She believed the Barrett family remained under the Harper family’s control, with no prospect of breaking free.
Escape seemed the only way forward, and had it not been for Brenna’s request to keep an eye on Alec, she
might have already left the family.
Later, as Isabella approached the bathroom, she caught the faint murmur of Alec’s voice from within. He was
likely on a phone call.
“Alright, I'll head there tomorrow,” Alec whispered, his words cloaked in caution. Unable to discern who was on
the other end of the line or the purpose of Alec’s plans, Isabella lingered, her curiosity piqued. After a while,
Alec’s voice cagain.
“What if she sold it?”
Moments later, Alec added, “Understood, I'll get to the bottom of it.”
Once the call concluded, Isabella quietly retreated to her room, acting as if she had just stepped out when Alec

Seeing Isabella, Alec raised an eyebrow. “What tis it? Why are you still awake? You've got work tomorrow;
you should sleep early.”
“Okay,” Isabella said, her tone calm.
After stepping out of the bathroom, Isabella didn’t dare risk calling Brenna from her room. Instead, she opted to
send her a message.
The next morning, Isabella shadowed Alec, who, instead of heading to work, lingered at a café near the towering
Mitchell Group building.
Trying to stay out of sight, Isabella positioned herself at a restaurant across from the café, her eyes fixed on Alec
through the window.
Alec made several calls as the morning wore on. By noon, Gracie appeared, joining him at the café.
Their meeting was brief, barely thirty minutes, before they both departed. Isabella then went into the café,
where a male server greeted her at the entrance, slipping a small recording device into her hand.
“Thank you,” Isabella said warmly, pressing smoney into his palm before leaving with the device.
Back at the restaurant, Isabella dialed Brenna. “I've got their conversation recorded. How should I give the
recording device to you?”
“I'll send my secretary to pick it up,” Brenna replied.
“I compensated the server with a thousand for assisting in obtaining the recording,” Isabella said.
“Got it,” Brenna replied, her tone calm.
After the call, Brenna summoned Lorna to her office. “Head to Polaris Restaurant. Isabella will hand you
something there.”
She then handed Lorna a thick bundle of cash. “Give this to her.”
Lorna glanced at the stack, no less than ten thousand dollars, then took it without hesitation. “I'll go there now.”
In just over ten minutes, Brenna had the recording device in her hands.
Listening to it, Brenna uncovered that Gracie was also working for Rosie. Suddenly, Brenna understood Gracie’s
recent strange behavior; Rosie had been behind this all along.
