Chapter 827

Isaac could see the storm brewing in Brittany’s eyes. He stepped forward, attempting to soothe her.

“Don’t you dare touch me.”

With a forceful shove, Brittany pushed Isaac away, her eyes blazing with a fire that apologies could never quench. “An apology won’t fix this. Joie needs to pay, and if you can’t make that happen, I have no problem taking matters into my own hands!”

Struck silent, Isaac couldn’t find the words to respond.

Brittany lost all interest in continuing the conversation. “I’ve got to work late tonight. You should head home.”

With a pile of paperwork waiting on her desk, now that she was back on her feet, she was eager to dive back into the grind.

Isaac, concerned for her well-being, insisted gently, “Bri, you’re not fully recovered yet. Maybe you should rest a bit more?”

“Don’t. Touch. Me.”

Her voice was a cold rebuke. “Until this is over, there’s no need for us to see each other.”

She couldn’t let Joie off the hook.
