Chapter 718
Hannah instinctively shielded Brittany, glaring daggers at Isaac.
If he dared to cause any trouble, she would have been the first one to knock his lights out!
After Isaac left, the engagement party officially began.
However, the person that was sent to find Stella came back empty-handed. His face was pale as he said, “We’ve
got a problem. Ms. Stella is missing.”
Stella was gone!
The Thorne family elders were so furious that they almost,had a stroke.
“That girl Stella! She actually ran out on her engagement party?!”
“Scoundrel!” The elders of the Palmer family were even more furious, smashing their wine glasses and pointing at
Mr. Thorne before storming off!
Joseph had probably anticipated that. With the bride gone, he wasn’t upset. Instead, he gave a knowing smile and
followed the Palmer family out.
It was a perfectly good engagement party, and Stella decided to run off.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Thorne family was utterly humiliated.
The guests were dismissed one by one, and Brittany’s group left.
Once they were in the car Hannah was still a little confused, “Bri, did Ms. Stella really run off?”
“It seems like it.”
News of Stella’s runaway bride act quickly spread throughout Imperial City, sending shock waves through the
internet!
When Brittany saw the news, she wasn’t surprised.
Stella was one of the hottest actresses in the country. Every move she made was under public scrutiny, and the
runaway bride act had become a sensation.
The Palmer family, without regard for their own reputation, exposed that Stella had found a new love.
It wasn’t a runaway bride; it was elopement!
The Thorne Group’s stocks plummeted, and several collaborations with the Palmer family were cut off, landing Mr.
Thorne in the hospital.
News of Stella’s elopement was sensational, trending on Twitter for three days, despite the Thorne family spending
a fortune trying to suppress it.
With the news making waves, the Palmer family seized the opportunity to take over some of the Thorne Group’s
stocks, causing instability within their ranks.
Three days later, Stella issued a statement announcing her retirement from acting.
The news of Stella, the once-popular actress retiring from the industry instantly blew up the entertainment industry.
Countless fans lamented, unable to bear Stella’s retirement.
Stella’s retirement caught everyone off guard, causing uproar in the film crew!
Brittany didn’t expect Stella to retire. She immediately contacted Stella, but the person who answered the call was
not her.
“Ms. Dustin.”
It was Thomas.
Brittany’s eyes flickered, “Thomas, what have you done? Is Stella okay?”
“Ms. Dustin, thank you for your concern. She’s fine.” Thomas’s voice was low and hoarse.
Brittany gripped the phone tighter, “Thomas, was it Stella’s idea to retire?”
Stella loved acting, but her retirement meant facing massive penalties for breach of contract, reaching up to nine
figures.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I’ll take care of the penalty, Ms. Dustin. Please, don’t contact us again.”
Thomas hung up the call, and when Brittany tried to call back, it was disconnected.
Following Stella’s retirement, the Thorne family was furious.
But somehow, within a few days, the Thorne family revived, never mentioning Stella’s name again.
Even the Palmer family seemed to have let bygones be bygones as if the runaway bride incident never happened.
Brittany couldn’t wrap her head around it, but before she could figure it out, another incident occurred.
Daniel was missing!
Brittany’s first thought was that it was Isaac’s doing.
Ignoring all objections, Brittany stormed into Radiant Residences!
“Isaac, come out!”
Emily couldn’t stop Brittany, “Ms. Dustin, you…”
“Can I help you?” Isaac heard the commotion and came down from the second floor.
Brittany grabbed his shirt. Her eyes were filled with desperation as she asked, “Where’s Daniel?”
“Isn’t he at school?” Isaac was taken aback, clearly not expecting Brittany to suddenly show up and question him
about Daniel’s whereabouts.
“You didn’t take him?” Brittany’s heart skipped a beat. She felt like a fish out of water, hanging on by a thread,
waiting for an answer.
