These pearl earrings were the bee's knees. She gingerly took out the pearl earrings, which shimmered in the sunlight. The pearls were perfectly shaped and clear. Their design and cut were so avant-garde that they won't go out of style even today. Instead, they had a vintage charm.
Brittany didn't expect to find such a pair of valuable earrings among her mother's belongings.
She carefully cleaned the pearl earrings with a special tissue, then cleaned the inside and outside of the brocade box before putting the earrings back in and closing the lid.
She put all of Julie's belongings back where they belonged, taking only the pearl earrings.
She locked the pearl earrings up. They were the only thing from her mother that could accompany her for a long time, so she decided to hide them.
Brittany had been spending most of her time in the countryside. Hannah wanted to visit her several times but was delayed by work. When she heard Brittany was back in Imperial City, she rushed over after work.
"Bri, you're finally back. Is Donna okay?" Hannah hugged Brittany tightly, and Brittany felt soft and comfortable.
"Gran's fine." Brittany said.
Not trusting the situation, she invited Dr. Laurs' team to stay in the old house to take care of her.
Dr. Laurs was fascinated by A country and was also an excellent florist. He hit it off with the old lady. They often admired the flowers in the garden, getting along very well.
Hannah breathed a sigh of relief but still clung to Brittany, "Bri, you have no idea, the media went crazy when you left."
The whole world found out Robert was cuckolded, the daughter he adored wasn't his. And Brittany, whom he had always calculated against, was his real daughter.
More importantly, he publicly condemned Julie for adultery, only to find out he was the one who cheated and was cuckolded. What went around came around!
Brittany saw some online comments, but she didn't want to say anything about it.
She pinched Hannah's face, "Staying for dinner?"
"That'd be great." Hannah said.
Hannah had been craving a good meal for a long time. She followed Brittany to the market and bought a bunch of ingredients.
"Mr. Salter hasn't got off work yet?" Hannah asked.
Even if he was handsome, disrespecting others and making unilateral decisions wouldn't win her over.
Brittany didn't mention that she had just seen the old lady today, as their conversation should not be revealed to a third party.
"Aren't you usually all about looks?" Brittany asked.
"Even if I do care about looks, I wouldn't like a guy like that." Hannah rolled her eyes, "He's a typical macho man."
Brittany suddenly laughed.
At Grandeur Capital.
Outside the conference room, Nathan was waiting for Isaac to come out. Since the press conference, Isaac had not spoken to him. He knew Isaac was angry.
The door of the conference room opened, the executives came out one after another. Isaac sat in the main seat, looking a bit tired, rubbing his brow. The seven-hour-long meeting was indeed physically draining.
Nathan poured a cup of coffee and handed it over, "Mr. Salter."
