The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 994

"Everything... all of it went to Brittany?"

Such a vast fortune handed over to an outsider, how could they swallow that?

"Where is Brittany?"

"It's none of your business where she is," Noel leaned forward, his hands braced on the desk, his gaze icy. "I'll say it once and only once. Keep your greedy thoughts off my brother's estate."

The relatives turned pale, fear etched on their faces. It took them a minute to realize that Noel wasn't the little boy they remembered.

He had grown up. He was becoming more and more like Isaac—no, even more ruthless!

After the Salters had left, Noel slumped into his chair, burying his face in his hands, remaining motionless for a long time. He didn't want to grow up; he wanted Isaac to be alright.

...

Daniel left the city a week later.

Noel cleared his schedule, packed Daniel's bags, and drove him to the airport. "Daniel, call me and don't forget me, okay?"

Clutching a batch of Emily's homemade cupcakes in his arms—afraid that Craneville wouldn't have his favorite flavors—Daniel nodded.

"Uncle Noel." His voice wavered, "I'll come back soon, with Mommy."

"Good." Noel gave him a gentle squeeze on the cheek, still in denial about Isaac's passing. "Take care of your mom. Make sure she doesn't get sad, got it?"

Daniel nodded vigorously. "I will."

Before boarding, Daniel hugged Noel tight, whispering with determination, "Uncle, Daddy will come back."

Noel's heart clenched. "Yes, he will."

In front of the child, he couldn't let the tears fall. Handing Daniel to the bodyguard, he instructed, "Take good care of him."

"Don't worry, Mr. Salter."

The bodyguards, all loyal to Yuri, treated Daniel with utmost respect.

"Little master, let's go."

"Bye, Uncle Noel."
