Chapter 744


    Chapter 744


    She had been with Joseph for over six months now, during this time he had been attentive to her every


    need, save for one thing: marriage.


    He had chosen to get engaged to Ste.


    Apart from her background, what else could possibly make her less deserving of Joseph?


    Ste jilting Joseph was undoubtedly a p in the face to the Palmer family, but what was more


    surprising was the fact that Joseph was still relentlessly looking for Ste. Was he nning to find her


    and continue with their wedding?

    Joseph came back.


    Natalie wanted to ask about Ste’s whereabouts.


    “Stop meddling in her business.” Joseph pressed his forehead.


    As expected, the bodyguard, Thomas Martinez, Ste had messed with was a madman.


    Now that she had fallen into the hands of Thomas, even the Palmer family would have a hard time


    saving her.


    He’d warned her before, but Ste was just too smitten with Thomas.


    But Natalie misinterpreted his reaction.


    Was he worried that she would harm Ste? Or was he trying to keep her from knowing too much so as


    not to interfere with his engagement to Ste?


    Either scenario was hard to swallow.


    Brittany left the restaurant and drove home.


    The house was empty, which Brittany found rather peaceful.


    She took a hot shower, changed into casual clothes, and made a pot of rib stew.


    While the stew was simmering, Brittany dealt with some work matters and phoned Kari to remind her to


    be careful.


    “I know. Nathan has been with metely; I will be careful.”


    Brittany wanted to give her more advice, but there was a knock on the door.


    “Do you have guests?” Kari heard the knock and asked Brittany.


    “We’ll talk another day.”


    Brittany hung up the phone, walked to the door, and saw a man standing outside through the peephole.


    She frowned and opened the door. “What are you doing here?”


    Isaac lowered his gaze. “I’ve checked all the surveince footage in the neighborhood. There are no


    anomalies.”


    Unlike what he told Brittany, he found that the surveince footage when Daniel fell was clearly deleted.


    Obviously, the person who deleted the footage was the one who appeared in the Salter Manor.


    Brittany backed away. “I understand.”


    She was about to close the door.


    “Wait.”


    Isaac stopped the door with his hand. His gaze was dark, and his lips were tightly pursed. “May Ie


    in for a rest?”


    Brittany met his gaze and suddenly realized that Isaac looked quite haggard.


    Daniel was hospitalized due to an injury, and as his father, how could he not be worried?


    With this thought, Brittany let go. “Come in.”


    Isaac breathed a sigh of relief when she agreed, but he still walked in with some hesitation.


    At the hospital.


    Emily received a phone call. A raspy voice came from the other end.


    Her face changed instantly, and she immediately stood up. “Okay. I’ll be right there.”


    Her son had an ident on the East City Highway; she needed to go there immediately.


    She hung up the phone, gathered her things in a panic, and quickly left the ward.


    After Emily left, Joie entered the ward.


    Daniel was still unconscious.


    His head was wrapped in gauze, and his eyes were tightly closed. His lips were slightly dry and


    reddened. He looked like an injured animal, pitiful and helpless.

    Joie never liked Daníel from the start, and now she despised him even more. She walked to the


    bedside, picked up a pillow, and slowly approached Daniel.


    Holding the pillow, Joie pressed it down hard on Daniel.


    Therge ward was silent. Her hand became extremely veined as she exuded a fierce determination


    while gripping the pillow with all her might.


    Joie was ruthless. She held the pillow down firmly with no remorse. In a few minutes, Daniel would be


    no more.
