His voice sounded raspy like there was a fire burning deep inside him. That scared the bejesus out of Brittany and made her step back.
Taking a deep breath, Brittany mustered up the courage, pushed Isaac away, and swung her bag at him. "Isaac, do you think this is cool? Don't you feel gross?
Why pretending that you care about me that much? What about me made you do so?"
Five years ago, she was head over heels for him. But now, five years later, what on earth did he want?
Isaac didn't dodge the bag hitting his face, and his cheek turned red. He riveted his eyes on Brittany, "I wasn't pretending. I can explain what happened five years ago."
"Explain what? Do you really think we can clear up our issues with some explanation?" Brittany scoffed.
After five years, Isaac's shamelessness had hit a new level.
"Isaac, if you want to explain, just bring back my grandma and Kyle Salter. Then we can talk!"
Because of him, she had lost the most important people in her life!
What gave him the right to stand in front of her and say that he could explain what happened five years ago?
A hint of sorrow in Isaac's eyes faded a bit. "I was wrong about your grandma's issue. I'll find a way to make up for it. I knew Leda was a suitable donor, but I withheld the information because I knew she wouldn't want to donate."
He knew Leda well. She couldn’t want to donate. Instead, she’d use this to bend him to her will. In that case, she could rightly inherit the Salter family’s fortune.
"Because you didn't want to give in!"
Brittany couldn't hold it any longer seeing him dig up the past. She threw her bag away, eyes red. "You knew how important my grandma was to me more than anyone. But you just stood there and watched the optimal time pass!
You didn't tell me just because you were afraid I would go to Leda and reveal your true identity. Did Leda offer you a deal in exchange for telling you those things?"
Isaac knew Brittany was smart, and he knew he couldn't hide the truth forever.
With all the secrets exposed, he stepped back with a pale face.
"Seems like I hit the nail on the head. How are you so sure that I would have agreed to her terms if I knew about it five years ago?"
