The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

"Whack!"

A loud slap echoed, landing squarely on the woman's face, cutting off her words mid-sentence.

"You-"

Brittany shook her hand, her eyes ice cold. "First off, my son is my treasure, not something for just anyone to critique."

"Second, I've never thought about sending my son away, let alone abandoning him."

"Third, the affairs of the Salter family are none of your business. We still have Noel. Have you considered the consequences if your words from just now reached Imperial City?" The woman froze.

Noel was not only a well-known figure in Imperial City but his tales also spread throughout Craneville.

Known for being ruthless.

Crossing Noel would mean she could kiss her good days goodbye.

Piper hadn't expected Brittany to be so forthright.

Seeing the woman's plea for help, she intervened: "Ms. Lynette, she spoke out of turn. Please, don't take it to heart."

Brittany grabbed a wet wipe to clean her palm, her voice cold, "Ms. Walker, keep your people in check. If there's a next time, it won't just be the Salter family you'll have to worry about. The Lynette family won't let it slide either!" With that, Brittany strode away.
