The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 655

When Brittany came back to Imperial City, it was the height of summer. Three months later, the city was already deep into autumn, as if it had transitioned overnight.

The road outside the studio was lined with trees.

Brittany stepped out of the studio after a busy day of work, only to find a black luxury car parked outside.

The car door opened, and Joseph was in the back seat, holding a dagger with its sharp tip exposed.

"Ms. Dustin, have you moved recently?"

Brittany looked at Joseph, her eyes wary. "What are you up to this time, Mr. Joseph? Planning to wreck my studio?"

His tactics were low, so she had to be on guard at all times.

Joseph leaned against the leather seat. “Ms. Dustin, do me a favor, will you?”

“I don’t think we’re that close.” Brittany cut him off.

"I'm getting engaged soon, and I want you to design the engagement jewelry."

Joseph got out of the car and slowly walked over to Brittany.

In some ways, he admired Brittany. She had built her own studio in Imperial City through her hard work and developed it step by step.

If Brittany could be more compliant, he would be happy to cooperate with her and even help her achieve greater success.

Brittany looked into Joseph's deep eyes and thought of Stella.

"Ms. Stella?"

"Yes, we've been engaged for quite some time."

He had been delaying the wedding, which had greatly displeased his family. This time, the family had set the date, and they had no room to refuse.

Brittany knew that Joseph was tough, but she didn’t dare refuse again.

"I need at least a week." She would need a week to complete the design.

"No can do." Joseph shook his head. "A week is too long. I can give you three days at most."

That was the most he could give.

Brittany pursed her lips. "Mr. Joseph, let's talk inside."

She had refused the acquisition proposal and was now an enemy of Joseph's. If she refused to cooperate now, she was afraid that Joseph would harm those around her.
