After hanging up the phone, Isaac turned to Brittany and said, "Cool down, okay?"
Brittany was an easygoing person, not one to lose her temper easily. She chose to trust Isaac, sticking to the principle of mutual trust between husband and wife.
"All right."
"What was that call about?" she probed gently.
"Work-related stuff."
Seeing him unwilling to talk more about it, Brittany didn't ask further.
Like always, Isaac prepared breakfast. After eating with Brittany, he dropped her off at the Dustin Group.
Then, he drove to Imperial University.
Joie got into trouble at school, getting into a fight with a classmate, and getting hit on the head. She was now at the administration office.
Once Isaac arrived at Imperial University, Joie's eyes lit up immediately.
She hurried over, looking all pathetic, and grabbed Isaac's hand, "Bro Isaac, I'm so glad you're here."
Isaac took a step back.
The smile on Joie's face froze.
The Dean, who was familiar with Isaac, nodded slightly, "Mr. Salter, we've sorted everything out. Both parties are to blame, but it was Ms. Joie who threw the first punch."
Joie's wound was already bandaged, making her look fragile.
She bit her lip as if she wanted to say something else.
"Bro Isaac, I know I shouldn't have hit her, but the things they said were so hurtful…"
They said she was living off men, and the men she was with must have families!
She was not that kind of person!
"Okay." Isaac cut her off, "Let's leave it at that. If the other party needs an apology or compensation, then do it."
Joie bit her lip in dissatisfaction, "I get it."
The female classmate who had the conflict with Joie was standing aside. Seeing Isaac, she looked a bit weird.
After Joie apologized, she also apologized and then left.
Isaac left with Joie.
