    Chapter 504


    Kari finally stopped crying, wiping away her tears, “Brittany, you’re finally back. I’ve been missing you


    all these years.”


    “Me too”


    Brittany had rushed over from the hospital, not even having time to change into formal wear. Kari led


    her upstairs and said, “I had my assistant prepare something for you.”


    Upon entering the room, a stylist and a makeup artist were already waiting for them.


    Brittany plopped down in front of the dressing mirror, ready for them to work their magic.


    Kari wanted to stay and chat but was called away


    She was super busy, and as Brittany watched her hustle around efficiently, a pang of sadness hit her.


    Ever since Brittany left five years ago, Kari had cut ties with Wesley Tueley and had been suppressed


    in the industry for a long time.


    But Kari had risen to the asion, sessfully leading Bri-jeweled Studio out of the rut


    The makeup artist, who was new, kept praising Brittany for her greatplexion. Brittany justughed


    it off.


    Once her look was done, the stylist picked out a ck Audrey Hepburn-style dress that perfectly


    matched Brittany’s look for the day


    Brittany went into the changing room.


    When Kari came back from a phone call looking upset, it was clear the conversation hadn’t gone well.


    She walked over to the water cooler, poured herself a cup of water, and drank it in one go. The sound


    of crunching paper filled the room as Kari crushed the cup in her hand, looking visibly frustrated.


    “Those damn bankers! They were begging for a partnership before, but now they’re the first ones to


    wash their hands off any responsibility. Real fair-weather friends!” she thought.


    “What’s wrong?” Brittany emerged from the dressing room and noticed her upset, ‘Did the talk not go


    well?”


    Kari didn’t want to burden her, “Bri, it’s nothing. Everything’s fine.”


    Brittany walked over to her, gently taking the crumpled cup from her hand, “You’ve been holding up this


    studio for the past five years. You’ve worked so


    hard.”


    *Bri… Kari’s eyes welled up with tears.


    Bri-jeweled Studio was like her child. She would have done anything for what she loved.


    I’ll handle this financial issue. Brittany couldn’t bear to see Kari shoulder everything alone anymore.


    She asked the makeup artist and the stylist to leave, then pulled Kari down to sit. “After this financial


    issue is sorted, I may leave here”


    Brittany stood up, walked over to the dressing table, took a document out of her bag, and slid it in front


    of Kan.


    “Bri, what is this?”


    Kari had a bad feeling about that.


    “1 n to give you all my shares, except for the original 10%”


    “No way.”


    Kari immediately shook her head, “Bri-jeweled Studio is our baby. You’re the key to its sess. I don’t


    want these shares.


    “Kari.”


    Brittany held her hand, her voice heavy, “I might note back in the future. I can’t manage the studio


    from afar. I want you to carry on our hard work and take it further. Can you do that?”


    Kari was apetent businesswoman. She had given so much over the past five years, and Brittany


    could feel it.


    Kari moved her lips slightly, and after a while, she shook her head and said, “Br-jeweled Studio is ours.


    I don’t need these shares. Even if you don’te back, I will do my best to make the studio better.


    Please don’t give me these. I care more about you than these shares”


    Brittany had given Karl a chance when her reputation was bad, allowing her to join her studio.


    Over the years, Britany had given her a lot.


    Shares, dividends and treatment were the best she could offer.


    She already bad a car, a house, and substantial savings. She didn’t need more.


    But Brittany insisted on giving her the shares.


    Kari firmly tore the document into pieces, “Bri, dinner is starting now. Let’s go.”


    Brittany was momentarily at a foss for words and had to give up

    In the glittering hall, social elites in suits gathered in small groups, creating a harmonious atmosphere.


    On the second floor, a tall figure slowly ascended the staircase, followed by an emotionless Nathan.


    *Mr. Salter, pleasee in…”


    Isaac walked into the lounge, and at the same time, the door of the lounge next door opened!
