When she found out it was five years ago, she claimed the stushould belong to the Barrett family since you were still underage at that time. She argued that legally, all your assets from before you were an adult would be the Barrett family's. I argued with her, and her audacity was astounding. She even asked about our yearly incand your personal savings." Brenna laughed derisively. "Savings? What savings? Any savings I might have had already went to the Barrett family. She knows this very well but pretends otherwise. If I don't set her straight, she'll think I am easy to push around." Tommy's expression grew stern. "People like her don't deserve any respect. To be honest, I think you've been too lenient with the Barrett Group." Brenna nodded and called Thiago. "I don't want the Barrett Group to be around any longer." On the other end of the line, Thiago's voice was calm. "Don't worry. In a week, the Barrett Group will be gone from Shirie." After a pause, he added, "By the way, you've been invited to the International Economic Forum in Cliffdell. The event is in three months. Will you attend?" A smile broke across Brenna's face. “Absolutely. I missed out last time, and this is a wonderful chance; I won't miss it." After ending the call, Brenna gathered her belongings and left the office.

Ellie was furious. "Absolutely not! The Russell family is nothing but trouble, and I won't becpart of it. You wouldn't believe how furious I am. Can you imagine?
"I've ended up with a son who sides with outsiders! Jayceon took Patrick out today, and he bought sEdon m clothes for me. I don't know what he told Patrick, but when they got back, Patrick insisted I wear this and draggedhere to dinner."
Brenna raised an eyebrow. "And you actually went along with it?" Her incredulous look said it all. She Was well aware that Ellie was not one to be easily swayed, not even by her own son. Yet, she had relented this time. Brenna looked at Ellie in shock, eager to understand what had led her to do this.
