Isabella replied, “No idea. He won't tell me. Lately, he's been shopping for suits, and yesterday, I overheard him talking about heading abroad for wedding photos.

Just as she had expected, her visit to her brothers had ended with them asking her for money again. For years, her brothers' businesses had hemorrhaged money. Even with Shepard and Ernst secretly helping them, their ventures still ended in failure.
Both Shepard and Ernst had gone to great lengths to hide the truth from Giselle, knowing how much she despised her brothers' laziness and get-rich-quick schemes.
What infuriated her more was her brothers' push to secure jobs for their children within the Harper Group, a move Giselle strongly opposed. Over the past two years, she had even stopped answering their calls altogether. Had it not been for her two brothers calling Shepard, who then persuaded her that it would be better to help them financially, she would never have gone to visit her brothers again.

Giselle's eyes narrowed. "Did Alec really not ask for money?" Behind the scenes, Shepard had always om monitored Alec, he was the architect of the Barrett family's downfall. Though Giselle knew Alec's situation was dire, she didn't know the details.
A quick shake of the head was Julia's reply. “No. In fact, he is not as m tas before. Xonly offered him arrogant as aligantas alglass of water when he visited, but he didn't utter a single complaint."
