Buoyed by the support, he eagerly updated Ellie on his job. “I'm your husband's assistant now! And guess what?
The CEO, your friend, also has an assistant with a bachelor’s degree, just like me. Your husband says my pay will
match hers—eighteen thousand a month! If | do well, there will also be bonuses. Isn't that awesome? Don’t you
wantto succeed?”
Ellie rolled her eyes. “You need the talent to back that up.”
She knew her brother's limits all too well. Her real worry was that, because of her, Brenna would hesitate to fire
Hank even when she didn’t want him in her company.
The following evening, Ellie invited Brenna to a seafood restaurant for dinner.
“Brenna, I'm so sorry about my brother,” Ellie said apologetically. “He has been a troublemaker since we were
kids. Now that he is grown, he brushes off small opportunities and can’t handle the big ones. He is always
chasing sget-rich-quick scheme. Since | got back, he has been houndingdaily for a high-paying job or

Brenna gently took her hand. “It’s fine. Your brother seems sharp and works hard in my company. He is not as
bad as you make him out to be.”
Ellie, still embarrassed, assumed Brenna was just being kind.
“Don’t go easy on him because of me. If he steps out of line, fire him. | won't say a word,” she said to Brenna.
“No one is perfect starting out. If he’s willing to learn, I'll give him a shot. Don’t worry too much. He's doing
alright now,” Brenna reassured her, taking tto ease Ellie's concerns.
The following morning, Isabella was at the shop, showcasing a cutting-edge humanoid robot to a customer.
Ruby lingered near the doorway, observing that Isabella was occupied and choosing not to disturb her. She
waited patiently by the entrance until the customer departed.

After over thirty minutes, the customer finally left, and Isabella, escorting him out, only then spotted Ruby.
“Mom, what are you doing here?” Isabella asked, irritation creeping into her voice.
Dressed in pricey, stylish clothes, likely worth hundreds, and with flawless makeup, Isabella exuded confidence
and competence. Ruby looked at her with displeasure.
“You've made it big and forgotten your mom, haven't you? You don’t even visit hanymore. Your brother's
never around, either, leavingto care for your dad alone. Are you trying to exhaust me?” Ruby complained.
Isabella had long toyed with the idea of cutting ties with her family. After all, they couldn't offer her any help
now.
With Alec no longer useful to Rosie, she knew she didn’t need to keep an eye on him.
“I'm swamped with work. You handle Dad. I'll visit you when necessary,” she said coldly. “Don’t show up here
again unless it's about something important.”
Ruby grew anxious. “What is that supposed to mean? Are you embarrassed by me?”
“No, I'm not,” Isabella replied, though her discomfort was clear, especially with her colleagues watching. “If
you've got something to say, not here—it’s awkward with everyone looking.” She gently nudged Ruby away.
