The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 508

Derek watched him walk away, a feeling of unease suddenly creeping into his heart.

There was always a hunch that beneath that seemingly tranquil lake, the waters were actually choppy and turbulent.

...

Brittany returned to her hotel, and as soon as she walked through the door, she got a call from William Dillion. "How's it going, Bri?"

Brittany replied, "I'm making some progress. The top brass at the bank are willing to have a chat with me."

That matter was giving Brittany a headache. She slipped off her high heels, padding barefoot on the carpet. "It's just that their attitude is a bit vague."

"Take your time. Should I come over if needed?" William had been expanding his business abroad for years, and his company was doing quite well. If he were to step in, the bank would definitely grant the loan.

"Nah, William, I want to try and sort this out myself first."

Brittany hated to trouble others, especially William.

She already owed him so much; she didn't want to pile on more debt.

The more debts she had, the harder it was for her to stand on an equal footing with him and give him the affection he yearned for.

William was slightly disappointed. After all those years, Brittany still refused to accept his help. He felt helpless, but he also knew that this was just Brittany's character.

"Alright, I won't interfere."

Changing the subject, William brought up Katelin. "Katelin misses you."

Brittany laughed. "Alright, I'll be back soon."

Before hanging up, William asked casually, "Bri, have you seen Zac yet?"

"I have." Knowing she couldn't hide it from him, Brittany answered honestly. "I went to a dinner party tonight and saw Mr. Salter."

William's expression shifted slightly. He knew how much Brittany used to like Isaac, and he worried that seeing him again might stir up old feelings.

"William, I know what I'm doing." Sensing his concern, Brittany spoke softly, "It's getting late. I should rest."

"Alright, we'll talk tomorrow."

After ending the call, Brittany put down her phone. Through the window, she could see the entire city sprawled beneath her feet, and she stood high above, looking down over everything.
