If it weren’t for the protection of the Palmer family, Natalie wouldn’t have taken action.
Joseph stayed silent. “Brittany, I’ve always admired you, and I admit the Palmer family has made
mistakes. So, all the shares I hold of Grandeur Capital will be transferred to you as a formal apology.”
What Brittany wanted weren’t just benefits. “I heard you’ve got the secondrgestwork in Imperial
City; I need a favor. Can you help me investigate someone?”
Joseph pressed his temples. “Tell me.”
Brittany took out a bundle of files from her drawer. It was about her poisoning. She pushed them in
front of Joseph. “I want to know where this poison came from, who could’ve had ess to it, and who
could cure it.”
Joseph opened the files, and then a peculiar look crossed his face.
“HSE12? You got poisoned with this, and you’re still alive?”
“You know this poison?”
Joseph clicked his tongue and closed the files. “I have some knowledge about this poison.”
“This poison is incredibly rare. Once it enters the body, it can lie dormant for decades. But once it
breaks out, there’s barely any hope.” “So you’re saying I’ve been poisoned for many years?”
If that were true, finding the person who poisoned her would be even more difficult.
Joseph spoke gently, but Brittany knew if she decided to investigate thoroughly, it would probably lead
to a widespread problem.
“So, can you find out who could have had ess to this poison?”
“People from the military.” Joseph paused. “It could also exist in Craneville.”
The military, or Craneville…
Just thinking about it gave Brittany a headache.
Joseph took the files and gave Brittany a lingering look before he left. “You’ve already recovered, so I
wouldn’t rmend you continue investigating. If you dig too deep and find things you shouldn’t, the
consequences could be unimaginable.”
Brittany knew Joseph was telling the truth. But she didn’t want to live in uncertainty. “I’m counting on
you.”
After Joseph left, Brittany dealt with the piled-up paperwork, met with a few clients in the afternoon, and
made preliminary agreements for cooperation.
During her hospitalization, Kari had been working non-stop. When Brittany returned, she gave Kari a
break immediately.
Just as Kari left, Tina walked in. “Ms. Dustin, do you have a moment?”
Tina had been working with Brittany for many years. She was a loyal and efficient employee.
“Sit.” Brittany closed the files, stood up, and poured Tina a cup of coffee. “What’s up?”
“Ms. Dustin.” Tina seemed troubled. “I’d like to take a break for a while.”
“A break?” Brittany was surprised. “Is something wrong?”
Tina smiled. “I’m pregnant.” She paused. “My family suggested that I should go home and rest.”
Tina came from a good family. She became a jewelry designer because she loved it. After she got
married, she had been trying to conceive, so now that she was pregnant, her family became very
attentive.
Brittany was understanding. “Of course, you can take a break. I’ll be waiting for your return.”
Tina thought Brittany wouldn’t let her go, considering the studio was very busy and losing one person
would impact the workflow. “Mr. Dustin, thank you for understanding.” Tina expressed gratitude. “Ms.
Dustin, I’ll try my best toe back within two years.”
Her family wanted her to be a full-time housewife after giving birth, but she didn’t want that life.
She argued with them and nned to return to work after two years.
“Congrattions. Getting pregnant is a wonderful thing. Take good care of yourself, and if you need
anything, don’t hesitate to contact
me.”
Brittany was a mother herself, so she could understand Tina’s choice.

After deciding to take a break, Tina handed over all her work to her colleagues.
After finishing the paperwork, Tina treated the entire studio to dinner.
At the dinner table, Brittany drank a couple sses of wine.
She didn’t dare drink more, so she made an excuse and made a trip to the restroom.
