Chapter 587
Nathan didn’t see it coming that Isaac was playing hardball. He clearly wanted to back the Dillion family into a
corner.
“The investigation is still underway; it might take a few days.”
“Got it.”
News of Isaac’s hospitalization spread like wildfire. Shona rushed to the hospital and seeing him still wrestling with
work while under the weather, she couldn’t help but frown. “Mr. Salter, you’re hospitalized and still dealing with
work?”
Without looking up, Isaac asked, “What’s up?”
Raising her eyebrows, Shona handed over an invitation, “Heard you were in the hospital; thought I’d drop by as a
business partner. I heard that Ms. Dustin is now part of the Dillion family.”

would’ve been flattened by him by then!
Isaac closed the file and stared at Shona coldly. Shona felt a chill down her spine and cleared her throat before
asking, “Could you not look at me like that?”
She was just stating the facts. He didn’t manage to tie the knot with his wife. Why take it out on her?
“Anything else aside from this?”
Shona walked to the bedside, pulling out a file, “You asked me to look into something from five years ago Five years
ago, when you had Brittany locked up, the only person she had contact with was Joie.”
“Joie?” Isaac thought.
He took the file and skimmed through it. In it, Joie had had several encounters with Leda.
Joie played a big role in Brittany ending up in Leda’s hands.
“What’s your plan for this?” Shona couldn’t wait to know how Isaac would deal with Joie.
When she was in a fake engagement with Isaac, Joie would often act arrogantly and rudely in front of her and then
cry to Grace behind the scenes, making Grace feel sorry for her and putting Shona at a disadvantage.
It was a good thing she wasn’t into Isaac, or having Joie as an opponent would be just her luck!
“Why should I do anything to her?”
“What do you mean?” Shona looked puzzled, “She hurt Brittany. Aren’t you going to retaliate?”
Isaac gave a nonchalant smile and replied, “You don’t need to worry about this anymore.”
Shona gritted her teeth, “You haven’t been brainwashed by her, have you?”
What was so special about her that even Isaac could be brainwashed? Even though he knew she hurt Brittany, he
still took care of her.
Isaac remained silent. And Shona, not wanting to stay any longer, turned and left
William and Brittany each went their separate ways, with Brittany negotiating with the banks. The Dillion family sold
several properties, recouping some funds.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDespite spending many years abroad, Randell had extensive domestic connections.
The bank’s senior management agreed to a loan. Although it was still a bit short of the required amount, it was
enough to alleviate the crisis at that time.
After a hectic week, the bank’s senior executives signed off on the loan agreement.
The crisis at the Dillion family was temporarily alleviated, and Mrs. Dillion prepared a dinner at home. Brittany and
William came back to the Dillion family together.
As soon as they entered, Brittany noticed that the living room was full of people.
All the family members gathered at the Dillion family. Seeing her arrival, Mrs. Dillion stood up to welcome her.
Compared to her previous coldness, her attitude was noticeably warmer this time, “You’re here.”
“Mrs. Dillion.” Brittany was holding a gift in her hand.
Mrs. Dillion signaled for a servant to take it, “We have a lot of people here. Let me introduce you.”
Brittany instinctively looked at William, who responded with a gentle smile, “They’re all my family. You’d have met
them eventually anyway.”
Brittany then followed her into the house.
Mrs. Dillion introduced everyone one by one, Brittany greeted them in turn, and then sat down under William’s
guidance.
