Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185 

Patrick gripped the steering wheel with barely contained frustration. Ms. Brielle, please don’t sell yourself short.” 

Sell herself short

Did Patrick really think she was better than Lillian

Sure, she could admit that she was more capable than Lillian when it came to work, but when it came to charming men, Lillian had a natural gift

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have Spencer wrapped around her finger, acting like he was under some kind of love spell, or have Cameron willing to play the fool

Brielle lacked confidence in that department, so most of the time she just consoled herself by saying she was walking a different path than Lillian

Even if she looked down on Lillian’s mancatching tactics, maybe that’s exactly what the guys went for

She remained silent all the way to the Premier Palace, both of them engulfed in their own thoughts

Meanwhile, Lillian returned to the Haywood estate with a sour expression

Miranda couldn’t help but stand up when she saw her. Lillian, where have you been?” 

The Haywoods had just bailed Lillian out from the police station, and Miranda was on an emotional rollercoaster

On one hand, she couldn’t believe Lillian would do something so reckless, but the evidence presented by the police was irrefutable

She could only comfort herself with the thought that Lillian might have just taken a wrong turn, probably pushed to it by Brielle or set up by her

In any case, it had to be Brielle’s fault

Lillian sat down in a huff, pulling her collar straight. Mom, do you know? Brielle’s been messing around with Max’s driver. No wonder she showed up with Max that night.” 

As she spoke, her face was smug, her lips curling with scorn

Miranda’s eyes widened in disbelief, clutching her hand. Lillian, are you sure?” 

Of course, I’m sure. I just caught them outside. Brielle and that driver were sitting in the car, all loveydovey without Max. It was absolutely sickening.” 

Miranda’s feelings had been complicated, even feeling a sense of dread that Brielle might have a brighter future than her own daughter

After all, Brielle had earned significant acclaim at last night’s banquet, coming out on top

The only thing she seemed to lose was the engagement to Spencer, but it was clear that Brielle herself didn’t mind

Miranda had been worried that Brielle might have found a more powerful ally, but now, hearing she was involved with Max’s driver, she couldn’t help but smile

Lillian, you are our daughter. Don’t stoop to her level. Keep Spencer happy, and you can still marry into the Dorsey family.” 

Lillian wanted to say she was over Spencer, that she had bigger fish to fry, and that Cameron had promised to help her

Eventually, she would find a way to tie the knot with Max sooner rather than later

But she worried that voicing these thoughts would unsettle Miranda

She had long realized that the Haywoods were spineless in the presence of Max

Not just the Haywoods, but even Faith seemed like a junior before him
