Dauntless God Of War novel Chapter 296

Just as expected, Brittany's frosty voice instantly rang out from behind him.

“I...”

Harold was at a loss for words.

He couldn't say anything positive to assuage her in front of Isabella, whereas a negative response would definitely ignite Brittany's anger given her temper.

Sandwiched between the both of them, Harold fell into a dilemma.

“Shouldn't you know better than anyone else? Back then, you treated Harold like dirt and only cared about your brother. When he went on to lead a better life after leaving you, you became jealous and demanded that he pay you compensation for breaking up. Are you here to try to salvage your relationship with him? Have you forgotten what I told you back then at Fortune Real Estate?”

Feeling indignant over how Brittany was pressuring the innocent Harold and also for Marilyn's sake, Isabella held nothing back.

She stood between the two of them and lashed out at Brittany by listing every single unreasonable act the latter had committed.

“You...”

Brittany was rendered speechless by Isabella's criticism.

Upon hearing the exchange, Mandy quickly came forward. “Can both of you stop assuming? Brittany is here to register her marriage with her partner. Brittany, hurry up and give Eren a call to see where he is.”

Back then, Isabella had declared that if Brittany was to cling to Harold again, she would take back the breakup fee and send men to teach them a lesson.

And now that Benson was in James' and the mysterious VIP's good books, the Turners were not to be trifled with.

Mandy would have already hurled a tirade of abuse at Isabella if not for that.

Because of her mother and Isabella, Brittany had no choice but to call Eren.

“Eren, where are you? Weren't we supposed to meet here at nine-thirty? Do you know what time it is already?”

After walking to the side, Brittany vented her frustrations to Eren, who had yet to show up.

“Brittany, I'm almost there!”

Shortly after the call ended, a lanky young man who was dressed untidily crossed the street over to their side.

“I'm sorry, Brittany. I was caught in traffic. What's going on here?”

The young man named Eren Sinclair apologized the moment he approached Brittany.

He gave off the same obsequious vibe that Harold had shown toward Brittany back then.

That was the reason Brittany could accept him begrudgingly, as she could see Harold's shadow in him.

After getting used to someone, she felt it was difficult to change.

“If it wasn't because you were late, my mom and I wouldn't have had to wait for you, and I wouldn't have run into my ex-boyfriend and been accused by his ex-wife of trying to steal him. You should tell them that I'll never go back to a kept man like him once we have broken up!” the sullen-looking Brittany ordered Eren while pointing her finger at Harold and Isabella.

In reality, there were two reasons she said those words. First, she wanted Eren to stand up for her.

Back when Harold was with her, she had never been embarrassed in public before, as he would always defend her honor despite being poor.

She wanted Eren to give her the same sense of security as Harold had.

Second, she was indirectly reminding Eren of his place as a live-in son-in-law who was financially dependent on them. She wanted to make a point that she was forced by her mother into the marriage and that he shouldn't have any illusions of her developing feelings for him.

When the lanky Eren heard her words, a look of displeasure flashed across his face.
