NovelTrueChapter 1163:
“Dad, you must be tired. Go wash up and eat,” Isabella said gently.
Over dinner, Isabella cautiously brought up the matter of letting Ruby and Mack stay here with them.
“Dad, have you considered the idea? You left Mom when the bankruptcy happened, and later, she refused to take
you back. Since you both hurt each other, you are now even. Isn't it tfor you to let the past go and be a
family again?”
Alec stayed silent, his expression unreadable. Still, he realized that Lila had proven to be unreliable and even
heartless. In contrast, Ruby had always been the better partner.
Now that Lila’s family had been driven out of Shirie, he doubted they would ever return.
He was getting older, and he knew that eventually, he would need someone to care for him. If he allowed his
children to move back in but continued to shut Ruby out, they would undoubtedly be unhappy about it. So, he
said nothing.
Isabella studied his expression. “I'll give Mom this address. She can move in, leave her job at the restaurant, and
take care of the house for you, doing chores and cooking meals.” Alec remained silent.

Taking his lack of objection as approval, Isabella pulled out her phone and called Ruby on the spot.
After the meal, Isabella took the initiative to wash the dishes.
Meanwhile, Alec sat in the living room, completely engrossed in his phone.
Choosing a bedroom for herself in the apartment fell to Isabella, who found herself wandering through nearly
2,000 square feet and five bedrooms. Alec had already claimed the master bedroom for himself.
Of the four remaining rooms, Isabella picked the biggest one for her mother, set aside another for herself, and
decided to let Mack choose between the last two.
Later that night, just after her shower, Isabella caught the sound of Alec’s low voice drifting from his bedroom.
Curiosity piqued, she crept toward his door and listened in.
“Miss Harper, | wanted to inform you—my daughter, ex-wife, and son are moving in with me. I've already agreed.
Isabella is in the shower as we speak. Earlier, she had an interview at Brenna’s company, and | saw her sign the
contract. Brenna'’s paying her thirty thousand a month.”
Each detail Isabella overheard fueled her frustration. She couldn’t say for certain who Miss Harper was, but since
Brenna had told her that Alec was now working for Rosie, she believed he must be talking to Rosie right now. She
was of no use to Rosie anymore, and once she lost her value, Rosie tossed her aside like garbage. Rosie was
nothing but trouble.

Eventually, Alec would end up just like her, with nothing left—not even his savings.
For all his years running a company, how could Alec be so careless? Handing Rosie every scrap of information?
Anger bubbled up inside Isabella.
