The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Brittany never imagined her past would come back to haunt her like this: "Is it about me and Zakky, or me and Caspian?" "Caspian."

Yuri said ominously, "Seems like someone's been plotting this."

Clearly, someone was targeting Brittany!

Her first thought was Eltham, but then she dismissed it. It couldn't be.

Eltham wouldn't risk a scandal at such a crucial moment, not with the royal family's reputation on the line!

"Dad, I got it."

After hanging up, Brittany opened her social media apps.

Her feed was flooded with news about her dating Caspian.

"Oh my god, Brittany actually dated Caspian too?"

"What kind of blockbuster soap opera is this? Her ex is the heir to Grandeur Capital, the talk of Imperial City, and her past boyfriend controlled Craneville like it was his playground. And now, she's engaged to a royal?"

"Brittany, please, start a masterclass; I'd attend on my knees!"

"Forget classes, weren't Brittany and Caspian dating when she already knew Prince Eltham?"

"So, she's juggling men?"

"That's Brittany for you, completely played out by men. I don't get what they see in her!"

"Bitter much, above?"

"Caspian's Elijah Ulbricht's right-hand man. The Ulbricht family's rise to power wouldn't be the same without his behind-the-scenes work!"

"Is it just me, or do Caspian and Brittany actually make a good couple? And looking at the photos, they've been dating way before the Lynette family's scandal. Remember when the Lynette family and the royals announced their engagement...coincidence?" That comment was quickly deleted.

Seems like the royal family caught wind of this news too.

Eltham saw the news feed and instinctively said, "This has nothing to do with me."

He wouldn't be so foolish!

Brittany was surprised but then said, "I know it's not you."

Eltham took out his phone, called his assistant, "Suppress all news immediately, yes, dredge up old news if you have to-"

He whispered a few words, hung up, and then looked at Brittany, "I'll get the media frenzy under control as soon as possible."

Brittany was about to respond when Eltham's phone rang again.

This time it wasn't his assistant.

It was someone from the queen's circle.From NôvelDrama.Org.

Eltham's expression changed, realizing trouble was coming. He stepped back and answered.

Whatever was said on the other end made Eltham's face darken: "I'll sa it again, she's my fiancée, and won't let anyone touch her!

"Yes, I won't bring her back."

The queen, clearly infuriated, sharply retorted, "Eltham, are you defying me?"

Eltham didn't want Brittany to hear this and walked upstairs.

"Mother, you should know well that I'm not the same person I was eight years ago; I won't let you harm my people."

The queen, as if choked, trembled, "You...you're still blaming me?"

Blaming her for driving Hestia out of Craneville.

"I should thank you." Eltham stood

by the window, his gaze dark, "If it weren't for your intervention, how

would I have met Bri? How could we have gotten engaged?"

The queen, trembling with anger, "If I had known this day would come, I would never have stopped you!"

Even if Hestia was not ideal, she wouldn't have made Eltham so brazenly defy her!

"Too bad, it's too late."

"Bring Brittany back now!"

The queen had more to say.

Eltham refused.

"If you refuse to bring her back, don't blame me for taking action against the Lynette family!" The queen was desperate. Eltham paused, "I understand."

After hanging up, Eltham changed

into a sharp white suit and went downstairs to find Brittany stille awake: "My mother wants to meet you."
