The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Chapter 816

Brittany stepped out of Grace’s room, feeling the quietness of the house settle around her. Daniel had already retreated to his own sanctum upstairs.

She descended the stairs, noting the absence of Joie, who had evidently slipped away while everyone else was preoccupied.

In the kitchen, Brittany warmed herself a mug of milk, a comforting ritual before heading back up to her room.

But the next morning came with an abrupt awakening.

Her phone’s shrill ringtone pierced the silence. Groggily, Brittany answered. “Hello?”

“Ms. Dustin, we’ve got a situation.”

Brittany was instantly alert. “What’s going on? The studio or the office?”

“Neither. It’s Joie.”

Brittany was puzzled.

“Joie leaked a video last night, showing moments of her alone with Mr. Salter,” the assistant hesitated before adding, “there were also some suggestive scenes.”

The assistant’s voice trailed off, leaving the obvious unsaid. To anyone paying attention, Joie clearly hadn’t given up on Isaac.

Brittany opened Twitter and was greeted by a high-definition video that had gone viral.

It was from last night’s banquet.

Isaac, tall and dashing, entered with Joie on his arm, a vision of grace beside him. Together, they were the picture of a perfect couple.

Another clip showed Isaac shielding Joie from an aggressive toast, their body language stirring whispers of intrigue among the guests.

The comments section buzzed with approval of the pairing.

Yet, there were those who remembered Isaac’s connection to Brittany, sparking a wave of speculation.

These voices were quickly drowned out by Joie’s fans, who launched a virtual onslaught, driving the dissenters almost to the point of making their accounts private.

Brittany closed the app, realizing the call was still connected. She cleared her throat, “I see.”

“Mr. Dustin, what’s our move?” The assistant sounded concerned about the potential scandal affecting Brittany’s marriage.

“No need to intervene.”
