The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 222

Everything about her, from her birth to now, was dug up and exposed.

Even Julie was slandered. These rumors flooded the world, unbeknownst to Brittany since her phone was turned off, but Hannah knew all about it.

This incident garnered a lot of attention, even the entire HR department started discussing it.

"I heard Brittany got into the jewelry design program at Imperial University when she was only 17 and aced every exam."

"What's the point of being a good student if she's a bad person? Ms. Field already apologized, but Brittany still tampered with the jewelry, causing Ms. Field to be hospitalized."

"Ms. Field is the real blue-blooded heiress. Even when she messes up, she apologizes. And Brittany is still hung up on it, even intentionally hurting others. If I were Ms. Field, I would've,"

Before she could finish her sentence, a slap landed on her face.

She was stunned, it took her a while to regain her senses. Holding her face, she was furious. "Hannah, have you lost your mind? How dare you hit me!"

Hannah couldn’t hold it back any longer. "I hit you. I apologize. Is that enough?"

She didn't feel the pain till the knife hit her own flesh. Brittany had been scapegoated for three years, and Loraine thought she could just sweep everything under the rug with a nonchalant apology? That's naive!

Remembering her own words, the woman shut her mouth. Of course, it wasn't enough.

"Hannah, we know you're close with Brittany, but it's a fact, the whole world knows she hurt Ms. Field."

"Do you think what you see is the whole truth?"

Hannah felt it was so unfair for Brittany. She didn't do anything, but was accused of so much. "You only heard Loraine's side of the story, and you're slinging mud at someone else. Have you ever thought about what you would do if the tables were turned?"

"Turned? How? The jewelry was made in Brittany's studio, she did it on purpose!"

That woman was always at odds with Hannah, now she was even more defiant.

The atmosphere was tense.

Derek had just come down from the top floor when he heard the noise. He walked to the office door and knocked, "why aren't you guys working during work hours?"

"Mr. Derek."

Everyone stood up straight. Derek was usually easy-going, but he was serious and strict at work.

He didn't know why, but he had been thinking about Hannah being upset all afternoon, so he decided to check on her.

"It's nothing."

Hannah didn't like to share her troubles with others, especially when it involved Brittany.

Derek stared at her face, "Ms. Chester, it seems like you don't like me?"

Hannah was speechless, "Do you think you are so important that everyone should like you?" Hannah mocked, "Mr. Derek, I heard you're close with Ms. Field. You better stay away from me during this period, or I can't guarantee what I might do."

She initially thought Derek was just a spoilt rich kid, but later found out he was pursuing Loraine.

Now that Brittany was being tortured by Loraine, Derek might be a part of it.

After those harsh words, Hannah got in her car, leaving a cloud of exhaust.

Derek stood there, stunned for a few seconds before he understood what she meant. Why did she mention Loraine? The tone, was she jealous???
