The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 977

For years, Yuri had been without a direct heir, and the vultures in the family had circled his wealth relentlessly. Even if they couldn't claim it all for themselves, they skulked around, hoping for a decent cut to secure their lives in comfort.

Then, out of the blue, Brittany swept in, inheriting all of Yuri's assets, sending shockwaves through the family tree.

Now, they were using the pretext of Yuri's impending divorce to target Brittany, to bring her down a peg.

The younger relatives who had been targeting Brittany shrank back, dreading being on the wrong side of Yuri's wrath. If he cast them out of the Lynette family, how would they maintain their cushy lifestyles? The more timid ones even considered seeking Brittany's mercy.

Brittany, unfazed by their pettiness, replied coolly, "I'm fine."

Yuri, understanding her pride, glanced around with icy disdain. "Brittany is my daughter, my only daughter at that. Anyone who dares cross her from now on can pack their bags and leave the Lynette family!"

The younger Lynettes felt the ground shift beneath them.

"We're all family here, what's wrong with speaking our minds?" Dylan, resentful of Yuri's favoritism towards Brittany, grumbled, "Even if she's your only daughter, she's still just a daughter…"
