Chapter 478
“Dad’s hit the nail on the head.” Lionel Chester echoed, Bri’s under tight surveillance, we can’t get to her. Our feud
with Isaac is just making things more complicated.”
Hannah slammed her fist on the dining table, her eyes welling up, “What the hell do we do now?”
Brittany had just lost her kid, and there was Isaac, proposing to someone else. If word got to her, she would have
definitely lost her crap.
Lionel was at a loss too.
In the face of absolute power, all struggles seemed pointless
The Chester household was in a total mess, while the Bennett household was all sunshine and rainbows.
The Bennetts were over the moon about that marriage. They were throwing a grand party.
Isaac was his usual cold self, but the Bennetts didn’t give a damn.
After some small talk, the marriage was basically a done deal.
When Shona saw her parents satisfaction and the grumpy faces of her uncles, she felt a strange sense of pleasure.
After dinner, Isaac refused to stay over.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter he left, Shona’s father turned to Shona and said, ‘Mr. Salter and Brittany..”
“Dad, don’t sweat it, he’ll handle it.”
Shona affectionately held her father’s hand and said, “Just get ready to pay the bill and attend my engagement
party”
Shona’s uncle sneered, ‘Shona, you’re not breaking up someone else’s marriage, are you?”
Who didn’t know Isaac was married?
Shona shot him a look, Uncle, before you judge me, think about how many wives you’ve had. How many women do
you’ve got on the side?” She continued, “The engagement with the Salters is a done deal. Instead of giving me a
hard time, why don’t you go check up on your pregnant mistresses and see if their kids are actually yours?”
That particular uncle was the most promiscuous and unfaithful to his marriages.
Left speechless by Shona’s rebuke, he was fuming.
Shona’s mom worriedly added, “Handle Brittany well, don’t leave any loose ends.”
“Got it, mom.”
Hospital
At 8p.m., the show started.
Brittany switched on the TV, and her bodyguard prepared her favorite fruits and a drink.
“Mr. Salter will come to the hospital to keep you company later, just chill and enjoy the show.”
Brittany lost her appetite at the news, but she knew there was no avoiding it.
After the bodyguard left, Brittany picked up a strawberry and took a small bite. The sweet and sour flavor filled her
mouth, infusing her with an irresistible strawberry aroma.

clear her mind,
The bodyguard was gone, probably for dinner.
Gossip floated over from the nurses’ station.
“Did you see the news? Mr. Salter is apparently getting engaged”
“Which Mr. Salter?”
“How many Mr. Sakers could there be? I can’t believe it, he seemed so nice to Ms. Dustin. How could he sneak

“Who in the high society ever gives their heart? Their kid is gone; they’re probably getting divorced.”
Brittany was too far away to hear the vague Mr. Salter. She didn’t pay it much mind, took a few laps around the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhallway, and went back to her room.
The show was still on, but she felt nothing but emptiness.
She walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, taking in the snow-covered city. Despite the heavy snow, nothing could
dampen the festive spirit of New Year’s Eve
Cars zipped through the streets and the city was decorated with various ornaments. The whole place was buzzing
with joy.
Brittany was lost in the view when suddenly a warm coat was draped over her, and a deep male voice said, ‘Didn’t
