WantNovelChapter 1172:
“You may have the flowers,” she said to Julia. “They'll only clutter up my space.” The shopping bag drew Julia's
attention next.
“And what about this?” Brenna said, “You can also have it.”
Years spent in service to the Harper family had taught Julia to recognize luxury. One look told her the skincare
items in the bag cost as much as her annual salary.
Gratitude spilled from Julia's lips. “Thank you so much, Miss Harper.”
Brenna retreated to her room, took a long shower, and then dialed Ethan for a video call to share what she had
uncovered.
Rather than being impressed, Ethan looked displeased. “Id rather you didn’t see Darwin again. It makes me
jealous.”
Brenna rolled her eyes. “I'm just dating you, Ethan. That doesn’t mean | have to cut off the rest of the world.”
Ethan still felt upset. “He’s not just anyone. He is a potential suitor introduced by your mom. Knowing you spend
twith him makesunhappy.”
“He's useful,” Brenna replied, her voice turning cold.
Ethan found her attitude hard to swallow. Though he bit back a retort, he still felt frustrated.
Brenna, unbothered by his brooding, finished her update and ended the call, refusing to let him dwell on the
topic.

The next afternoon after work, Brenna went to visit Joann. It had been two days since she had seen Joann, and
she was unsure if her condition had improved.
At the hospital, she opened the door to find Ruby and Mack seated at Joann’s bedside, with Gia quietly tending to
things nearby.
A frown shadowed Joann'’s face, her mood written plainly for all to see.
Warmth colored Ruby's greeting as she accepted the fruit and supplements from Brenna. “You are here, Brenna!
Joann was just talking about you, saying you are a wonderful person.”
One look was all Brenna gave Ruby. Years spent in the Barrett household had left her used to Ruby's sharp
tongue and endless criticisms. Even after Brenna moved back to the Harper family, Ruby still carried herself as if
Brenna owed her.
Politeness from Ruby was rare, so Brenna'’s lips quirked up slightly in curiosity. She wondered what Ruby was up
to this time.

“How have you been feeling these last two days?”

Meanwhile, Mack’s attention never strayed from Brenna.
Scars still marred his face, giving him a pitiful look. Yet, he stared at Brenna with a mixture of resentment and
bitterness.
Once Brenna’s chat with Joann
ended, Ruby seized the chance to
say, “Brenna, how yen have

to give him a job, but hitting him? We
