    But that doesn’t give anyone the right to shamelessly insult Isaac in front of her!


    “All right then.” Wesley hung up the phone.


    Brittany stopped concerning herself with the matters of the Salter family, and fully immersed herself in


    her work.


    The Dustin Group was then back on track, and Joseph came knocking.


    The tension that had initially been present was soon gone. Joseph brought a document with him and


    said, “The shares I promised you.”


    Joseph hadn’t expected that Brittany would be so ruthless, using herself as bait to trap her enemy.


    Upon his arrival in Imperial City, he had quicklye to an agreement with Brittany. He wanted that


    piece ofnd, and Brittany needed an opportunity to get close to Isaac and gather enough evidence to


    take him down.


    Brittany flipped open the document. It was a 10% stake in Grandeur Capital.


    “Let’s keep these shares under wraps for now.” Brittany signed the share agreement.


    Joseph rubbed his temples and said, “I understand. As far as the public is concerned, these shares are


    mine.”


    Brittany cast an extra nce at Joseph, “I met the Martinez family on a business trip recently. Isn’t


    Ste’s bodyguard also from the Martinez family?”Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    “Enough. The guy ran off Joseph was the type of person who enjoyed a good show “Ste was


    furious.”


    Thomas Martinez had run off, and despite Ste spending a good amount of money, she couldn’t track


    him down. It seemed he was determined to escape!


    Brittany knew that in the world of the rich and powerful, marriage was often a matter of political


    arrangement.


    Moreover, the Thome family had plenty of sons and daughters. If Ste Thorne was disobedient, she


    could have easily been cast aside by her family, rendering all her years of effort wasted.


    Ste wasn’t the type to give up everything for love, and neither was Joseph.


    “Your engagement party ising up. You should get back.”


    In front of others, it was better for them to keep their distance.


    Because of a few words from Brittany, the news about Mr. Adams spread like wildfire. The dining table


    was significantly quieter, as no one wanted to offend Brittany over idle gossip.


    Brittany enjoyed the peace. She deliberately ignored any news regarding the Salter family.


    Ever since Isaac was discharged from the hospital, he hadn’t shown his face to her.


    Daniel had seen him a few times, but that was at school.


    Isaac’s avoidance pleased Brittany. She didn’t have to be on edge like before, and if he could have


    signed the divorce papers, that would have been even better.


    He refused to sign, so Brittany took advantage of a moment when he came to see Daniel, catching


    Isaac off guard.


    “Let’s talk.” After not seeing him for nearly half a month, Brittany noticed that the sharpness in Isaac’s


    eyes had softened, reced by a profound quietude.


    Daniel was nestled in his arms. Seeing Brittany approaching, he carefully disentangled himself, as if


    afraid she would have been upset, and called out, “Mom.”


    “Daniel, go y for a while. Mom and Dad need to talk.”


    Seeing that his mother wasn’t angry, Daniel heaved a sigh of relief and left.


    Brittany turned to Isaac, “When do you n on signing the divorce papers?”


    She didn’t want to take it to court, especially with Daniel around.


    “Is there nothing else we can discuss between us?” Isaac had been avoiding Brittany precisely


    because he didn’t want to talk about that matter, but Brittany was relentless.


    Brittany stared at him and asked, “What do you think?”


    Isaac gazed at her clear, petite face, realizing she was serious about wanting a divorce. A pang shot


    through his heart.


    “I don’t want a divorce.”


    “Then should we go to court?” Brittany frowned, “Daniel is still here, and I don’t want to make a scene.


    Don’t push me.”


    Isaac suddenly said, “I’m sorry.”


    Brittany frowned, not understanding why he was apologizing.


    “What do you mean?”


    Why was he apologizing out of the blue?


    “I arranged our marriage behind your back because I was afraid you and William would end up


    together. I wanted to keep you by my side.” Isaac apologized sincerely, “I panicked back then, I thought


    about everything except how you would feel…”
