The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Chapter 1266

Could Old Mr. Malone be any more aware of what was on his grandson's mind?

"Ronald, just because I haven't stopped you doesn't mean I agree with your decision. Come back soon. The Malone family will go on without you."

"Grandpa, give me a week at most. I'll be back as soon as I can."

Truth be told, there wasn't much they could do about the trouble Brittany was facing. Kari had come over mainly to see Brittany.

One week should be more than enough.

Old Mr. Malone snorted, which Ronald took as a reluctant agreement.

Kari slept like a log and woke up to a call from Brittany.

"Kari, I'm alright. I'm staying with the Lynette family. We should meet up and have a proper chat."

Knowing she was safe, Kari breathed a sigh of relief: "Sounds good."
