    The bidding had been a marathon,sting a good three hours. Brittany was wholly engrossed, only


    letting out a sigh of relief when the results were announced.


    Joseph had predicted that this piece ofnd would have ended up in Brittany’s possession. He came


    forward with his entourage, “Congrats, Ms. Dustin.”


    Brittany, having secured the project, was in high spirits, “Thank you, Mason.”


    She left with her team.


    Joseph’s assistant gritted his teeth, “Young Master, Brittany doesn’t know what’s good for her. Should


    we…”


    “Shut up!” Joseph snapped, “She is now part of the Salter family. If we’re to take action, now is not the


    time.”


    The assistant swallowed his words.


    After leaving the bidding venue, Brittany was escorted by her assistant to a victory feast. She wasn’t a


    fan of drinking, especially considering her health.


    The wholepany was invigorated, and Brittany was brimming with ambition, aiming to take the


    Dustin Group to new heights.


    The project was secured, and a significant amount of capital was invested. That left Brittany somewhat


    strapped for cash.


    Thankfully, things were going well. Wesley had negotiated with the bank and signed a loan agreement.


    The loan would be credited the following month, easing her financial strain.


    The busiest period was over, and Brittany began to rx.


    In contrast, Isaac was running around like a headless chicken. There had been a constant stream of


    negative news online, causing Grandeur Capital’s stock to plummet.


    Living under the same roof, they hardly had a chance to cross paths.


    Isaac was working from dawn till dusk, and even Daniel noticed his father’s busyness.


    “Mommy, is Daddy very busy?”


    Brittany tweaked his nose, “Yes, he is. Are you not happy with Mommy’spany?”


    Daniel nestled in her arms, shaking his head, “No, I’m very happy when Mommy is with me.”


    Brittany tucked Daniel in and left the kid’s room.


    She unlocked her phone in her room, only to be met with a barrage of negative news about Grandeur


    Capital.


    The news was about suspicion of embezzling public funds, suspicion of tax evasion and bankruptcy.


    Those headlines bombarded her, and Brittany, for once, had a good night’s sleep.


    The next morning.


    The news of Grandeur Capital’s bankruptcy was impossible to hide. Early in the morning, Grandeur


    Capital’s stock took a nosedive.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Investors and shareholders were restless. As soon as Isaac arrived at Grandeur Capital, he was


    confronted by a revolt from the shareholders!


    Meanwhile, the negative news about Grandeur Capital was rampant online. In just a few hours, the


    market value shrank by billions!


    Isaac hadn’t expected things to get that bad, let alone the shareholders who used to be respectful then


    daring to confront him!


    He spent some time pacifying the shareholders and returned to his office..


    There was an extra person.


    “Long time no see.” Marcel Salter sat in his wheelchair, with Leda by his side.


    Isaac’s eyes narrowed as he looked at his secretary, seemingly questioning how that man had


    managed to get in.


    The secretary stuttered, “Mr. Sálter, I couldn’t stop him.”


    “Out.”


    The secretary left,


    Isaac’s eyesnded on Marcel, who looked healthier than he had five years prior, with the exception of


    still being wheelchair-bound.


    He entered his office, “What are you doing here?”


    Marcel smiled, “Taking over Grandeur Capital.”


    Isaac sneered, “You?”


    Marcel shrugged, “I know you’ve always looked down on me. Do you think the shareholders will still


    ept you now?”


    “With the news of bankruptcy and scandals, do you really think they’ll still support you?”


    Isaac knew the losses this time were severe, but he was confident he could reim what belonged to


    him.


    “So, they’ll support you, an illegitimate child who can’t be made public?”


    Marcelughed heartily, “Isaac, aren’t you curious? Why did you fall into such a big trap this time?”


    Isaac clenched his fists, and his body was tense. His icy eyes were filled with frost, “What do you


    mean?”


    “You should thank me. I kept Grandeur Capital in the hands of the Howard family, otherwise…” Marcel


    laughed cruelly, “It would have be the Dustin Group’s property!”
