NovelTrueChapter 1155:
As Isabella poured out her frustrations, Alec felt something tighten in his chest. A silent warning went off in his
mind. Rosie wasn’t someone to trust. If he ever stopped being useful to her, he might end up just like Isabella.
It was best to keep his guard up.
“Con up. Brenna’s on the 58th floor,” he said.
“Thank you, Dad. You're still the best. I'm sorry for how | treated you before. Also, Mom's withnow. She’s
making a living by washing dishes at a restaurant. Could | bring her to stay with you?”
Alec’s expression turned cold in an instant. “No. You and your brother can stay at my place, but not your
mother.”
“Dad, she’s really pitiful. If she stays, she can cook and clean for us. That might cin handy.”
“No!” Alec’s voice thundered. “You think I'm a pushover just because | let you stay in my place? Be grateful you
have a roof over your head. If you weren't my daughter, I'd leave you to fend for yourself. Let's be honest—your
mother is cold as ice, and whatever hardship comes her way, she’s earned it. When | reached out to you and
your mother for help before, what did you do? Tossedaside without a second thought. Don’t think I've
forgotten your mother’s curses, either. She calleda freeloader and toldto drop dead. Take her in? Not a

Alec glared at Isabella, his anger fueled by every bitter memory of Ruby’s cruelty.
“Then what should she do?” Isabella asked, her worry shining through. “I can’t rent a place only for her. It would
be a waste of money.”
“There's no way I'm taking her in! If money's tight, maybe you should rent a place with her instead. Don’t come
running to me,” Alec said firmly.
Disappointment flickered across Isabella’s face. Hoping to change his mind, she tried a different approach.
“Alright, if that’s how it’s going to be, I'll go stay with Mom. | won't just abandon her. Still, Dad, you're not getting
any younger, and someone should be around for you. If we all lived together, we could take care of you. Why
can’t you just let it happen?”
“I already said no!” Alec said, folding his arms. “Women like Lila and Ruby only stuck around when | was doing
well. The moment | lost everything, they turned on me. I'm done putting up with them.”
“Then you can live alone! I'm leaving.” Isabella’s words hung in the air before she stormed out, already thinking
about getting an apartment near Alec’s place just to keep tabs on him.

She waited outside for a while, but Alec didn’t follow her out. It was clear how much he hated Ruby.
Isabella was left with no choice but to head to Brenna’s office to sign the contract.
The lobby was packed, and the elevator crawled its way up. By the tIsabella reached the fifty-eighth floor,
she saw a crowd outside the manager's office, everyone waiting for a shot at an interview.
