The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 1106

Elliot led Brittany into the spotlight, his hand firmly holding hers. Brittany, already a natural in front of cameras, dazzled the crowd with her charm, earning adulation from many.

The queen herself looked on with evident admiration.

Elijah, having received an invitation, arrived at the gala just in time to witness this scene. His gaze instinctively sought out Isaac Salter, his eyes scrutinizing.

"Bad timing," he muttered under his breath.

Isaac's dark eyes landed on Elliot holding Brittany's hand. If looks could kill, Elliot would have been in dire straits. But in the next instant, Isaac's gaze cooled, becoming as serene as a still lake. "Mr. Ulbricht, let's focus on business first, shall we?"

"Mr. Ulbricht is here," someone announced, spotting Elijah's arrival.

Brittany instinctively looked towards Elijah and caught sight of Isaac. Dressed in a sleek black suit, his presence was imposing, his dark eyes hiding a world of thoughts. She instinctively pulled her hand back, meeting Elliot's surprised look with a smile. "Mr. Ulbricht has arrived. Let's go say hello."

Though Elliot was slightly displeased, he didn't show it. "Together."

They approached Elijah. "Bright Town," Elliot greeted, acknowledging their shared hometown. Elijah, lifting his glass, responded, "Long time no see, Elliot."

Elliot picked up two glasses of champagne, offering one to Brittany. "Bri, let's toast."

Brittany couldn’t actually drink alcohol. But under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she dared not reveal this fact. Just as she was about to accept the champagne, a hand swiftly intercepted. "Prince Elliot, I'd fancy this champagne. Perhaps Ms. Lynette and I could swap," Isaac suggested, placing a glass of orange juice in Brittany's hand.

He took a leisurely sip of the champagne, his eyes twinkling with amusement as he addressed Elliot, "Apologies, Prince Elliot, but I do enjoy a good drink. Please, forgive my forwardness."

Elliot, aware of Isaac's reputation and allegiance to Elijah, knew better than to take offense. However, the exchange between Isaac and Brittany didn't sit well with him.

Brittany, gratefully glancing at Isaac, then turned to Elliot, "I've been having some stomach issues lately; can't drink."
