MainNovelChapter 1117:
Gracie glared at Brenna, suspicion twisting her thoughts: Brenna must have poisoned Ethan against her, afraid
she'd bectoo successful or overshadow her. “You never wantedto have this chance, did you?”
Unbothered, Brenna’s reply was smooth and even. “What does any of this have to do with me? You know your
own abilities. You know better than anyone whether you're suited for these projects or not.”
Arms full of paperwork, she turned and left the meeting room.
Joe was waiting for her at the door.
Ethan turned to Gracie. “The drone project requires someone reliable, with no room for error. As for Waldo, he’s
got no real intention of partnering with us; his interest lies in you. Surely, you've noticed it. If you're set on the
Waldo project, I'll let Otis hand you the files.”
Gracie knew that revulsion welled up inside her at the thought of Waldo.
“Forget the Waldo project. | don’t want it. | only want the drone project, or even those smaller financial projects
would be fine.” Gracie’s wishes were clear. In the days when she had worked at the Wilson Group, any project
she fancied was handed over to her, her father eager to see her learn. As the cherished only daughter, she had
been spoiled, surrounded by handpicked aides to back her up.
Now, without anyone to pamper her, she felt frustrated.
She stormed out, slamming the door, feeling angry with Ethan for the first time. She wanted his support in her
career, but it seemed impossible. Did Ethan think she was just a pretty face without substance?

Unwilling to accept that, she collapsed at her desk, sobbing in solitude.
Shrugging, Brenna made her indifference clear. “I didn’t push her.”
Ethan's lips curled into a faint smile. “I won't comfort her.”
That response pleased Brenna. “You know she’s just trying to prove herself, right? Why not let her take on
something big? She actually does have talent.”
As they made their way to Ethan's office, he explained his reasoning. “Gracie’s so-called achievements at the
Wilson Group? Her nwas on the paperwork, but her father’s team did all the heavy lifting. The public thinks
she’s a rising star, but | know better.”
“Before the Wilson Group went bankrupt, she would always tellabout her projects and askfor my
advice.”
Brenna nodded. “So, her accomplishments were all a facade?”

“More or less. But she does have stalent. She can handle smaller projects, but the big ones cannot be
entrusted to her,” Ethan said.
Returning to the office, Ethan and Brenna found Joe and Henley already waiting. Joe had submitted the
investment proposal, which he and Brenna had put together, to Henley for review.
