"What? Brittany and Isaac tied the knot?"
"Am I seeing things? Brittany is married to Isaac?"
"This has gotta be a joke!"
"Brittany and Isaac are public figures. If they got married, why didn't they announce it earlier instead of dropping the bomb now?"
"Is she trying to cover up her affair by swooping in and taking Isaac's real wife's place?"
"That's just sickening!"
After the announcement, the web was buzzing. Netizens were split into two camps.
One was shocked by their marriage; the other insisted they could never be married and even publicly blasted Brittany for trying to step into the shoes of the real Mrs. Salter.
Nestor was the most flabbergasted. He burst out laughing when he saw the announcement, "Brittany and Isaac are married? No way!"
If Brittany really was married to Isaac, why did they keep it quiet last night?
Nestor ordered his underlings to stir the pot. The controversy was spiraling out of control. Some were even publicly looking for the rumored Mrs. Salter.
Nestor applied pressure behind the scenes, causing many in the jewelry industry to dodge or even boycott Brittany.
Joie didn't expect Isaac to go public with the marriage. Fearing her whereabouts would be discovered, she didn't dare make a move.
Brittany thought everything would turn around after the announcement, but the controversy was getting worse.
Isaac contacted Twitter to have the related hashtags removed, but the controversy kept escalating and even got Grandeur Capital badmouthed.
After some thought, Brittany posted her first tweet since the incident.
“Woke up to find the news about Mr. Isaac and me making waves. First off, sorry for taking up your precious time. Secondly, Mr. Isaac and I really did tie the knot ten months ago. The rumored Mrs. Salter has always been me. We kept our marriage under wraps because we didn't want to bother everyone with our personal lives.”
Attached to the text were their marriage certificate and a photo.
In the photo, Isaac, clad in home clothes, was preparing dinner in the kitchen. His figure was bathed in sunlight, exuding an elegance that was hard to look away from.
The photo was taken by Brittany without Isaac’s knowledge.
"He not only lives in our community, but his car is only a little over 10,000 dollars. Mr. Salter has always kept a low profile." The informant kept going, "In fact, before this news broke, we had no idea he was Mr. Salter."
Netizens kept discussing. Those who had criticized Brittany before had all disappeared.
Their marriage certificate was out in the open.
Now, no one dared say it was fake.
The moment Brittany's announcement was released, Isaac finished work and rushed back to their apartment.
He walked in to find Brittany curled up on the couch, lounging in her home clothes.
Her pants were a bit short, revealing a small part of her ankle. Under the golden light, it looked beautiful, a sight hard to look away from.
Isaac walked over, crouched down, and held her hand, "I saw your tweet."
Brittany had a book in her hand. With one hand held, she had to put down the book and looked up at Isaac with her soft eyes, "You take care of the rest."
