    Chapter 502


    Brittany strutted over to her desk, mming herptop shut with a resonating “Nope”


    Derek knew better than to pry further, so he handed her a key card instead. “This is a new ce I just


    bought. I had it decorated to your taste, and the security is top-notch. Check it out when you have the


    time.”


    Brittany took the key card with a nonchnt “Sure,” clearly not too fussed about it. She wasnt exactly


    lacking in real estate.

    Even though the Bishop family had seen better days, Katelin was still loaded and spoiled Brittany rotten


    Randell Moore had also gifted her several properties. She just didn’t fancy living in any of them.


    She much preferred staying in hotels where there were other people around


    Derek didn’t linger. He needed to report back.


    He pushed open the door to Radiant Residences. The lights in the living room were already off, leaving


    only the soft glow of nightlights illuminating the hallway The warm, golden light made the ce feel


    cozy.


    He climbed the stairs to the third floor.


    When he pushed open the door to the study, sure enough, Isaac was still awake.


    The man was dressed in a sharp ck suit and sitting in a leather chair, his cold eyes fixed on the


    computer screen. He looked cold and deep


    “Zac.”


    For the past five years, Isaac had been as cold as ice to everyone. Derek wasnt used to it at first, but


    hed gotten used to it.


    He walked over to the desk, handed over the investigation files, and sat down. “The one who took


    Daniel is a young woman named Luna Garcia. She has


    no connections with you”


    He had altered the investigation files. Brittany didn’t want anything to do with Isaac anymore.


    All he could do was help her keep her identity a secret


    Isaac flipped through the files. Luna Garcia. He had no connections with that person. Luna Garcia was


    from out of town and was staying long-term at a hotel for work. She was married and had a happy


    family life.


    “Got it.”


    ording to the files, the woman who took Daniel didn’t cause any trouble. She even had a meal with


    him and arranged for the police to bring him back She clearly didn’t mean any harm,


    Seeing that Isaac didn’t have any suspicions, Derek let out a sigh of relief.


    They chit chatted about work for a bit, and Derek shook his head at the mention of the machines on the


    production line.


    “Zac, you’ve been working too hard over the years. Nathan’s nearly worn out. Give him a few days off”


    Isaac paused. He knew his employees had beenining about being overworked.


    “Double the year-end bonuses.”


    Even money-loving Derek couldn’t resist the allure of money. He agreed, “Alright, we can work with


    that.”


    As long as the pay was good, they’d give it their all!


    Isaac went back to his paperwork. Derek looked at him, feeling a pang of sympathy. After a while, he


    broke the silence. You’re not nning on visiting her this year, either?”


    Five years ago, when the news of Brittany’s death broke, Isaac had passed out for a week.


    By the time he woke up, he had missed her funeral.


    In the five years since then, he had never once visited her grave


    And he never mentioned Brittany.


    People around him thought he was cold-hearted. Even someone he used to care so deeply for, he


    never mourned or mentioned


    But those close to him knew that he hadn’t had a moment of happiness in those five years.


    Derek couldn’t understand it. He knew Isaac was in love with Brittany. How could he get tangled up


    with Shona Bet, indirectly leading to the death of


    their child?


    “Get out


    Isaac’s tone was icy, filled with warning.


    Derek knew he didn’t want to talk about it. After a pause, he stood up.


    He took a few steps, then turned back “Daniel is your son after all. You should try to build a rtionship


    with him, Don’t let people think there’s bad blood between you”


    His advice was met with silence.


    Derek shut the door behind him and strode out of Radiant Residences.


    The night was hazy. Derek drove aimlessly, eventually ending up at the Chester family’s house.


    ?Ever since Brittany’s ident, Hannah Chester had left NK Corporation and officially joined the


    Chester family’spany.


    She was smart and had plenty of work experience. She was doing exceptionally well in thepany.


    In the first year or two, Hannah was always cold toward him. It wasn’t until the news that Brittany was


    still alive that their rtionship started to warm up. He looked up at the second-floor room on the left


    Hannah loved gardening, and by summer, her balcony was filled with blooming jasmine nts. The


    small, delicate flowers were scattered among the


    greenery


    Derek watched the flower bed for a while, then drove off.
