Chapter 1216:
Brenna stopped in her tracks, eyebrows raised in disbelief. “They're looking for me?”
Alec’s nod was grim. “That's right. | double-checked with Mr. Mitchell. Gracie accused you of leaking that nude
photo of her. She wants you arrested. Just leave before they spot you.”
Brenna remained composed. “I am innocent. | have nothing to fear from the police.”
She strode toward the elevator, determined to get to the bottom of this.
At the front desk, a couple of receptionists exchanged worried glances before one of them stepped forward to
stop her. “Ms. Harper, you should not go there. Miss Wilson is with the officers right now, demanding your
arrest.”
Brenna offered a steady nod. “Unless they have solid proof, they can’t touch me.” Unfazed, she pressed the
elevator button and stepped inside.
Meanwhile, Alec dialed Ethan in a rush. “Mr. Mitchell, Brenna’s on her way up. Please convince her to leave.

Ethan replied, “I'm in her office now. Don’t worry; I'll take care of it.”
Even after ending the call, Alec couldn't shake his nerves. He had a strong hunch Rosie was involved in this.

“Ms. Harper?” the female officer asked in a measured tone. “We'd like you to answer a few questions about an
ongoing case.”
She made no move to arrest Brenna despite having the evidence that Gracie had submitted.
Without protest, Brenna agreed and followed the officer to her office. Inside, three officers were already
examining Brenna’s computer, scanning files and logs.
Brenna took a seat on the sofa, watching quietly as they worked.

“Officer, search her phone for any contact with Terry!” she demanded.
Unshaken, Brenna flashed a faint, cold smile.
