StartNovelChapter 1324:
Elsa raised a brow, caught off guard by Gracie’s gesture. “Why'd you take it?”
Gracie didn’t bother to reply to Elsa. She no longer had an ounce of regard for her. That woman had only treated
her kindly when she believed she was still backed by the Wilson Group. But the second Elsa learned about the
bankruptcy and the mountain of debt, she dropped the mask.
Elsa had never truly cared for her. Knowing that made everything easy for Gracie—there was no point wasting
ton someone like Elsa.
Without offering so much as a glance at Elsa, Gracie headed for the door.
Near the doorway, Sonia looked puzzled when she saw Gracie. “You?”
Gracie met her eyes with calm resolve. “Give it a few days. I'll be back.” She let her gaze drift toward the
conference room. Ethan still hadn't stepped out.
Whatever feelings she had once held for him had withered. Why keep caring for someone so cold?
Gracie didn’t want to play the lovesick fool anymore. She had learned her lesson. She wouldn't sit around waiting
to be discarded. Her goal now was power—enough power to command respect from any man, Ethan included.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMoments later, Ethan cback from the meeting and noticed Elsa sitting alone. He turned to Alani. “Didn’t
Gracie chere to submit her resignation?”
Alani nodded. “She did. But she left shortly after.”
Elsa spoke without much interest. “She dropped a letter on your desk, then returned and took it back. No idea
what gshe’s playing.”
Elsa’s opinion of Gracie had plummeted. “You shouldn't keep a woman like her around, Ethan. She is the type
who wrecks families and has no shame. She’s bad news—for your image and your business.”
Irritation flickered across Ethan's face. “Mom, stay out of my company affairs. | know what I'm doing. Why did
you cto see me?”

Elsa let out a short huff. “I chere because of your brother. He's been ignoring my calls ever since he got out
of the hospital. Maybe | crossed a line back then, but I'm still his mother. Shouldn't he stop holding grudges
againstby now?”
Ethan kept flipping through a stack of documents Neville had sent over. He picked up a pen and signed each one
without pause.
Elsa grew more frustrated as her son stayed focused on his paperwork instead of her. “Are you even paying
attention? You're all | have left. If you don’t care about me, then who will? Put those files aside and listen to me.”
Ethan didn’t look up. He kept signing. “I'm listening. Say what you need to say.” Knowing he was swamped, Elsa
tried to keep her voice calm. “Call your brother. | need to know how he’s doing. | want to know if he needsto
look after him.”
“He's fine without you. We talked recently. He started a new job a couple of months ago. And his wife has
changed her job,” said Ethan, placing the signed pages aside and taking a sip of water.
Elsa stepped closer. “Call him right now. | need to hear it from him, not from you.”
Ethan pulled out his phone and dialed Kenny's number. But the call didn’t go through; Kenny's phone was out of
service.
“He might be on the plane. He's doing well. You don’t need to worry about him,” Ethan said.
Tears slipped down Elsa’s cheeks. Her voice trembled as the emotion broke through. “What does your brother
want from me? Fine, | shouldn't have pushed Rosanna that day. | admit it. But I'm still his mother. Isn't that worth
something? It has been a long time. Why won't he forgive me? Am | supposed to fall on my knees and
apologize?”
