Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135 

Any man would feel a punch in the gut seeing a video like that of the woman he’s into, especially a man like Cameron, who always carried himself with a sense of pride and superiority. 

Lillian was truly panic–stricken this time, her eyes rimmed red with the pressure. Her gaze met Faith’s just as she was about to speak. 

“Lillian, you need to take the fall for this one. Cut ties with Spencer, and after a scandal like this, there’s no way Michael will welcome you into the family.” 

In a way, her words echoed Robert’s sentiments. Tears streamed down Lillian’s face as the reality hit her hard. “Faith, I—‘ 

“Don’t tell me you can’t bear to leave Spencer. Listen, if you don’t do what I say, you won’t see a dime in the future,” Faith said with clear impatience in her voice. 

That statement left Lillian speechless, a look of mortification dawning in her eyes. 

Robert and Miranda chimed in, trying to comfort her. “Lillian, don’t worry, we’ll make sure you get a hefty sum.” 

With Faith taking the lead, the three of them were now a united front. Lillian felt an unprecedented humiliation engulfing her heart; years of cunning planning, and it had all come to this. 

She couldn’t stand it. The injustice was unbearable! 

Her phone rang again. It was the orphanage director. Instinct told her it must be urgent. She answered the call with a sense of dread, only to hear the director’s anxious voice on the other end. “Lillian, someone’s come looking for our orphanage. There’s talk of a lady who lost her daughter years ago, and there’s a slight issue with your file. Come quickly to sort it out. If it’s really you, then Lillian, you might just be the bona fide rich girl you never knew you were.” 

Lillian thought she had misheard. “Director, are you sure you’ve got your facts straight?” 

“I’m dead serious, Lillian. They’re here, and we need to do a DNA test pronto. We can’t delay this.” 

Lillian wasn’t particularly interested though. She figured it was some rich family’s missing daughter. No matter how wealthy they were, they surely couldn’t hold a candle to the Haywoods or the Dorseys. 

A wave of despondency washed over her, her heart heavy with sorrow. Yet the director’s next words perked her up. “Lillian, they’ve asked me not to reveal their identity, but let me tell you, their family’s international standing is quite high, even higher than the Haywoods‘, and comparable to the Dorseys‘. They also have a son who has been searching for his sister all these years, which shows how deeply they care for their lost kin. If your records match, you won’t have to worry for the rest of your life. You’ll be in a position to help Bri then.”

International standing? That caught Lillian’s attention, her eyes lighting up with hope. “Mark, you’re telling me the truth, right?”
