The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 1283

Ronald excused himself to the restroom.

Predictably, Isaac followed close behind. He was puzzled, "The Malone family is already eating out of your hand. Why push it to this extent?"

Ronald turned on the faucet, letting the cold water slip through his fingers, "I couldn't care less about what the Malones have."

"Even without the Malone family, I wouldn't let Kari be mistreated."

A look of admiration crossed Isaac's handsome face as if he had an epiphany, "If you're ever interested, you're welcome to join forces with me anytime."

Ronald's knack for business was undeniable.

Even Isaac was looking to poach him.

Sadly...

Ronald's aspirations lay elsewhere.

"Kari and Mrs. Salter are very close. I think it's best our relationship remains purely personal."

Mixing business with personal affairs only leads to trouble down the line.

Kari cared about Brittany.

He wasn't interested in financial entanglements.

Isaac caught on to Ronald's intent, a touch of regret in his voice, "If you ever need a hand with anything, just give me a call."

...

After that dinner, Kari started helping Brittany plan her wedding.

She was pregnant but didn't slow down on the wedding preparations.

Ronald watched her buzz around Brittany, feeling a twinge of jealousy.

"You really enjoy planning her wedding that much?"

Late at night, he wrapped his arms around Kari's waist, kissing her neck reluctantly.

Kari was drenched in sweat.

She could sense Ronald's discontent.

She turned around, locking eyes with him, and said clearly, "Brittany means a lot to me."

"When I was at my lowest, Brittany gave me a job opportunity. She taught me so much..."

Brittany held a special place in her heart.

She was framed and couldn't even get her diploma.

If Brittany hadn't given her a chance at Bri-jeweled Studio, she wouldn't have everything she has now, let alone manage to survive.

Kari's words were straightforward.
