rosie as she sought to provoke her into targeting Brenna.
