She walked past Loraine, ready to leave.
"Brittany."
Loraine called out to her, her face somewhat twisted. "Do you really know Isaac? Are you sure you want to give up five million for him? Is it really worth it?"
She knew that after Brittany was kicked out of the Dustin family, she must have been in desperate need of money.
Even though her studio had released very successful products, five million was no small sum!
Brittany didn't understand why Loraine was meddling in her marriage.
"Ms. Field, I may not fully understand Isaac, but I understand you even less. Whether or not our marriage lasts depends on us, not you."
Brittany didn't want to waste any more time and turned to leave.
Loraine stood in place. She couldn't believe that Brittany would give up a huge sum of five million for a man she had known for less than two months. Maybe she thought it wasn't enough.
Since she refused to settle, then she could only accept punishment!
Brittany returned to the restaurant. The food was already on the table.
Her steak had been cut into bite-sized pieces. It must have been Isaac's doing.
She sat down and smiled, "Thanks."
Isaac looked up at her, saying, "Enjoy it."
Brittany wanted to ask him about Loraine, but considering this was their first date, she decided not to.
On the way home, Brittany glanced at Isaac, unable to hold back any longer. "Isaac, do you know Loraine?"
Isaac didn't even look at her. "Kind of. What's up?"
Brittany bit her lip, unsure of how to ask. After a while, she shook her head. "I heard Grandma mention her before."
Grace had indeed mentioned Loraine during a phone call. Brittany didn't know what was said during that call, but Grace seemed very angry.
"Our family used to be quite well-off." Isaac worried she would overthink, so he explained, "Then some things happened, and we lost touch for a long time. I've seen her a couple of times since she came back to the country recently."
Brittany leaned against the passenger seat, looking troubled. "So, do you guys have any debts now?"
If they did, his pressure must be great.
