Chapter 181 

He undid the top two buttons of his shirt, maintaining a stern expression as he climbed into the 

waiting car

Patrick glanced at him through the rearview mirror, swallowing nervously before speaking up

Mr. Dorsey, aren’t we waiting for Ms. Brielle?” 

He had only just found out that Ms. Brielle was in the hospital, and was surprised to see Max leaving the Dorsey family gathering to be here in person

With his eyes closed, a rare trace of irritation crossed Max’s features. No need. She can handle herself,he said calmly, striving to regain his composure

Patrick pressed the gas pedal and dared not ask any more questions

Meanwhile, at the Dorsey residence, Michael and Jose were deep in conversation, quite pleased with the impending marriage between their younger family members and already contemplating setting a date
