The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel (Brittany and Isaac)

Chapter 16



When Loraine heard about this, her face instantly changed. "There's nothing between her and me that needs discussing."

"Ms. Field, I want to apologize for my sister; I hope you accept it."

Patrina spoke in a gentle voice, looking truly remorseful, which made Finn feel a pang in his heart.

Why was it Patty who had to apologize when it was Brittany who had messed everything up?

Loraine frowned. "This has nothing to do with you. I'm not going to pick a fight with the Dustin family."

Patrina watched Loraine leave, her eyes full of anxiety: "Finn, should I not have brought my sister here? If Ms. Field is unfriendly to her," "Then she deserves it!"

Finn wrapped his arms around her waist and said, "Patty, you're too kind. Whatever happens tonight, it's all Brittany's own doing!"

Patrina leaned into his arms, a glimmer in her eyes.

Back in her bedroom on the second floor, Sydney was already waiting for her: "Loraine."

Loraine greeted her back: "You're here."

"Loraine, do you still have feelings for Zac?" Sydney asked gently, holding onto her arm.

Loraine hesitated. How could she not have feelings for him?

Isaac was the best man she had ever met. What happened three years ago had always weighed on her heart.

"Loraine, I heard recently that Zac got married."

Loraine's face changed instantly. "Married?"

How could she not know anything about this? Who was the bride? Was she an upper-class lady, or just a marriage of convenience?

"Yes, she is a notorious person, but it seems like Isaac is unaware."

Sydney was certain that Isaac had no idea about Brittany; otherwise, how could he marry her?

"You're saying Zac was deceived?"

Loraine found it hard to believe. Isaac was so intelligent; how could he be deceived?

Sydney looked troubled: "My cousin married Brittany, who once plagiarized your work, and somehow won his favor. He probably doesn't know Brittany's true colors, or else how could he marry someone like her? Loraine, you've been friends with my cousin for many years. You can't just sit by and watch him be deceived."

Loraine hadn't expected two people to bring up Brittany today. Plagiarism, marrying Isaac-both these things had her on edge!

Seeing her silent, Sydney decided to add fuel to the fire.

"Furthermore, I heard Brittany married Isaac because she was kicked out of the Dustin family. Isaac probably doesn't know her real situation; he's likely been tricked."

Sydney sighed, and at that moment Loraine turned to her and said, "Sydney, thank you for telling me all this."

Sydney thought she had fallen for it: "Loraine, you and Isaac have grown up together; you can't just stand by and let him be deceived."

"Zac is an adult. He should be aware of his own actions; we're just outsiders."

Loraine wasn't a fool; how could she not see Sydney's intentions?

She did want to make up with Isaac, but she didn't have to be the bad guy. Since he had married Brittany, as long as he knew Brittany's true colors, everything would clear up. "I'm not getting involved in your business with Brittany."

Loraine picked up her skirt and left. Sydney hadn't expected her to refuse. She quickly spun around and went back to the banquet.

When Brittany and Hannah stepped into the Field family's home, it immediately caused a stir.

"Isn't that Brittany? She once plagiarized Loraine's work; how could she dare to show up here?"

"I don't know! I heard she was kicked out of the Dustin family long ago."

"What a publicity hound!"

Sydney feigned concern and asked loudly, "Brittany, you really showed up? This is the Field family's place. You once plagiarized Loraine's work; how dare you show your face here?"

At this point, Hannah rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight: "Sydney, watch your mouth. Bri never did anything dishonest from the time she enrolled until graduation! The truth about that competition hasn't been fully investigated yet!"

"What are you smirking about? Don't forget, it was thanks to Brittany that you are where you are today!"

To Hannah, Sydney was the most disgusting person she had ever met.

Before the competition, Sydney was all sweet talk to Brittany. She stole Brittany's design and even joined Velvet Glow Jewellery by using Brittany.

After the competition, she immediately changed her tune and started mocking her.

"Hannah, you're nothing more than Brittany's lapdog, and that's all you'll ever be!" Sydney mocked: "Someone like her who loves to plagiarize shouldn't be here!"

The crowd echoed:

"Get out!"

"Brittany, you didn't apologize when you plagiarized; it's time to apologize now!"

Brittany coldly stared at the crowd, some of whom she even recognized.

She took a deep breath and said coldly, "I'll say it again: I did not plagiarize."

"If you didn't plagiarize, how did Loraine's design end up with you?"

Sydney sneered. She thought of Brittany as a low-class person who thought she could climb up with her cousin's help. She told herself, Let's see if Isaac still wanted her after tonight. Patrina and Finn walked over. Patrina looked worried. "Sis, you should apologize now."

"Yeah, Brittany, saying sorry doesn't cost you anything, you know. If you screwed up, you screwed up. That's a fact."

Finn was livid. If he had known Brittany was shameless, he wouldn't have dated her in the first place.

"Why should I apologize?" Brittany retorted. "You guys are just looking for reasons to frame me!"

Someone enraged, picked up a champagne bottle and hurled it at Brittany. "Brittany, I've put up with your crap for years. You still have no shame; you can go to hell!" Hannah was shocked. "Bri, look out!"

Brittany just stood there, frozen, as the bottle flew towards her.

The bottle hit her, and the room fell silent. Everyone watched the scene unfold.

Outside of Field Manor.

A black Rolls-Royce pulled up. Wesley, dressed in a pink suit, got out of the car, arm in arm with a young starlet. They were jesting with each other, looking quite smitten. Then the other car's door opened.

Isaac stepped out, his expression cold.

"Let's go in."

"Go ahead and enjoy yourself. We'll head home together later."

The three of them walked into the Field family's home one after another, Wesley's starlet companion tactfully staying silent.

As soon as they entered, they heard the commotion.

"What's happening?"

"That woman who plagiarized the lady's work showed up. They're causing a fuss!" The servant's words dripped with sarcasm.

That cheap skank who made a name for herself by plagiarizing and daring to show her face in public she's got some nerve!

At this, Wesley immediately thought of Brittany. His expression changed instantly.

Was she looking for trouble? She knew this was the Field family's territory, but she still dared to come. Didn't she know that the Fields would like nothing more than to tear her to pieces? Brittany's designs had been impressive; he had even considered hiring her. Now that she was in danger, should he intervene?

Isaac noticed Wesley's intention to intervene; his eyebrows twitched.

"Do you have time for this sideshow?"

Wesley cleared his throat. "Don't you want to see?"
