The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Chapter 1180

Yuri was on edge the moment he got wind of the news and immediately rang up Brittany: "Eltham has an illegitimate daughter?"

Knowing there was no hiding it, Brittany confessed. After all, the Queen had made a grand show of sending Twila to Star Elementary School and even assigned a personal butler to cater to her every need. How could such actions escape public scrutiny? "Yes."

"The royal family is pushing it too far. They've engaged you two, and now, at the eleventh hour, they bring his love child back into the picture. Isn't this a slap in our face?" Yuri was livid.

"Dad, please, don't get worked up," Brittany tried to stay rational. "It's not like I'm actually going to marry Eltham. Whether he has a daughter or not doesn't concern me."

"But do you realize how people are viewing you now?"

Yuri's heart ached for his daughter!

Brittany didn't need to guess to know she had become the target of public scrutiny. "Dad, I'm prepared for it."

Yuri sighed deeply, regret lacing his voice, "I never should have given in to sentimentality-"

If he had known Brittany would end up in this situation, he would rather have let the Lynette family face bankruptcy!

"Dad, please, don't blame yourself," Brittany consoled Yuri. "I don't care about public opinion."

After hanging up, Brittany dove back into her work.

Once the news of Eltham's illegitimate daughter broke, all of Craneville was abuzz with gossip.
