Word about Isaac and Shona’s wedding was all over the ce, sending the stocks of NK Corporation
and Grandeur Capital through the roof.
The Bet family gifted Shona severalpanies, which was way more than she anticipated.
Indeed, as soon as word got out about their wedding, everyone was trying to cozy up to her!
Isaac couldn’t care less. He was at the research institute, where Kyle’s condition was gradually
stabilizing.
Even though the new year had begun, the whole city seemed to be shrouded in fog.
Isaac left the hospital, taking Shona to a big, fancy shindig
The bash was crawling with media. The two of them showing up together caused quite a stir.
Both were real lookers, turning heads at the banquet.

The news immediately blew up online. At the same time, some bigwig media outlets announced that
Brittany and Isaac were divorced
The party was hopping.
But Brittany woke up to find someone standing in front of her
“Why is it you?”
Jole was wearing a whiteb coat, her hair neatly coiffed, revealing a pretty face. There was a hint of
scorn in her eyes, “Brittany, Mr. Salter is about to get engaged to Ms. Bet, did you know?”
Brittany, stuck there, surely didn’t know about that, right?
Joie chuckled, “Did you think Mr. Salter really liked you? He was just messing with you.”
Perhaps because she already knew, Brittany didn’t react.
She leaned against the headboard, her expression calm, “If you’re here to tell me this, then we have
nothing to discuss
The business of Isaac and Shana was none of her concern.
She just wanted to get out of there, but sadly, everyone here was Isaac’s crew!
“Brittany, stop pretending you don’t care.”
Joie was somewhat disgruntled that Brittany hadn’t broken down in tears. She was convinced was
putting on a brave face.
She rolled her eyes, “Do you want to see them dining togetherst night? Today they’re at the party
together.”
Joie pulled out her phone, showing the news in an attempt to expose Brittany’s facade
Brittany nced at the screen. The shock and heartbreak fromst night had been reced by
numbness. She even admired the photos genuinely. “They really are a match made in heaven.”
They were both excellent.
Both families were powerful.
Joie didn’t expect Brittany to react that way. She clenched her teeth, “Brittany, don’t you care at all?”
“Isaac deceived me; do you think I would care?” Brittany saw through Joie’s thoughts, “I think you must
be the one who’s hurt, right?”
“You like Isaac, but he chose Shona over you.”
Joie went pale when her true feelings were exposed
“You’re talking nonsense. Mr. Salter and I are just like siblings.”
“Spare me. Your repeated attempts to sabotage my rtionship with Grace were just to drive me away,
right?”
Brittany cut her off, speaking coolly, “Joie, let’s make a deal”
A deal?
Jole clenched her fists and asked, “What do you mean?”
Brittany’s reaction made her uneasy. She thought Brittany would be devastated. But she was taken
aback by how nonchnt Brittany seemed.
“If you help me leave Imperial City, I’ll give you enough resources. Even if you can’t marry Isaac, you’ll
have afortable life. How about it?”
-Brittany’s eyes sharpened slightly. She had originally nned to cooperate with Shona, but Joie
coming to her was an unexpected turn. Jole was another
potential ally
“You’re nning to leave?”
Jole was stunned.
“Yes.”
A hint of cunning shed in Jole’s eyes. After a moment of silence, she said, “Alright, I agree.”
Brittany and Jole’s meeting wentrgely unnoticed.
Isaac returned from the party, even bringing back some sweets that Brittany liked.
He took off his coat, dispelling the chill at the door before entering the room. He walked to the bedside,
reached out, and touched her face, “Happy New
ww
Year”
He was as gentlemanly as ever.
Brittany felt a surge of disgust, instinctively wanting to dodge his hand, but fearing to alert him, she had
to endure it, responding softly.
