The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 781

Did Joie really cause Daniel's tumble? But why did Daniel claim to have fallen on his own?

Brittany's blood was boiling. She was on the brink of storming over to give Joie a piece of her mind.

But a shred of rationality kept her rooted in place. She took a deep breath, striving to keep her cool.

"Brittany, calm down. Rage isn't going to solve anything."

She needed to devise a plan that would make Joie pay a painful price!

Brittany quietly slipped away, no longer in the mood to attend the wrap-up party and left the scene.

Once she got into her car, Brittany gripped the steering wheel so tightly that her entire body was trembling.

After an indeterminable amount of time, Brittany's thoughts were interrupted by a phone call.

She thought it was Isaac, but a glance at the screen revealed it was Zella.

Brittany picked up the call.

"Did you send me that email?" Zella's voice was calm and collected.

Brittany didn't bother to hide the truth. "Zella, we're friends, after all. I didn't want you to be deceived."

Moreover, considering the numerous rumors circulating, Zella might have been aware of them already.

Indeed, Zella did.

"What do you want, Brittany?"

Zella felt guilty towards Brittany. She approached Brittany with a purpose five years ago, yet Brittany had been genuinely kind to her.

"Zella, how about striking a deal?” Brittany suggested, “You want Marcel, and I want Joie to pay for what she did. We can work together."

Zella hesitated, "What do you have in mind?"

"She's accepted a new series, which was funded by Grandeur Capital. I'm sure you know what to do."

Zella was silent for a moment before finally giving in, "OK. This is a compensation for my actions five years ago. Don't contact me again after this."

They were never meant to be on the same team, but she also didn't want things to get ugly with Brittany.

"Your dad knows it?"

"Yeah, he already taught that bad lady a lesson."

Daniel was no fool; he wouldn't just take a hit lying down.

Brittany recalled hearing about Joie losing several endorsements and scripts recently. So, Isaac had been pulling strings behind the scenes.

"I'm sorry, Mom." Daniel knew he shouldn't have kept it from her, "I was afraid you'd get into a fight with the bad lady. I didn't want you to be upset."

Brittany knew her son's thoughtfulness and pinched his cheek, "Darling, you're the most important person to me. You can't keep things from me, okay?"

Daniel opened his mouth, his eyes sparkling, "I understand."

Brittany kissed Daniel, made him dinner herself, and sat with him until he was full. She then told him a story and put him to bed.

After tucking Daniel in, Brittany dialed Isaac's number.

But there was no answer on the other end.
