The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 286

Brittany peered at her watch and then led the lawyer upstairs.

This was his first time at Brittany's place and he couldn’t believe that the Dustin family’s little princess was living in such a place.

It was a tiny two-bedroom apartment, way too small for his liking.

There wasn’t even a study room.

Suppressing his disappointment, he took a seat. Brittany poured him a drink, “Is the transfer procedure done?”

“It’s done.”

The lawyer nodded, “The current situation of the Dustin Group is quite dicey. Now that you’re in charge, the top priority is to secure a substantial cash flow.”

The Dustin family was not just in the jewelry business. They had other industries as well, all of them now in crisis with not a single penny to spare.

Brittany reached out, rubbing her brows, “Leave the documents. I’ll head to the Dustin Group next Monday.”

Just before the lawyer left, he glanced at Brittany as if he wanted to say something but held back.

"Mr. Carrol, is there anything else?"

Brittany noticed his hesitation.

"Ms. Dustin, if you hadn’t donated that money..." Mr. Carrol seemed to imply that if she hadn’t donated, the Dustin Group might still have had a chance to restart.

"What’s done is done. No point in dwelling on it now."

Brittany shook her head, "I’ve already made the donation."

She paused, then looked at Mr. Carrol, "Mr. Carrol, you used to work with my mom. Did she ever mention the Russell family?"

Robert had said on his deathbed that Julie Russell-Dustin was not a daughter of the Russell family.

Mr. Carrol was an old hand, and he had worked for Julie before. Maybe he knew some useful clues.

"Ms. Russell rarely mentioned the Russell family, but I’ve heard that when she married Mr. Dustin, it wasn’t by her volition."

"Not by her volition?"

That was totally opposite to what Brittany knew.

Ever since she was born, everyone said that Julie fell out with the Russell family, even hurting their feelings, just to marry Robert.

Mr. Carrol understood Brittany’s doubts. He sighed, "In reality, I’ve always felt that Ms. Russell didn’t really care for Robert. It seemed like she considered this marriage as a business deal."

Julie was the most composed and smartest woman he had ever met.

Brittany inherited her mother Julie’s traits. She seemed gentle but was full of pride deep down.

Mr. Carrol owed Julie a debt of gratitude and had always cared for Brittany over the years. So, he agreed, "I’ll do my best."

After Mr. Carrol left, Brittany stared at the chaotic state of the Dustin Group and let out a long sigh.

The Dustin Group was teetering on the brink, but thankfully, there wasn’t much external debt.

After careful consideration, Brittany chose Wesley as her partner. He had enough financial strength, and they had worked together before and knew each other well.

Brittany organized all the information about the Dustin Group into files and sent them to Wesley, also inviting him out for dinner.

But to her surprise, they had an unexpected guest at the dinner.

Wesley seemed quite pleased with the situation. He pointed to a man in the booth and said, "Ms. Dustin, this is Mr. Salter, the man in charge of Grandeur Capital."

"Mr. Salter, this is Brittany, the new CEO of the Dustin Group."

Brittany looked at Wesley in surprise, obviously wanting to ask why Mr. Salter was here.

Wesley looked quite pleased but didn’t answer.

Brittany gave Isaac a nod, and Isaac poured her a glass of water, setting it in front of her, "So Ms. Dustin, how much dough are you after?"
