As Brittany and Hannah were chatting and having their meal, they were planning to go for a walk in the afternoon.
Hannah unintentionally saw Finn.
She furrowed her brows instinctively.
“How could I meet Finn no matter where I am? " She thought. "What bad luck!"
Finn didn't find Brittany in the private room, returned to the lobby, saw Brittany's back, and walked over quickly. "Bri."
He grabbed Brittany's hand: "I know you like sunflowers, so I bought this bouquet especially for you."
The sunflower bouquet in his arms was vibrant and radiant.
Brittany didn't expect Finn to approach her again. She pulled her hand back and said firmly, "Finn, wasn't I clear enough? It's over between us. You betrayed me before, and now, what's the point of acting so devoted?"
Finn was unwilling to give up. "Bri, I truly like you. I was wrong about everything before."
At this moment, Hannah chimed in sarcastically, "And what about Patrina Dustin? You were almost engaged to her! If you've always liked Bri, what does Patrina mean to you?"
"I never liked her. I only love Bri," Finn immediately declared his loyalty. "She deceived me into thinking she saved me, which is why I ended up with her. But now I see clearly, I love you."
Patrina, who had rushed over upon hearing the conversation, was furious. She slapped Finn across the face. "Finn, you were the one talking about marrying me. Now you say you never liked me? Are you cheating me?"
Finn, having been slapped, didn't back down. He pushed Patrina away, his face contorted in anger. "If it weren't for your constant temptation and deception, why would I be with you? Why would I make Bri upset?"
Patrina clenched her fists and glared fiercely at Brittany. "You must be feeling pretty smug, watching Finn argue with me because of you!"
Sydney stood by, observing the drama, with no intention of comforting anyone.
Brittany took Hannah home and returned to her own apartment. She received a message from Isaac saying he would be at his grandmother's house that evening. Brittany replied that she understood and then got back to work.
The Crown Jewel Design Challenge was approaching, and the news of Grandeur Capital becoming a sponsor had spread. After the recent acquisition of VelvetGlow Jewellery, it seemed like they wanted to make a name for themselves in the jewelry industry.
Though Grandeur Capital was widely known, the person in charge remained extremely secretive. Many media outlets tried to get interviews, but none succeeded.
As time passed, rumors about the true owner of Grandeur Capital continued to surface, and even Kari Malone became interested.
"Brittany, did you ever meet the CEO of Grandeur Capital during your time at VelvetGlow Jewellery?" she asked.
Brittany's hand, which was sketching a design, paused. "No, I didn't, but Hannah works at Grandeur Capital, and she's met the CEO a few times."
