Chapter 687
Chapter 687:
Isabella, hovering nearby, asked nervously, “Mom, did she say yes p>
Ruby scoffed, “Of course, she agreed. I might not have treated her well, but I raised her for twenty years. If she dares brush me off again, I’ll spill everything online and show the world what a cold-hearted person she is p>
Relieved, Isabella quickly texted Denis.
Then, she said, “Thanks for helping me, Mom p>
Ruby knew her situation well. She patted Isabella’s hand softly, her face warm. “Our family’s living comfortably now, all because of Denis. He has given us so much, so it’s only right we do a few favors for him. If we just take without giving, he’ll get displeased. I won’t let you be in a bind, dear. And Mack—he’s a deputy VP at the Wagner Group now, thanks to Denis’s promotion. We owe Denis a lot p>
Isabella smiled and nodded. “You’re right, Mom. I didn’t get to rub it in Brenna’s face today, but tonight, I’ll make sure she knows that we’re thriving without the Harper family’s help. We don’t need her p>
Ruby quickly disagreed, saying, “No, you can’t do that. Tonight, we need to make Brenna think we’re thankful, that we genuinely want to patch things up. I’ll even say sorry for the past. We need to help Denis lock in this deal first p>
Isabella nodded eagerly. “You’re so smart, Mom. We’ll do it your way. Denis said if I can get Brenna to agree to the deal, he’ll pay me this much p>
She flashed two fingers, beaming.
Ruby laughed heartily. “Perfect! For that kind of cash, I’ll make Brenna feel all the motherly love in the world. Don’t worry; I’ve got this. Tell me, do you think she’s doing well with the Harpers p>
Isabella shook her head. “Doubt it. If she was living large, why would she hustle so hard with that tiny studio of hers? The Harpers probably don’t care for her. Bet they don’t give her a dime, so she has to scrape by on her own p>
Ruby nodded thoughtfully. “Alright. Then all I need to do is show her a bit of kindness, and she’ll be sobbing with gratitude. This will be easy p>

“Exactly. I hung around Rosie for a bit, and she was always trying to sabotage Brenna. Said Brenna was just as cold with the Harpers as she had been with us—hardly…
She responds when people talk to her. With that attitude, no wonder the Harpers don’t like her p>
“That personality of hers is indeed unlikeable. Who would keep being kind to someone who gives them the brush-off? People like her get shunned wherever they go. I bet even Ethan doesn’t really care for her; he’ll probably ditch her soon p>
Ruby had recently started mingling with other rich housewives, playing cards and soaking up gossip about Brenna.
Isabella agreed completely, saying, “Totally. Who could put up with her? I heard her future mother-in-law despises her and even set Ethan up with someone new. The girl is in the secretary department at the Mitchell Group now and sees Ethan every day. She’s bound to take him away from Brenna. Who knows who will end up as Ethan’s wife in the future p>
Both Ruby and Isabella were convinced Ethan would soon break up with Brenna.
As they dished out gossip, the doorbell chimed. Isabella went to answer it.
