Chapter 370
Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)
âCan you believe Spencer has a twoâfaced act going on?â
âI was skeptical when Brielle mentioned it, but seeing is believing. The second Brielleâs out of the picture, he turns Into Mr. Ice. Looks like heâs got it out for her.â
âA guy acting like that? Thatâs just low class.â
âTeam Brielle all the way. At least sheâs upfront and genuine. Letâs wait for the police to sort this out.
Spencer was unaware of the live stream capturing his every move. He might have restrained himself had he known.
After instructing security to escort certain individuals out, Spencer cast a chilling glance at the onlookers.
âWhatâs everyone staring at? Donât you have jobs to do?â
They all knew him; he was from the Dorsey family, after all. No one dared to talk back.
The person secretly streaming quickly shut it off, but not before Spencerâs sudden switch in demeanor was broadcasted clear as day, cementing his reputation as a total jerk.
Meanwhile, Simon and his group were ushered downstairs.
Seeing that Brielle hadnât faced any repercussions yet, Simon grew impatient.
âWeâll just wait here in the lobby. Thereâs no way that bitch is getting off scotâfree!â
The itch of frustration crawled up his scalp as he eyed the Dorsey International lobby, grand as a palace. His fists clenched with greed.
or If they could get Dorsey International to pay off this mess, he wouldnât have to worry for the rest of his life.
Simon didnât spare a thought for his daughterâs welfare. In his eyes, she was nothing more than a financial drain, a bad investment that had yet to net a wealthy husband.
The only silver lining was the ten million they landed. Otherwise, raising her wouldâve been a complete waste.
Simon felt a cloud of bad luck looming as they settled into the sofas, determined to corner Brielle again.
No sooner had Simonâs rear hit the cushion than his phone buzzed with an anonymous text.
[Keep it up.]
Three short words, but he knew exactly who sent them. His body shook, and without hesitation, he stood up and began shouting throughout the Dorsey International lobby.
âPoor Sarah, you died so tragically. That heartless Brielle just left us high and dry. What kind of world is this?â
Simonâs wife, Sue, knew the drill. Sensing that their benefactor wasnât satisfied, she joined in the commotion.
Her tears were real; soon enough, a crowd gathered downstairs at Dorsey International.
Journalists smelling a story swooped in for interviews.
Sue was sharper than Simon. She had heeded advice on how to sway public opinion.
She used words like, smallâtown girl, prestigious university, and the crush of capital.
Each keyword added weight to the public sentiment.
Even as some speculated about the coupleâs motives, the death of their daughter and their genuine grief couldnât be ignored.
Public opinion once again swayed, and concerned citizens soon converged at Dorsey Internationalâs doors, demanding that Brielle be handed over.
Standing in the lobby, Spencer smirked as he heard the angry chants against Brielle.
She deserved it!
Women like Brielle ought to be put in their place!
He stepped into the private elevator with a sneer, only to bump into William.
William, ever the picture of benevolence, patted Spencer on the shoulder.
âSpencer, I hear Brielleâs been taken in by the cops?â
Spencer nodded but was caught off guard by Williamâs next question, âHas your Uncle Max said anything?â
The question sent a chill through Spencerâs spine.
What was his uncle implying? Did he know about Brielle and Max all along? m Humiliation bit at Spencer, his teeth nearly grinding to dust.
Seeing how his casual question ignited Spencerâs rage, William smiled slyly.
âSpencer, when you talked about marrying Brielle, I wanted to advise you. Sheâs not worth it. Better move on sooner rather than later.â
Tasting bitterness, Spencer realized his greatâuncle knew of Brielleâs affair with Max and was subtly warning him.
How foolish he had been to announce his intention to marry Brielle in front of the Dorsey family. like a clown performing for an uncaring audience.
âThat woman is definitely not worth it. Rest assured, Iâm over her.â
11:01 Spencer had to make Brielle pay for her betrayal.
William raised an eyebrow, his smile faint yet knowing. Another player like Spencer in the game. would only thicken the plot.
âMax, what will be your next move?â
