The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 827

Isaac could see the storm brewing in Brittany's eyes. He stepped forward, attempting to soothe her.

"Don't you dare touch me."

With a forceful shove, Brittany pushed Isaac away, her eyes blazing with a fire that apologies could never quench. "An apology won't fix this. Joie needs to pay, and if you can't make that happen, I have no problem taking matters into my own hands!"

Struck silent, Isaac couldn't find the words to respond.

Brittany lost all interest in continuing the conversation. "I've got to work late tonight. You should head home."

With a pile of paperwork waiting on her desk, now that she was back on her feet, she was eager to dive back into the grind.

Isaac, concerned for her well-being, insisted gently, "Bri, you're not fully recovered yet. Maybe you should rest a bit more?"

"Don't. Touch. Me."

Her voice was a cold rebuke. "Until this is over, there's no need for us to see each other."

She couldn't let Joie off the hook.

Isaac had made his stance clear by siding with Joie, and that left nothing more to discuss between them.

Realizing Brittany wouldn't be coming home with him anytime soon, Isaac relented.

"Alright, just make sure you get some rest. I'm here whenever you need me."

Nathan drove Isaac to the studio and didn't leave right away. Instead, he lingered outside, hoping to catch a glimpse of Kari.

After waiting for over half an hour, Kari was nowhere to be seen. A quick question at the reception desk revealed she had clocked out hours ago.

Feeling somewhat let down, Nathan understood Isaac's point; if he wanted a future with Kari, he owed her an account.

But the thought of sending his own father to jail, or worse, was unfathomable.

Sitting in his car for what felt like an eternity, Nathan was about to leave when he saw Isaac emerge from the building, alone.

Without thinking, Nathan swung his car door open.

"Mr. Salter, where's Ms. Dustin?"

Isaac, surprised to find Nathan still waiting, cracked a half-smile. "Waiting for Kari?"

Nathan's cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
