Brittany stared at Isaac in shock. "How... How did you know?"
"I have my ways." Isaac replied. Watching Brittany run around for Lionel's wedding recently made him feel extremely annoyed. His hand played with her long hair. "When the wedding's over, come back to Salter Manor with me."
"No." Brittany pushed Isaac away and straightened her dress. "I don't need to play along with you."
"Even if you don't like me, you know Grandma has always been good to you." Isaac spoke in a low voice. "She's always blamed herself for not raising me right and for hurting you. Don't you want to see her?"
Brittany's grip on the door handle tightened slightly.
During her time with Isaac, Grace Salter had indeed treated her well.
"I hope Grace is well." She said.
Brittany pushed open the door, ready to leave.
But she saw Lionel and Moon standing at the end of the corridor. Their expressions didn't reflect the sweetness and harmony of a newlywed couple; instead, they seemed a bit off.
Brittany closed the door immediately, not wanting to eavesdrop, but their conversation came through the door anyway.
"Lionel, have you booked your flight?"
Lionel glanced at his wristwatch. "Yeah, it's at seven tomorrow morning. I'll be away for about a month. Take care of yourself during this time."
Moon looked a little upset. Her newlywed husband was going away for a month, but she had no chance to refuse.
"Okay, I will."
"If you don't like staying with the Chester family, you can live alone."
Lionel's life was tightly scheduled; he hardly had any time for himself, even though he had just gotten married.
Moon was a very independent woman; she had her own career. For her, a honeymoon seemed like a waste of time.
"I heard you gave some shares to Brittany?"
"Yeah, I've discussed it with my father." Lionel nodded. "Don't worry, these shares won't affect our relationship. And you will also receive some shares."
