The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 544

She should've known better. How on earth would a smart guy like Isaac ever seriously marry her?

Her marriage.

Her kids.

Her grandma.

All were part of Isaac's cunning plan!

Lucky for her, she never fell for it.

Before Joie left, she tossed a bank card on the table.

"Take this dough and scram, Brittany!" she said and left.

The door slammed shut behind her.

Brittany swiped everything off her desk in a fit of anger.

Brittany could tell he was worried. "I was a bit over the top last night. Now, I think it's a good thing. At least I won't have to go through a legal battle with him."

William was both amused and helpless.
