Chapter 661
Brittany stormed off, driving to a nearby bar. She dialed Hannah Chester’s number. By the time Hannah showed up
at the bar, Brittany had already downed a few
drinks.
“Bri, you should chill out on the booze.”.
Hannah knew that the Dustin Group was in a jam, but Brittany getting plastered wasn’t going to solve anything.
Holding her glass with teary eyes, Brittany asked, “Do you think I screwed up somewhere?”
She couldn’t figure out what she had done wrong to be repeatedly deceived by Isaac. He didn’t even treat her like
an individual but made decisions about their relationship on his own.
“The Dustin Group thing, my brother already knows, I…” Hannah thought Brittany was stressed about work and
tried to comfort her.
But Brittany shook her head, “Isaac and I got hitched.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHannah was taken aback, “Isn’t it a sham marriage?”
Brittany took a swig, the liquor burning its way down her throat. Her brows furrowed, “This time, it’s for real. I just
returned to the country, and he went to register.”
Hannah slammed her fist on the table and said, “What’s wrong with Isaac? Doesn’t he understand that you’re a
human being, not his private property? How can he treat you like that?”
A few drinks later, Brittany’s cheeks were flushed from the liquor.
She slumped over the bar table, “No one in this city dares to take the case. I can’t even get a divorce.”
Hannah gritted her teeth, paid for the drinks, and helped the drunken Brittany make her exit.
She took Brittany back to her place, not telling her parents about Brittany’s troubles for fear of worrying them.
She helped Brittany bathe, change into her pajamas, and put her to bed.
Brittany had had too much to drink and was feeling lousy.
Hannah went downstairs to make a hangover soup. As she was taking the soup upstairs, Lionel Chester walked in.
Lionel had just returned from abroad and looked worn out.
“Bro, when did you get back?” Hannah was surprised.
Lionel frowned, “Just got back from a business trip.”
“Bro, are you done with work? You’re married now. You should be at your own place.”
Moon Barton had already moved into their marital home. She thought Lionel hadn’t heard about that..
“It’s been a while since I’ve been home. I wanted to check on you guys.” Lionel looked at the hangover soup in her
hand and asked, “Did you drink?”
“No, it’s Bri.” Hannah shook her head, “She’s upset; she had some drinks, and now she’s resting upstairs.”
“Is it because of the Dustin Group issue?”
Lionel had heard about the Dustin Group problem while overseas. The issue was a tough nut to crack.
“Half of it.”
Hannah filled Lionel in on what Isaac had done, “Bro, Isaac’s acting like a lunatic. With what he’s done, even fighting
back is a problem for Bri.”
Lionel didn’t expect Isaac’s scheme to have gone so far. Clearly, Brittany being with William had threatened him,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand he was willing to go to such lengths to keep
her.
“What’s Bri planning to do?”
“She really wants a divorce, but here, everyone knows Isaac. If Isaac doesn’t want a divorce, no one dares to take
the case.” Hannah felt bad for Brittany.
Lionel, considering that Brittany had drunk a lot, gently patted her shoulder and said, “Go take care of her upstairs;
make sure she doesn’t throw up. If you can’t manage, get the maid to help.”
“Sure, bro. You should get some rest too.”
After Hannah went upstairs, Lionel sat in silence for a while, then dialed a number, “Lawyer Jolin, could you do me a
favor?”
“Mr. Chester, if it’s about Isaac’s divorce, I think we can skip the pleasantries.”
Jolin knew Lionel’s intention. She walked to the balcony, took a cigarette out of her bag, lit it, and took a deep drag,
“We all know that Isaac won’t let Brittany divorce
him.”
Lionel understood that, but what did Isaac’s intentions have to do with him?
“Lawyer Jolin, I think we can discuss this in detail. As long as you’re willing to take the case, whatever you want, I
can make it happen.”
