Brittany thought that made sense. She felt a pang of guilt recalling what Robert had said, "Isaac, I'm sorry. He was way out of line. Don't sweat it."
She always thought Isaac was the best, and indeed, he was.
After working for a few years, with savings and a steady job, he was ahead of many people.
Of course, Isaac didn't give a hoot. He got her into the car. Seeing her eyes still red, his gaze softened a bit. "You already gave him a mouthful for me. Let's call it a day."
At least it was over to some extent.
Brittany leaned over, kissing his chin, only to be grabbed by the man and kissed passionately.
Ever since they took their relationship up a notch, Isaac wanted to be with her all the time. At that moment, he was all guns blazing, wishing he could devour her.
Suddenly, a sharp honk rang out, followed by a blinding light.
Brittany instinctively covered her eyes. Isaac looked towards the light to see a black car stopped a few yards away. The driver looked pissed.
Finn never dreamt that Brittany, who hadn't slept with him during their four years together, was getting intimate with another man in a car.
"Brittany, are you really with him?"
Brittany glared at Finn, "What I do with my husband is none of your business, okay?"
Finn gritted his teeth. When they were together, he resented Brittany's coldness but was too smitten to touch her.
Now, she belonged to someone else!
With his arm around Brittany, Isaac looked at Finn provocatively, "Brittany, let's roll."
He couldn't be bothered to deal with a love rival like Finn.
Isaac knew Brittany well. She would never look back.
Isaac started the car and drove out of the parking lot. Behind them, frantic honking rang out. Through the rearview mirror, Brittany saw Finn looking like he'd swallowed a lemon.
She raised an eyebrow and looked away.
No more glances for him.
What's to see in a guy like that?
"It's not about the money. We can't handle this."
The call was hung up. Finn gripped his phone, and with his eyes getting red, he said, "Mr. Dustin, they don't want to take the case."
"They don't?"
Robert, somehow, recalled what Isaac had said. That young man had also claimed no one would take the case, and his words came true.
"Finn, have you checked what Brittany's young man does for a living?"
"I did. He's just a regular guy."
Finn looked sullen. He was way better than Isaac. Why didn't Brittany choose him?
Robert thought he might be overthinking. That young man didn't even have a house. How could he possibly have the power to make the whole law community refuse the case?
"It might be Wesley's doing."
Robert clenched his fists.
