She was now completely disappointed in the Dustin family, how could she continue to help Patrina?
Patrina lost her cool. Her entrance into the semi-finals relied entirely on bought designs. In the end, she found Brittany’s design to be the best fit, otherwise, she wouldn’t have approached her.
"Patrina."
Brittany saw that she seemed to genuinely want her to return, so she deliberately said: "Alright, kneel down now and beg me, then I’ll consider to continue to help you."
Patrina immediately became furious, "Brittany, have you lost your mind? You're telling me to kneel? Have you lost your mind—"
Brittany stood up, swung her hand, and slapped Patrina, who was scared and quickly backed away: "Don’t you dare touch me!"
"Don't want to be hit?" Brittany scoffed, "Then get out!"
Patrina was taken aback and stormed off angrily.
"Brittany, what do we do now?"
Kari was young and couldn’t help asking, "Was it really Mr. Salter?"
"You said it yourself, Mr. Salter is busy with work. Why would he care about a small employee like me?"
Brittany thought it was impossible. Compared to Mr. Salter, Sydney and Loraine were more likely suspects.
Kari opened her mouth but held back her words.
At a fancy restaurant.
Wesley poured a glass of water and slid it across the table to Isaac. "I heard Brittany is also participating in the Crown Jewel Design Challenge?"
Isaac picked up the glass, noticing his particular interest in Brittany. "Yes."
"With her abilities, she should make it to the semi-finals, right?"
Wesley knew Brittany's capabilities. She single-handedly held up the entire Dustin Group. Unfortunately, she was discarded by the Dustin family.
Isaac shook his head, indicating he wasn't sure, as he rarely returned to the apartment these days.
His grandmother had always wanted to meet Brittany. It seemed they have to have dinner together this weekend.
"After all, she's your wife. You should care about her more."
Wesley shook his head, thinking that Isaac’s indifference must have broken his wife's heart. He better brace himself for the future!
Isaac returned to his room and dialed Nathan's number. "Look into this Crown Jewel Design Challenge. Who's stopping Brittany from participating?"
Nathan quickly replied, "It's Frank, the deputy director of the design department at VelvetGlow Jewellery."
"Got it."
Brittany finished her pasta and was about to get up when suddenly her phone rang.
She felt a tug at her heart and quickly answered.
"Hello, is this Miss Brittany?"
A strange female voice asked. Brittany responded, "Yes, it's me."
It seemed like a work-related call.
Brittany instinctively wanted to avoid it, but she knew better than anyone that avoidance wasn't the right way.
She heard the voice from the other end of the phone. Brittany bit her lip, hardly daring to listen to her words—
