EuropeNovelChapter 1023: Brenna felt a jolt of surprise, though after thinking for a moment, she realized that this was expected. Hector had hurt Gracie, taken over her assets, and brought harm to her father. In a way, it made sense that Gracie might want Hector dead.
Suddenly, she recalled how Hector had mentioned he had faced multiple assassination attempts recently when they had spoken yesterday. She'd dismissed it as a joke at that time, but now, she was not so sure.
What a tragedy, Brenna thought, for Gracie and Hector's relationship to reach this level of animosity.

Hector didn't care, waving his hand slightly, and his bodyguards immediately charged forward.
Alec and Brenna, along with the receptionists, were shoved aside in the commotion. The bodyguards moved roughly through the group, though they were a lot gentler when moving Brenna out of the way.
"Don't let them in!" barked the security captain, and chaos erupted throughout the lobby. The Mitchell Group's security force tried to hold their ground, but Hector's bodyguards overpowered them with ease. Within moments, Hector and his entourage had made it into the elevator. Reacting fast, a male receptionist dialed the police. Two female receptionists rushed to Brenna's side, anxiously checking on her, asking if she was alright.
"I'm all right. Hurry and call the police. Those people mean trouble. Gracie is close to your boss. You should warn her somehow. If Hector finds her, it won't end well for her," said Brenna, feigning a look of concern.
"But we don't have her contact information. How can we reach her to warn her about this?" one of the receptionists said, clearly worried.
Brenna offered a solution. "Call your boss. He definitely has Gracie's number." She wondered how Ethan would handle such a situation.
"You are right; I'll call Mr. Mitchell right now. Thank you, Ms. Harper," the receptionist replied, quickly pulling out her phone to contact Neville.
Not waiting around, Brenna left the building.

Brenna acknowledged his sensible words. “Alright, I understand.” Without another word, she got into her car. As her bodyguard drove, she reached for her phone and dialed Hector's number.
Hector ended the call, then pressed the button for the ninety-ninth floor.
Inside her office, Gracie lingered near the giant window, watching the city of Shirie under the afternoon sum Restlessness filled her. She glanced at her phone again and again, hoping for a message or a call from Ethan. All afternoon, her attempts to reach Ethan had gone unanswered. Every time, his phone was turned off.
Worry gnawed at her. Maybe Ethan. had decided to abandon her. Perhaps he was done offering his help.
Her anxiety grew until her phone vibrated in her hand. Ethan was calling her. Without wasting a second, she answered the call, her voice trembling with emotion. "Ethan, you've finally called. I-"
