Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218 

Lillian’s face twisted in anguish as she spoke, her voice choked with emotion. 

“How can there be any doubt? I saw it with my own eyes last night. Max actually cares for Brielle. How could this be? That bitch! How did she manage to do it? Max is such a figure.” 

She couldn’t get another word out as her voice broke down in sobs. 

Robert was just as shocked because Max was always seen as the pinnacle of business royalty. a man so high up the social ladder that women couldn’t even dream of a casual conversation with him, let alone closeness. How could a man like that be entangled with Brielle, especially since she was Spencer’s ex–fiancée? 

Robert still worried that Lillian might have been mistaken. “Lillian, Brielle is Spencer’s ex, and Max wouldn’t get involved with her. Are you sure you didn’t just see what you wanted to see?” 

Lillian’s face contorted even more, her chest heaving with emotion. “Max himself had me use his phone to personally call Brielle. How could I be mistaken? That whore! I wish she would just disappear.” 

Besides cursing Brielle like this, she really didn’t know what else she could do. The mention of Spencer seemed to reignite a spark in Lillian, her face brightening with a vindictive satisfaction. “Dad, if Michael finds out about Brielle and Max, could he make her disappear from 

Beaconsfield?” 

A hint of hesitation appeared on Robert’s face, then it seemed like he came to a realization. “We shouldn’t tell Michael about this just yet. Lillian, after all these years you’ve known Brielle, she must have been really upset to cut ties with us. She’ll come back to the Haywood family eventually. As for her and Max, if she managed to snag him, that’s her skill. You could learn a thing or two from her.” 

Lillian was in disbelief, staring wide–eyed. She was already a mess, with swollen eyes, and now her twisted expression made her look almost ghostly. 

Miranda and Cameron couldn’t believe what Robert was saying either. They started to argue but stopped when they saw Robert stand up. “For years, the only woman who’s ever caught Max’s attention has been Brielle. His engagement to the Barnes girl hasn’t even been set in stone. If Brielle can get Max to call off that engagement, she’ll be the future Lady of Dorsey International. Who would dare cross her then?” 

The two were about to retort but clamped their mouths shut, their fists clenched in frustration. They knew Robert was suggesting they cozy up to Brielle. 

Seeing no objection, Robert continued, “Brielle’s always had a soft heart. How could she hold no affection for the Haywood family? And with a grandfather who loves her, if she doesn’t want to see him hurt, she wouldn’t dare push too far.” 

Brielle hadn’t visited the old man in the nursing home, opting instead for a caregiver, partly because she feared he would ask about the Haywood family. Not wanting to lie to this kind.

elder, she had chosen to keep her distance – a weakness that Robert was willing to exploit. 

Robert felt a surge of pleasure, initially thinking Brielle would end up with someone like Connor. It’s a surprise that she managed to potentially bag a bigger fish. 

As soon as he left, Lillian completely broke down, smashing everything left on the coffee table. “Mom, can you believe what Dad’s saying?” 

Miranda’s face was etched with worry, but if Brielle really was with Max, they indeed wouldn’t dare provoke her. 

“Lillian, your father is looking out for you. You should focus on how to win Spencer back.” 

The mention of Spencer brought back a humiliating memory, and Lillian began to cry again. 

With a sigh. Miranda got up, catching Cameron’s eye, and left the room.
