“Brittany, why’d you push Joie? Her heart’s dodgy”
Brittany froze in her tracks.
Just as Joie said, Grace didn’t hesitate to back Joie up.
Brittany’s refusal to speak made Grace feel a pang of disappointment. She called for Emily and the
house staff. Together, they helped Jole downstairs. Before leaving, Grace shot Brittany a disapproving
look, “Bri, has Joie done you wrong? She’s already apologized. What more do you want?”
Brittany’sst ounce of hope in Grace dissolvedpletely.
She had never been unconditionally trusted by anyone.
Be it her parents or anyone else
She turned around, retreating slowly into her bedroom, Think whatever you want to think. I’m beat.”
Grace had never seen Brittany like this. It took her by surprise,
Just as she intended to probe further, Emily came upstairs to ry that Joie’s injuries were severe and
she needed to be rushed to the hospital.
Emily wasn’t sure what had transpired, but having spent a lot of time with Brittany, she didn’t believe
Brittany would hit someone for no reason. So she tried to delend Brittany
‘Mrs. Salter surely didn’t mean to. Let’s go check on Ms. Joie first.
Worried about Joie, Grace headed downstairs.
Joie had a noticeable wound on the back of her head, so Grace immediately got a driver to take her to
the hospital.
As Joie was being helped into the car, she weakly clutched Grace’s hand, “Nana, don’t me Bri. She
didn’t push me on purpose…”
Grace’s heart melted. This silly kid was still looking out for Brittany even now?
She patted Joie’s hand reassuringly, “Don’t worry. I’ll get to the bottom of this. I’ll make it right.”
Emily, sitting in the passenger seat, looked rather uneasy Ms. Jole seemed to be pleading for Brittany
but was actually making sure Grace med Brittany for what happened. The truth couldn’t be that
simple.
After they left, Brittany applied some essential oil and then climbed into bed.
Just as she was settling in, the bedroom door was pushed open.
Isaac walked in, “Did you have a fight with Joie?”
Brittany assumed Isaac was here to defend Joie, so she tossed her phone aside, “Yes!”
“You pushed her?”
Isaac sat on the edge of the bed, reaching out to hold Brittany, but she dodged him, ‘Mr. Salter, you
should go check on Ms. Joie
Brittany had been tricked by Joie, causing her to lose Grace’s trust, so her tone was understandably
sour.
Isaac detected her dissatisfaction yet still took her hand, “I’ll look into this. I promise I won’t let you be
wronged.”
He didn’t believe Brittany wouldsh out without provocation. She wasn’t that kind of person.
His firm trustforted Brittany.
Her demeanor softened slightly. She recalled Joie’s words, “When Grace had that car ident before,
Jole saved her, right?”
“Yes. That ident was severe. If it weren’t for her, Granny might’ve…
Isaac had already investigated that ident.
It was an unfortunate Incident.

as her own granddaughter. However, the ident had been confirmed as just that Used the ident to
win Grace’s favor.
She couldn’t prove Joie did it on purpose.

Brittany fell-flent, thinking about how she could expose Joie’s true colors.

Isaac intended to stay with her, but then Grace called several times. He chose to ignore them all for
Brittany’s sake:
Brittany knew these were Grace’s calls. She pulled her hand away, “It’s your Granny You should
answer it.”
Isaac tucked her in, gave her a peck on the forehead, “I’ll make a quick run to the hospital. Get some
rest.” Drittany’s heart instantly tightened.
After Isaac left, Brittany tossed and turned in bed. She couldn’t sleep a wink until deep into the night.
At the hospital
