Chapter 531
“Brittany Dustin, are you out of your mind?”
A piercing scream echoed through the air. Brittany’s vision was blurred. She discarded the bottle in her hand with a smirk and said, “Buzz off!”
This arrogant man dared to confront her?
Hannah Chester was startled, then quickly stepped forward, shielding Brittany
James Palmer’s people called the cops. They arrived swiftly.
James was badly injured and was rushed to the hospital.
Brittany, however, was taken to the police station for questioning, with Hannah accompanying her.
Brittany was brought into an interrogation room. She answered all the police’s questions but was told she couldn’t leave the station until James’s condition stabilized.
Upon hearing about James’s injuries, Joie immediately rushed to the hospital.
“James, are you okay?”
James was awake. His head was bandaged, but it still throbbed with pain. He cursed, “Damn! That bitch Brittany, how dare she lay her
hands on me.”
A woman whom Isaac Salter dumped, yet still acting high and mighty?
“You and Brittany had a conflict?’ Joie never expected James to have a conflict with Brittany Wasn’t this a golden opportunity given to her by God?
“Yes”
James recounted the incident to her
Joie pretended to disapprove as she said, “James, how could you? Even though Brittany has broken up with Bro Isaac, she was still his ex-wife. You shouldn’t…”
James wasn’t scared of Brittany. A woman who depended on men, what was there to fear?
-“You know they’re swom enemies now. Brittany almost ruined Mr. Salter’s reputation with a video. Now that Brittany has lost her
backing. Id like to see how she dares to confront us, the Palmer family
This was exactly what Joie had been waiting to hear, but she pretended to be hesitant, “But James, she is still Bro Isaac’s ex-wife. Don’t go too far.”
James scoffed. He immediately had the Palmer family exert pressure on the police, demanding not to let Brittany go.
After leaving the hospital, Joie headed straight for the Salter Manor.
She had hoped to bump into Isaac but ran into Grace Salter instead.
“Granny, why aren’t you in bed yet?”
It was already eleven o’clock at night. Normally, Grace would have been asleep.
Grace was restless as she said, ‘I couldn’t sleep, so I got up. What brings you here?”
Jole thought that it would be more convincing to have Grace intervene in this matter than to involve Isaac.
“Granny, my friend got beaten up”
Jole’s
eyes welled up with tears. She laid all the blame on Brittany. She carefully expressed that she didn’t know who had assaulted James, but his injuries were serious, so she couldn’t let the perpetrator off lightly!
Grace remembered James. He had previously visited the Salter family and was rather polite.
Upon hearing this, Grace was somewhat angry as she said, “If they’ve assaulted someone, then they must be punished by law.”
“But I heard that the person might have some clout and connections…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll handle this.” Grace truly liked Joie. Seeing her friend being bullied, she couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
“Thank you, Mrs. Salter. I knew you loved me the most.” Joie said, supporting Grace. This made Grace very happy.
Brittany spent the entire night at the police station.
In the first half of the night, Hannah had been trying to bail her out through connections.
Thanks to the Chester family, the police were close to yielding.

But unexpectedly, just when the bail procedures were about to be completed, the police received a phone call from Grace.
Brittany sensed something was off.
Sure enough, the cop handling her case looked at her apologetically, “Brittany, I’m sorry. The Salter family said we can’t let you go.”
The Salter family?
Indeed. In the whole of Imperial City, who else had such power apart from Isaac?
Upon hearing the cop’s words, Brittany didn’t react and even found it somewhat amusing.
When she was at her most vulnerable, the Salter family was always delivering the fatal blow.
