Brittany possessed the kind of beauty that turned heads and the competence that commanded respect. It was a shame that her eldest grandson hadn’t been fortunate enough to bring this outstanding young woman into the family fold.
As Brittany watched the elder lady climb into her sleek black sedan, she turned on her heel.
At the same club, Yuri had just wrapped up a meeting, seeing his clients off with a personal touch that spoke of his attention to detail.
In his youth, Yuri had been strikingly handsome, and years of navigating the challenging waters of business had only added to his aura of quiet strength and gravitas. Now, he exuded an air of power that was almost palpable.
His business partners regarded him with a mix of reverence and caution, their demeanor tinged with a hint of wariness.
As Brittany made her way back to the private room, she happened to cross paths with Yuri.
Flanked by his assistant and secretary, Yuri and his entourage exuded undeniable presence.
"Looks like that's one of the Lynette family," someone whispered cautiously.
Brittany cast a glance at the man leading the group; he had an intimidating air about him, suggesting he was not to be trifled with.
As if by some telepathic signal, Yuri suddenly looked up, his gaze landing on Brittany and the pearl earrings she wore.
In an instant, Yuri felt dizzy, as if struck by lightning.
That face- it was almost the spitting image of Juliana's!
And those pearl earrings – he had seen Juliana wear a pair just like them!
Before he even had a chance to process his shock, Yuri strode towards Brittany, his eyes eager. "Miss, could you please take off your earrings and let me have a look?"
If he remembered correctly, Juliana had a pair just like them.
Startled, Brittany replied with a hint of surprise in her voice, "Sir, why do you want to see my earrings?"
Yuri's gaze was fixed on the pearls. "A friend of mine had an identical pair. May I have a look?"
Perhaps it was Yuri's urgency that made it hard for Brittany to refuse him. She took off her earrings and handed them to him.
Yuri's warm palm cradled the earrings as he examined them closely. They were identical to Juliana's.
