RedNovelChapter 631: After a brief moment of thought, Ethan replied coolly, "No. Let Milton handle it. Whatever shares they are offering, we will buy them all." Just then, Rex stepped into the office carrying a set of documents in hand. He was expecting to be scolded over Minna's earlier intrusion. He said, "Mr. Mitchell, these documents are ready for your signature." Ethan took the documents, gave them a quick once-over, signed them without saying a word, and didn't bring up Minna at all. In his view, while Rex carried a bit of the blame, the matter was something that had been beyond his control.

Suddenly, a voice Ethan knew all too well echoed from the door. “Ethan." Ethan glanced up from his papers and saw Elsa striding in, pulling Minna along with her.
A flicker of irritation flashed in Ethan's eyes. He was far from pleased with Elsa's meddling, but she was his mother. He couldn't throw her out, no matter how much he wanted to. Swallowing his frustration, he rose from his seat and said, "Mom, what brings you here?" Elsa responded with a sharp snort and made a beeline for the sofa. She sat down and said, her voice full of accusation, "Why on earth won't you let Minna join the secretarial department?" Observing from the side, Rex felt a surge of sympathy for Ethan and an increasing sense of dislike toward Minna. Since she couldn't get her way, she had shamelessly dragged Elsa into the matter.
Silently, Rex left the office. He then instructed one of the secretaries to bring coffee for Elsa.

She said, "You've been so stubborn since you were a child. Why do you think I'm doing this? It's for your own good! Brenna's too headstrong. She's not right for you. You're successful now. You don't need a woman chasing her own ambitions. You need someone who'll stay home, support you, and take care of you and your children. Not someone like Brenna, who only cares about her career. Do you understand?" Ethan clenched his fists at his sides, forcing down the anger boiling inside him. Then, he said, "Dad's a Commander, isn't he? Did he ever force you to stay home? Didn't he always stand by you, no matter what you wanted to do?" Ethan had had enough of Elsa's meddling and raised his voice at her. "You're not doing this for me. You're doing this for yourself!" He then pointed at Minna, his tone unyielding. "Unless she joins the secretarial department through interviews, I will never let her work here." He believed there was no point wasting any more breath on Elsa. He knew her too well. Without missing a beat, he added, "Since she was hired by the sales department, let her report there."
Elsa ignored his stance and stood her ground. "I'll ask you one last time! Will you agree to this or not?"
"No!" Ethan answered without a second m Em content is on chapter there! Read the latest
Furious, Elsa shot to her feet and jabbed a finger at him. "Fine! If you won't agree, then I'm not leaving! I'll camp out in your office if I have to! I'll live here until you change your mind!"
