The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 697

"Carla, could you leave us alone for a moment?" Grace had something to say to Brittany.

Barely concealing her resentment, Carla nodded and left with Daniel.

Ever since her return to Imperial City, Brittany and Grace had seen each other a few times. Their encounters had been far from peaceful, and today was no different.

"Did you do it?"

Brittany knew what she was asking, "It's right there in front of you."

"Why would you do this? Hasn't Zac been good to you?" Grace couldn't understand.

Brittany scoffed, "Madam, if it were you, would you let go so easily?"

Grace was taken aback. She didn't know much about the events five years before, but she couldn't confidently say she wouldn't have made the same choices.

"But I thought... I thought you could forgive him..." Grace remembered the first time she met Brittany. She was so gentle and kind. But then, Brittany was like a porcupine, covered in spikes and pushing everyone away.

"Madam," Brittany cut her off, "Do not do unto others what you would not have them do to you. If you were in my shoes, and you could forgive him, then you can judge me. Otherwise, please don't stand on a moral high ground and criticize me."

Grace went pale.

"I should be going. You should rest." Brittany turned to leave, but then stopped and looked back at the old woman. "I've already submitted the divorce papers. I don't want anything. I just want Daniel. If the Salter family refuses to let go, I have ways to get custody. You should think about how to persuade him to sign the papers."

As she left the room, Carla glared at Brittany, wishing she could tear her apart.

Brittany raised her hand, "Daniel, let's go."

Daniel took Brittany's hand, and they stepped into the elevator.

As the elevator doors closed, Daniel looked up at Brittany, "Mom, are you and dad getting a divorce?"

Brittany frowned, surprised that he knew. "How did you find out?"

"Aunt Carla told me." Daniel looked hopeful as he asked, "Is it true?"

Brittany crouched down to his level, "Let's find a quiet place and have a chat, okay?"

Daniel was smart, and some things were inevitably going to come out.
