Chapter 581
Matthew is a real whizz-kid; within just five years, he managed to bring the Dustin Group out of the red,
and thepany was more than quintupled in its size. Thend he developed had now be one of
the most eye-catching projects in Imperial City.
He didn’t achieve all this by twiddling his thumbs.
“As for your payment, we can hash it outter.” Brittany was never a stingy woman as she rewarded
people.
“Sure.”
Matthew didn’t bat an eye. After sweating bullets for five years, he deserved a handsome reward.
They chatted the whole afternoon away, and Brittany handed Matthew a hefty chunk of change. Before
leaving, Matthew gave Brittany a long, thoughtful look.
“Ms. Dustin, I heard you had a falling out with Mr. Salter?”
“Yes.”
Brittany knew there was no point in beating around the bush.
“Well, then, you should stop butting heads with the Salter family. Even though the Dustin Group is a lot
stronger than five years ago, it’s still a small fry for the Salters.”
Matthew was worried that Brittany was going to pick a fight with the Salter family. If that happened, all
his bard work over the past five years would go down the drain.
After Matthew left, Brittany sank into deep thought.Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
She finally left when her assistant reminded her about the dinner party.
Joie’s dinner party was a big bash; she had booked an entire floor of the restaurant. The private room
was filled with crew members, and the atmosphere was really chill.
By the time Brittany and her assistant arrived, the dinner party was already in full swing.
They found a spot and sat down. Brittany grabbed a ss, poured herself some juice, and was just
about to take a sip.
“Brittany, you made it.”
Joie walked over with a wine ss in hand, beaming from ear to ear, “Let’s toast?”
Suddenly, the whole room fell silent.
One was Isaac’s ex-wife, and the other was his crush in the moment; their face-off filled the room with
a palpable tension.
Most of the crew were just there for the popcorn, and nobody dared to take sides.

Isaac was backing Joie and Brittany was supported by the Dillion family and Bri-jeweled Studio, so
neither was ready to back down.
“Sorry, Ms. Joie, I’m allergic to alcohol.”
Brittany had no intention of drinking with Joie, nor was she in the mood for making nice..
Joie’s smile froze. She clutched her ss of wine, “Are you holding a grudge against me?”
The Crew thought, “What the heck? What’s going on? Aren’t they rivals? Why does Joie seem to care
so much about Brittany’s feelings?” Brittany didn’t know whether Jóie was just a great actress, or if she
had some screws loose. Faced with Joie’s overtures, Brittany was totally unfazed. She even found it a
bitughable.
“Ms. Joie, I don’t think there’s any bad blood between us.”
“I know you’re still mad at me because I have feelings for Bro Isaac.” Joie cut her off, “But Bro Isaac
and I only got together after you guys broke up. I never intended to steal him from you. And you’ve
moved on now. Can you promise me you won’t contact Bro Isaac anymore?”
In a few remarks, Brittany was painted as a clingy, desperate woman.
Everyone in the room was shocked, and they looked at Brittany as if she was a heartbreaker!
Brittany narrowed her eyes slightly, picked up her ss elegantly and sipped her juice leisurely, “If you
can let Isaac give me some space, I’ll be very grateful.”
Jpie didn’t expect Brittany to be so patient. She still managed to be soposed on hearing such
harsh words.
Just as she was about to say something else…
“She’s allergic to alcohol. I’ll drink this one.”
A pair of hands picked up the ss.
Joie was surprised, “Bro Isaac, why you’re here?”
Under everyone’s gaze, Isaac downed the drink in one gulp; hís Adam’s apple bobbing up and down,
drawing sidelong nces from
everyone.
“Mr. Salter is drinking for Brittany?”
