Chapter 718
Hannah instinctively shielded Brittany, ring daggers at Isaac.
If he dared to cause any trouble, she would have been the first one to knock his lights out!
After Isaac left, the engagement party officially began.
However, the person that was sent to find Ste came back empty-handed. His face was pale as he
said, “We’ve got a problem. Ms. Ste is missing.”
Ste was gone!
The Thorne family elders were so furious that they almost,had a stroke.
“That girl Ste! She actually ran out on her engagement party?!”
“Scoundrel!” The elders of the Palmer family were even more furious, smashing their wine sses and
pointing at Mr. Thorne before storming off!
Joseph had probably anticipated that. With the bride gone, he wasn’t upset. Instead, he gave a
knowing smile and followed the Palmer family out.
It was a perfectly good engagement party, and Ste decided to run off.
The Thorne family was utterly humiliated.
The guests were dismissed one by one, and Brittany’s group left.
Once they were in the car Hannah was still a little confused, “Bri, did Ms. Ste really run off?”
“It seems like it.”
News of Ste’s runaway bride act quickly spread throughout Imperial City, sending shock waves
through the inte!
When Brittany saw the news, she wasn’t surprised.
Ste was one of the hottest actresses in the country. Every move she made was under public scrutiny,
and the runaway bride act had be a sensation.
The Palmer family, without regard for their own reputation, exposed that Ste had found a new love.
It wasn’t a runaway bride; it was elopement!
The Thorne Group’s stocks plummeted, and several coborations with the Palmer family were cut off,
landing Mr. Thorne in the hospital.
News of Ste’s elopement was sensational, trending on Twitter for three days, despite the Thorne
family spending a fortune trying to suppress it.
With the news making waves, the Palmer family seized the opportunity to take over some of the Thorne
Group’s stocks, causing instability within their ranks.
Three dayster, Ste issued a statement announcing her retirement from acting.
The news of Ste, the once-popr actress retiring from the industry instantly blew up the
entertainment industry.
Countless fansmented, unable to bear Ste’s retirement.
Ste’s retirement caught everyone off guard, causing uproar in the film crew!
Brittany didn’t expect Ste to retire. She immediately contacted Ste, but the person who answered
the call was not her.
“Ms. Dustin.”
It was Thomas.
Brittany’s eyes flickered, “Thomas, what have you done? Is Ste okay?”
“Ms. Dustin, thank you for your concern. She’s fine.” Thomas’s voice was low and hoarse.
Brittany gripped the phone tighter, “Thomas, was it Ste’s idea to retire?”
Ste loved acting, but her retirement meant facing massive penalties for breach of contract, reaching
up to nine figures.
“I’ll take care of the penalty, Ms. Dustin. Please, don’t contact us again.”
Thomas hung up the call, and when Brittany tried to call back, it was disconnected.
Following Ste’s retirement, the Thorne family was furious.
But somehow, within a few days, the Thorne family revived, never mentioning Ste’s name again.

Even the Palmer family seemed to have let bygones be bygones as if the runaway bride incident never
happened.
Brittany couldn’t wrap her head around it, but before she could figure it out, another incident urred.
Daniel was missing!
Brittany’s first thought was that it was Isaac’s doing.
Ignoring all objections, Brittany stormed into Radiant Residences!
“Isaac,e out!”
Emily couldn’t stop Brittany, “Ms. Dustin, you…”
“Can I help you?” Isaac heard themotion and came down from the second floor.
Brittany grabbed his shirt. Her eyes were filled with desperation as she asked, “Where’s Daniel?”
“Isn’t he at school?” Isaac was taken aback, clearly not expecting Brittany to suddenly show up and
question him about Daniel’s whereabouts.
“You didn’t take him?” Brittany’s heart skipped a beat. She felt like a fish out of water, hanging on by a
thread, waiting for an answer.
