StartNovelChapter 1323:
She eyed Gracie with suspicion, thinking she was stirring trouble deliberately because she couldn't marry Ethan.
Gracie considered deceiving Elsa, suggesting either that Ethan had gifted the shares to Brenna or that Brenna
had brazenly demanded them from him. But with Ethan expected back any minute, and Elsa perfectly capable of
confirming the truth herself, lying wasn’t an option.
“No, someone acquired the shares of the Mitchell Group fromand handed them to Brenna, making her a
shareholder in the company,” Gracie had no choice but to tell the truth, hoping it would turn Elsa against Brenna.
“Is that it? That's not a big deal. Every major company has plenty of shareholders. As long as those shares
weren't wrung out of my son, | couldn’t care less.” Elsa waved a hand, unimpressed.
Hearing that, Gracie felt a bitter tug of disappointment. There was no spark of outrage in Elsa, no sign that she
planned to reclaim those shares.
“Mrs. Mitchell, are you really comfortable letting someone outside the family hold part of the company’s
shares?” she asked, her voice sharper now.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElsa cast her a pointed glance. “As long as Ethan keeps the majority, the rest is not important. I've handled
enough business matters to know that’s not a threat.”
Feeling disappointed, Gracie reached into her bag, pulled out an envelope, and set it quietly on Ethan's desk.
“Mrs. Mitchell, I'm here to submit my resignation today. We can talk another time. I'll be leaving now.” Gracie
kept her tone respectful as she turned to leave.
Elsa muttered, “Keep your distance from my son. Your reputation’s in ruins, and it has affected my son’s
company. You should consider yourself lucky that | haven't snapped at you.”
Gracie overheard Elsa’s words as she spoke with Sonia at the door, realizing how much others despised her now.

Regret twisted in Gracie’s chest. She blamed herself for being too trusting, too soft. After all she had done for the
company, this was the thanks she got—tossed aside without a second thought.
And Waldo? He couldn't even stand up to his own wife.
What exactly made Waldo’s wife so untouchable? Was it just because she held a handful of shares?
The company was clearly under Waldo’s name, yet he acted like a frightened child in front of his wife. To Gracie,
that wasn’t a man worth respecting. All it took was one small incident, and Waldo couldn't even face her. That
alone filled her with disappointment.
In the next breath, Gracie made a choice. She would no longer be seen as someone expendable. Even without
anyone backing her, she would prove she wasn’t easy to be trifled with.
Waldo’s wife? Please. If Dorsey could carry that title, so could she, and she’d wear it with more power and
purpose.
As the thought settled, her conviction hardened. She believed someone like Dorsey didn’t deserve respect. She
was worse than her by far.
Not long after, she spun on her heel, strode back into the office, and snatched the resignation letter from Ethan's
desk. Why should she resign?
She refused to walk away like this.
She would stay in the company. And not only that, she’d make them regret underestimating her. They would be
eager to flatter her then.
