Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14

Brielle suddenly lost her appetite. She didn’t have the energy to listen to Spencer’s rage anymore. She went straight to her bedroom, changed her clothes, and stepped out.

Spencer was still in a raging fury, answering Lillian’s call at the same time. When he turned and saw Brielle heading out the door, he frowned, “Where the hell do you think you’re going this late? Can’t you show a little decency? Are you that desperate for a guy?!”

Brielle was already infuriated with his antics. “Whether I’m desperate or not, you wouldn’t know, would you? What’s the matter, I’m not allowed to find myself some company when you’re out with other sluts?”

Spencer’s pupils dilated slightly. In a fit of anger, he threw his phone towards her. “Say that one more time! Who are you calling a slut?!” Even now, he was defending Lillian.

The elevator doors had closed, and the phone smashed against the wall, spiderwebbing

the screen.

Brielle held back her frustration. Through the elevator glass, she could see the faint marks on her neck. She was so flustered by Spencer’s outburst that she’d left the apartment in a

low-cut top.

However, the thought that these marks were Max’s handiwork, a sweet revenge, was oddly satisfying. Everyone treated her like a pushover, but they never considered that one day this pushover would grow sharp teeth.

Feeling somewhat relieved, she got in her car, and right on cue, Aubree called. “Bri, asleep yet, or up for some drinks?”

Aubree had just returned from abroad. She was Brielle’s only real friend, and her nigh was always vibrant.

“You’re back in town?”

Starting the car, Brielle thought a drink might do her good. Her celebration had been so rudely interrupted, she’d simply celebrate elsewhere.

“Just landed. How did you handle that snake who dared to mess around with Spencer behind your back? Does she forget who funded her college tuition? The Haywood family! If I see her tonight, I swear I’ll tear her face apart!”

Aubree was fiery and never held back her words. When Brielle found out about Spencer’s affair half a month ago, she immediately told Aubree. At that time, Aubree couldn’t come back because she was abroad and cursed them out over the phone.

Given Aubree’s temperament, she’d have blasted them on social media, but Brielle convinced her not to.

Aubree, a heiress to the Clements fortune, had a wide social circle. One post from her, and

the entire elite community would know.

It wasn’t time to burn bridges with the Dorsey family yet. Besides, her current fling with Max was revenge enough. And this covert strategy was more effective than public. insults, it hit the Dorseys where it hurt

“How else could I handle it? Spencer’s been treating her like she’s the apple of his eye”

“Damn, has Spencer gone blind? What does he even see in that little damsel?”

Pulling up to Tequila Sunset, Brielle immediately spotted Aubree at the entrance. Aubree was dressed to kill, her allure starkly contrasting Brielle’s demure elegance, as vibrant as a blooming rose
