The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart (Brittany and Isaac) novel Chapter 1156

Eltham made his stance loud and clear!

The Queen couldn't believe her ears: "You—"

"Mother, since the whole town's already buzzing about Bri's pregnancy, let's skip the engagement and head straight to the wedding."

Eltham, blood trickling down his forehead, made this bold declaration and then stormed off.

How could the Queen possibly agree?

"Eltham!"

"Mother, I'm the sole heir." Eltham turned back, "You know very well that what I set my mind to, I achieve."

"An incident like the one eight years ago will not happen again."

The Queen shuddered, realizing he knew everything she had done... including driving Hestia away.

"You—"

"Mother, all you need to do is acknowledge the child."

Eltham left with determined steps.

The Queen covered her face, speechless for a long moment.

...

Piper waited outside, rushing up to Eltham as he emerged: "What happened to your head?"

Before she could touch him, Eltham slapped her across the face, his eyes filled with disdain: "I thought I made it clear, don't harbor feelings you shouldn't have!"

Piper was stunned, tears streaming down her face: "Eltham, we grew up together, thirty years, isn't that worth more than half a year with Brittany? I'm looking out for you, she's the one who betrayed you—"

"What betrayal? The child is mine."

Eltham stood firm: "Piper, cherish the time you have now."

Piper was shocked, unable to believe Eltham was indeed acknowledging Brittany's unborn child: "Have you lost your mind? What's so great about Brittany that you love her this much? Even to the point of acknowledging a bastard!"

Piper was frantic, "What am I lacking?"

Eltham's gaze was cold, devoid of any emotion.

He walked past Piper, heading downstairs.

The butler, seeing the blood on his head, was alarmed: "Your Highness, are you alright?"

Brittany was also shocked to see him injured.
