NovelOnlineChapter 1300:
Yet, Ruby stayed. By the afternoon, she'd settled his medical bills, cleared the hospital charges, and arranged for
him to be taken home.
Isabella didn’t visit Alec in the hospital, but she secretly checked on him every day, taking photos and sending
them to Brenna.
When Brenna saw the latest set of photos, a smirk tugged at her lips. Alec had gone to that bar intending to deal
with Mack, and now here he was, broken and humiliated. Every ounce of her effort felt worth it.
Just then, another message from Isabella lit up her phone, this one showing Ruby wheeling Alec into his own
house.
“Well done,” Brenna replied.
Then, she transferred twenty thousand to Isabella.
Soft knocks sounded at the door before Lorna stepped in, carrying a platter of neatly arranged fruits. She set it
down on Brenna’s desk and said, “Ms. Harper, those photos of Gracie are all over the company chat now. The

The news brightened Brenna’s mood even more. “Has Gracie shown up for work today?”
“No,” Lorna replied with a shake of her head. “Alani says Gracie is taking a full week off and won't be back until
next Monday. But I've heard Waldo’s project ran into trouble, so she might cin sooner to fix it.”
“Alright. Tellthe second she comes to the company,” Brenna instructed. Lorna left the office, and Brenna’s
phone buzzed almost immediately. Darwin’s nappeared on the screen.
“Got ttonight? Let's get dinner,” Darwin said once Brenna picked up. He'd long since stopped pursuing her
and treated her more like a trusted friend now. Brenna valued Darwin's presence. He was thoughtful, knew when
to push and when to pull.

Back, and, best of all, his network gave him access to information she could never get on her own.
“Alright, you choose the place,” she agreed.
The moment the call with Darwin ended, Brenna’s phone lit up once more, and to her surprise, Alec's name
appeared on the screen.
She didn’t want to answer the call. Old memories rushed back—nights spent hunched over sketches, the sharp
sting of Alec’s punishments, the hunger when he’d deliberately kept food from her. Those moments were etched
too deeply to fade.
Now, she believed that every ounce of misery Alec was enduring was karma.
Ruby had taken Alec back to the house, setting him up in the guest bedroom that once belonged to Mack, while
Ruby made herself comfortable in the master bedroom.
When Ruby cback from the supermarket and finished putting away the groceries, she decided to check in
on him.
Only his good hand was in use, clutching his phone like it was his last lifeline, his eyes locked on the glowing
screen.
Ruby crossed the room in quick strides, snatched the phone from his grip, and noticed he had been trying to call
Brenna. A dry laugh escaped her, sharp and mocking. Instead of hanging up the call, she just tossed the phone
back into his hand. “So this is your grand plan? You're hoping that Brenna will help you?” she mocked.
