Chapter 779
Brittany had been anxious about Kari and Mila’s meeting.
After dinner, she just couldn’t hold back anymore. She dialed Kari’s number, “How did the meeting go?”
Kari sounded somewhat troubled, “Mila doesn’t seem to like me much.”
Kari recounted the evening’s happenings in detail, “Brittany, I had no clue about Nathan’s background.”
Over the years, she had achieved considerable success in her career and had grown accustomed to receiving compliments. Kari relished this success but hadn’t envisioned that, in Mila’s presence, she wouldn’t even have the right to speak.
“What did Nathan say?”
In the age-old mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, the son was always the most crucial link.
“He’s been very protective of me, and he refuses to go back to H city!”
Kari was aware of Nathan’s character, but she couldn’t guarantee how long Nathan would hold out due to the biological connections he shared with Mila.
“Nathan is on your side, so you stand a chance. Brittany said gravely. “Concentrate on your work and strive for self-improvement. Respect is earned through continuous efforts to better yourself.”
“I understand.”
After hanging up, Brittany heaved a sigh of relief.
She turned around and found Isaac standing behind her, unbeknownst to when he had arrived. “What’s up?”
Isaac held a cup of warm milk, handing it to her, “I have to go on a business trip tomorrow morning. I’ll be back in about a week.”
The company had undertaken a new project, and he needed to make a personal visit.
Brittany nodded, “Have you packed your stuff?”
“Not yet. Isaac leaned in, embracing her, “I don’t want to go.”
They had just made up, and now he had to be away for a week. It was unbearable.
Brittany had never seen Isaac like this, “Zakky, work is important.” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
He had always been a workaholic. Since when had he started neglecting work just to be with her?
Isaac gently nibbled her earlobe, his large hand caressing her waist, “You’re the most important.”
He seldom talked sweetly, and this one sentence instantly melted Brittany’s heart.
“Have a good trip. If I have time over the weekend, I’ll come to see you.”
Isaac was pleasantly surprised, holding her head and kissing her passionately, making Brittany somewhat breathless.
She pushed his chest, “Stop kissing.”
If he kept going, they’d be up all night.
A desire blazed in Isaac’s eyes. He closed the door, “I have to leave tomorrow, so you’ll have to compensate me tonight.”
Brittany was rendered speechless.
Brittany endured a long night and when she woke up, Isaac had already left. After changing, she walked to the dining room.
Daniel had already been sent to kindergarten by Emily.
Brittany opened her laptop, finding an email from Joseph.
It was about the poisoning incident.
Joseph had access to countless information networks, but he could find little.
This indirectly proved that the person who poisoned her was likely from the Military Department.
Brittany hadn’t expected the situation to be so complicated.
Joseph called, “Brittany, I advise you not to dig any deeper.”
Uncovering something she shouldn’t could entangle herself in a new conflict, and at that point, not even Isaac would be able to protect her.
Joseph, thanks for everything.”
Brittany rubbed her forehead. She wasn’t a pushover. She had been targeted for no reason, how could she just let it go?
After hanging up, Brittany spent the afternoon pondering over everything that had happened over the years, but unfortunately, she couldn’t find any suspicious traces.
In the evening.
Brittany received a notification from the film crew.
The filming was over, and there would be a wrap-up party that night. As a member of the crew, Brittany
Brittany accepted the invitation, changed into a black dress, and left. invited to the wrap-up banquet.
The wrap-up party was grand, with quite a few media outlets in attendance.
Brittany didn’t like being in the spotlight, so she entered through the back door.
