The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 1144

"Yeah, Bri's been under the weather lately. I got a doc to look after her," Eltham said, trying to keep the worry out of my voice.

Eltham's smile was warm and reassuring. "Don't fret, we're getting on just fine."

The Queen, knowing him to be a man of discretion, nodded in approval. "That's good to hear."

Leaving the royal residence behind, Eltham's smile vanished, his demeanor turning dark and twisted. "Spread the word that Isaac is still alive!" he commanded.

"Also, it's time Mabel's death became public knowledge."

...

That same night.

The news that Isaac was still among the living spread like wildfire through Craneville!

Isaac and Brittany's marriage was the talk of the town before his mysterious disappearance, and many were genuinely saddened by the news.

Now, with Isaac's existence revealed, the townsfolk were buzzing with gossip about a possible love triangle involving Isaac, Brittany, and Eltham.

Piper, upon hearing the news, confronted Eltham. "Eltham, have you lost your mind? The whole world knows Brittany and Isaac are married. You exposing this, have you thought about the royal family's reputation?"

But Eltham wasn't the one who had let the cat out of the bag.

Pouring himself a cup of coffee, Eltham took a sip before replying, "Weren't you the one who dug this up?"

"Even if I hadn't exposed it, you would have, right?"

Piper was taken aback.

Eltham set down his coffee cup. "So what if he's alive? I'll make sure he knows that even in life, he's no match for me."

Piper felt a chill run down her spine. This was not the Eltham she knew. He was far more dangerous and unsettling, yet she found herself unable to speak up.

"This was your doing, not mine," Eltham said with a dismissive air.
