MainNovelChapter 1340:
Ruby fell to the floor, stunned, unable to get up right away. Once every cent had landed in his account, Mack
tossed her phone onto the floor.
Ruby grabbed it with trembling hands and checked her balance, her heart dropping at the sight of just a few
dollars left.
“You're a monster...”
Alec dragged himself out of the bedroom, catching only a glimpse of Mack's back as he left.
The sight of Alec sent Ruby into a frenzy. She snatched a clothes hanger and swung it at him in rage.
“This is your fault! We're broke because of you! We'll be lucky if we have crumbs to eat now. | still have to look
after you. Why did | have to get stuck with a useless man like you? You've ruined everything...”
She lashed out harder and harder, unleashing all her pent-up bitterness on Alec. Meanwhile, Brenna sat at the
dining table, looking at the photos Isabella had sent. Her expression grew cold.
“You deserve every bit of this. Your real punishment hasn't even begun,” she muttered.
Just then, the front door opened, and Giselle stepped in, arms full of shopping bags. She immediately noticed the

Brenna put her phone away and reached for the bags Giselle brought in. Inside, she found a wool coat, two
brand-new designer purses, a luxury skincare set, fresh shoes, and strendy clothes Giselle had picked up for
her.
“Pick whichever handbag you like, and set the other aside for Lilith. Drop it off for her tomorrow and say it's from
you. It’s important to keep things warm between you two. Your brother's getting married to her soon, so we
should treat her well,” Giselle said, washing her hands before settling in at the table.

“Alright,” Brenna replied. “I'll handle it tomorrow.”
Giselle said, “If you eat out with her, the bill's on you. Don’t let Lilith pay for anything, got it? After lunch, take
her shopping, and get her whatever she wants.” She pulled
Out her phone, Giselle wired Brenna ten million on the spot. “Don’t hold back.”
Brenna laughed. “Mom, I'm not short on money. You don’t need to transfermore.”
But Giselle just shook her head. “Younger folks spend more, so save what's yours. My money is meant for you to
enjoy. I've already set aside my pension. Besides, | heard you're opening an animation studio. That must need a
lot of money, right? If you need more funds, just ask your dad; don’t be shy about it. And if you are too shy, I'll
ask him for you.”
“I really do have enough money, Mom. Why are you always worried I'm broke? Sure, | don’t own many
companies, but mine are all profitable,” Brenna said, still smiling.
Giselle gave Brenna a look. “It’s important for young people to be financially secure. Use your money when you
need it. Just look at the family shares. Your grandma already handed a lot to Rosie. Our family’s got more money
than we could ever spend. If you just hoard it, one day, it'll end up belonging to someone else.”
“It’s not a guarantee that the shares will stay with Rosie,” Brenna said.
Shepard slipped into the room just as the conversation unfolded, flashing Giselle a mysterious smile. “Our
family’s shares aren’t handed out lightly. Rosie’s schemed against us tand again—why would we simply give
her what she wants?”
His face darkened briefly. A few days ago, Brenna had shared stroubling news with him, but he and Ernst
had kept it from Giselle to spare her worry. Instead, they had quietly arranged for someone to protect her
discreetly.
