The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 453

"Brittany, why'd you push Joie? Her heart's dodgy."

Brittany froze in her tracks.

Just as Joie said, Grace didn't hesitate to back Joie up.

Brittany’s refusal to speak made Grace feel a pang of disappointment. She called for Emily and the house staff. Together, they helped Joie downstairs.

Before leaving, Grace shot Brittany a disapproving look, "Bri, has Joie done you wrong? She's already apologized. What more do you want?"

Brittany's last ounce of hope in Grace dissolved completely.

She had never been unconditionally trusted by anyone.

Be it her parents or anyone else.

She turned around, retreating slowly into her bedroom, "Think whatever you want to think. I'm beat."

Grace had never seen Brittany like this. It took her by surprise.

Just as she intended to probe further, Emily came upstairs to relay that Joie's injuries were severe and she needed to be rushed to the hospital.

Emily wasn't sure what had transpired, but having spent a lot of time with Brittany, she didn't believe Brittany would hit someone for no reason. So she tried to defend Brittany.

"Mrs. Salter surely didn't mean to. Let's go check on Ms. Joie first."

Worried about Joie, Grace headed downstairs.

Joie had a noticeable wound on the back of her head, so Grace immediately got a driver to take her to the hospital.

As Joie was being helped into the car, she weakly clutched Grace's hand, "Nana, don't blame Bri. She didn't push me on purpose..."

Grace's heart melted. This silly kid was still looking out for Brittany even now?

She patted Joie's hand reassuringly, "Don't worry. I'll get to the bottom of this. I'll make it right."

Emily, sitting in the passenger seat, looked rather uneasy. Ms. Joie seemed to be pleading for Brittany but was actually making sure Grace blamed Brittany for what happened. The truth couldn't be that simple.

After they left, Brittany applied some essential oil and then climbed into bed.

Just as she was settling in, the bedroom door was pushed open.
