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
blankets.
“Where do you think you’re going?” he asked, panic flickering in his eyes.
Was she planning to sleep in a separate room?
“Yours.” Brittany stuffed the bedding into Isaac’s arms. “You can sleep in the study tonight.” Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
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 glass 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 talk later.”
Brittany hung up and boarded the plane 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?
