    Chapter 861


    He racked his brain but couldn’t think of anyone else who could reduce years of his hard work to ashes.


    Brittany was always straightforward. “It was me, Zakky. I like you, which is why I can forgive your


    selfishness. But Joie, she can’t leave Imperial City.”


    And she certainly couldn’t expect to get off scot-free.


    Isaac knew he owed Brittany big time and let out a heavy sigh.


    Brittany had lost her appetite and stood up to return to her room.


    Isaac didn’t continue eating either.


    After tidying up the kitchen, he went back to the bedroom, only to find Brittany gathering pillows and


    nkets.


    “Where do you think you’re going?” he asked, panic flickering in his eyes.


    Was she nning to sleep in a separate room?


    “Yours.” Brittany stuffed the bedding into Isaac’s arms. “You can sleep in the study tonight.”


    She didn’t want to argue and, for the moment, didn’t want to see Isaac.


    He tried to speak, but Brittany pushed him out of the bedroom.


    “Bri…”


    “It’s either the study or move out.” Brittany’s cold voice was final.


    Isaac looked down. “Okay, I’ll go to the study.”

    Brittany said no more.


    Isaac lingered outside the door for a long while; when he turned his head, he saw Daniel, who had just


    stepped out for a ss of milk.


    The two locked eyes.


    “Did Mommy kick you out?” Daniel cocked his head, “Then I can sleep with Mommy tonight!”


    A vein throbbed on Isaac’s forehead. “Daniel!”


    Seeing his father’s anger, Daniel stuck out his tongue and hurried back to his room with the milk.


    If he didn’t run, he’d get a spanking!


    Isaac spent a restless night tossing and turning in the study.


    The next morning. Isaac woke to find Brittany done.


    The bedroom felt emply, all of Brittany’s things were put away.


    Isaac’s heart raced as he grabbed his phone to call Brittany. It took her a while to answer


    “Where are you?” Isaac asked anxiously


    Was Brittany leaving again?


    In a moment of panic, he blurted out, “You’re leaving again?”


    Despite her anger, Brittany softened when she heard the panic in Isaac’s voice. “You’re overthinking it.


    I’m on a business trip.”


    “And your things…”


    “In the wardrobe.”


    The sound of a boarding call came from Brittany’s end. “I have to board now. We’ll talkter.”


    Brittany hung up and boarded the ne with Charles.


    Relieved that Brittany wasn’t leaving, Isaac sighed. However, thoughts of Joie surfaced, and his eyes


    hardened.


    Joie, in pain, struggled to sleep. When she finally did, the sound of the door opening woke her.


    Thinking it was the doctor, she grabbed a pillow and hurled it. “Get out!”


    That doctor was doing it on purpose, not even giving her pain medication and letting her suffer!


    Isaac looked at Joie with her head wrapped in bandages and said coldly, “Who are you talking to?”


    “Bro Isaac!” Joie shot up in bed, her eyes shining. “You finally came to see me. It hurt much. Brittany,


    she hit me!”


    She exaggerated Brittany’s actions, her eyes red. “Bro Isaac, it really hurts, Please help me.” As she


    spoke, she reached out to Isaac.


    Isaac stepped back. “You hurt Daniel before, and you ruined Brittany’s face. Isn’t this the price you


    should pay?”


    Joie’s eyes widened in shock. “You… Bro Isaac, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”


    How could Isaac know about Daniel’s fall? Was he aware that it was her doing?
