The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 261

She still wanted to resist.

Isaac glared at Derek as if he'd run out of patience. "Derek, from this moment on, if Loraine screws up again, you're going down with her!" He turned and stomped off.

Hannah was seething at Loraine and Derek. She flipped them off and stormed out too.

Derek stood there, feeling pretty lousy.

Loraine was still crying in his arms. She didn't seem like she wanted to apologize. Derek's head was throbbing from her sobbing, and he looked dead serious.

"You promised me you wouldn't hurt Brittany again. Why do this?" he challenged.

Loraine was taken aback that Derek would confront her. Her eyes immediately welled up.

"Loraine, I know you're not into me. You only married me because of that night," he said with a heavy heart. He'd noticed Loraine's recent behavior, and it dawned on him that she'd changed.

"I won't force you to stay married to me.

But if you do want to stay married, don't hurt Brittany again or pull stunts like this."

Taking a deep breath, Derek let go of Loraine. "I've got things to handle. I'm off. You think about it."

After he left, Loraine, in a fit of rage, trashed the room.

That night, under Jason's pressure and persuasion, she posted a public apology video.

...

Brittany woke up feeling warm.

She was looking at a man's bare skin. His hand was on her waist, gripping her so tightly it was as if he wanted to meld her into him.

She tried to move, but her lower body was numb from his weight.

At her movement, Isaac woke up, opened his eyes, and kissed her gently behind the ear. "You awake? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

After sleeping, Brittany felt much better. "I'm fine now."

Isaac sat up, wrapped her in a blanket, and carried her to the living room, "How about some soup?"

At that moment, Brittany realized she was hungry. "Yes, please."

Isaac went to the kitchen. Brittany picked up her phone and noticed a bunch of unread messages.

No wonder she always felt Isaac was different from others.

"Sorry, Zakky, I didn't mean to pry. I was just curious," Brittany realized she might have offended him.

Isaac took her hand. "There are some things I'll tell you gradually once I've dealt with the current issues."

Once he completely drove Manuel Salter out of Imperial City, he could take Brittany back to Salter Manor.

Brittany thought it was work related, so she didn't think much of it. When she saw Loraine's apology video, she felt even sweeter.

"Would Derek be mad about what you did?"

She didn't want their long-established friendship to be ruined because of this.

Isaac was touched. Even though she was the victim, she still considered others' feelings.

He leaned in to kiss her.

Suddenly, a phone rang urgently. Brittany saw the caller ID, instinctively pushed Isaac away, and picked up.

"Ms. Dustin, Robert has identified her. Gianna Terrill is suspected of premeditatedly murdering Julie Russell-Dustin. Can you come over now?"
