Brenna shook his hand and replied, "We've already met. Funny enough, my ex-boyfriend broke up withbecause of her. Life does have its little twists, doesn't it?" A sly grin appeared on Hector's face as he looked over at Ethan, whose expression had grown stormy. "Truly, fate has a sense of humor. Who would've guessed my wife's affair involved your ex-boyfriend? They should go to hell for this." "I never cheated on you!" Gracie exclaimed. She fought to pull away from Hector, trying again and again, but his hold only tightened. He didn't care if she was in pain, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't escape his grip.
Ethan turned to Brenna with a harsh tone. "How do you even know this man, Brenna? The two of you seem pretty close." Suspicion crept into his mind; he wondered if Brenna might have sold Gracie out because of her resentment toward her.
Brenna, annoyed by his words, snapped, "Why should I tell you that?" Hector stepped in, saying, "Miss Harper and I have known each other for years. We've worked together on all kinds of projects back in Norview. She has always been an outstanding business partner." Looking at Brenna, he added, "I look forward to the next twe work together." Ethan was caught off guard by how close Brenna seemed to Hector. Still, he pushed the thought aside. Right now, all that mattered was keeping Gracie out of Hector's hands. He couldn't just stand by and watch her be taken away by him.
"Let her go," he said to Hector.
At first, Hector burned with rage. However, after finding out about the messy history between Brenna's ex and Gracie, he found his temper cooling.
To him, this situation had started to look more amusing than infuriating. He said, “Mr. Mitchell, you're really askingto just hand my wife over to you? Do you honestly believe I'd do that?" He then turned to Brenna and said, “Miss Harper, why don't we share a meal sometime? Right now, I have things to sort out with my wife. We'll be leaving." Without another word, he left with Gracie, his arm still on her shoulder. His bodyguards quickly blocked Ethan's path, making it clear he was not welcto follow.

Brenna shot Ethan a look. "So this is your thing now, chasing aftera m married woman? I never thought you could sink so low."
Ethan let out a sigh. "Don't say that, Brenna. I get why you're upset, but you're mistaken. I don't have any romantic feelings for Gracie. She's caught in a terrible mess mess and needs help. You know the kind of man Hector is. He's violent, and if Gracie stays with him, she'll only face more abuse. I don't love her; I only love you. To me, she's just a friend in desperate need of help. She deserves a chance to get away from this nightmare and take back the Wilson Group. Please, Brenna, don't misunderstand my intentions."
