"Mom, I think Carla is a good girl, I don't want to see her hurt."
William sat in his wheelchair, looking a lot better than before but still pretty beat.
Mrs. Dillion became emotional; he was a good man who was kind to all.
But what did that get him?
He ended up disabled, and Brittany couldn't even give him a second glance.
William remained silent.
He lowered his head, seeing a message from Brittany: "Happy birthday, William."
"I've been kind of swamped recently, so I couldn't visit you. After the New Year, I'll take some time off to accompany you through your rehab."
“After the New Year...” William thought. He then calculated and found out that would also be around her due date.
"No need to come, just take care of yourself."
William turned off his phone. After all, Brittany was married then. He needed to keep his distance.
He didn’t want to stir up any trouble.
After receiving William's rejection, Brittany was feeling a little depressed, and thinking about his legs made her feel even worse.
For several days, Brittany was in low spirits.
Then, word came from the Field family that their investment project had tanked, and Jason had lost all the money he invested.
In no time, news of Randell's failure spread across the city, and Jason was so angry he nearly had a stroke!
He stormed into Randell's office, livid, "Randell, are you trying to screw me over? Didn’t you say this project was a sure thing!?"
Randell stood in his office, his visage ice-cold as he spoke, "Mr. Field, I warned you about the risks of investing, but haven't I helped you make a fortune?"
"I also advised you to think carefully about this investment."
It was Jason who was greedy, investing over and over again.
Jason knew Randell was right, but since the investment had failed, he couldn't recover any of the money he put in. How could he feel okay?
With the investment failure, Jason suffered a huge loss.
The news caused the stock price to skyrocket, and Brittany made a killing.
Brittany watched the stock price soaring, then turned to Randell sitting next to her and said, "Randell, about Jason..."
They always tried to hide their relationship, but not anymore.
She was worried Jason would find out their secret.
"Don't worry, Jason can't do anything to change the situation!" Randell poured her a glass of water, then thought of Isaac.
"After the New Year, I'll go back home and start a financial investment company if Isaac is willing to come over."
"Randell, are you trying to help him?"
Brittany's eyes lit up, but thinking about Isaac's personality, she shook her head and said, "Isaac won't come."
"If he's willing, I'll treat him well."
Brittany stayed in Randell's office until the afternoon when Isaac came to pick her up.
