Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 262

Chapter 262 

Lillian was manhandled into the police station, and by the time she was seated on the icy metal. chair, every inch of her was shivering with cold, her teeth chattering uncontrollably. Yet, inside. a flame of resentment threatened to engulf her whole being. 

Upon hearing the cops call the Haywood family, she leapt from her chair, snatching the mobile phone from an officer’s grasp. Surprise flickered across the officer’s face, clearly taken aback by her audacity. 

As soon as Lillian saw the number on the screen, she knew exactly who was on the line. Scrambling to marshal her thoughts, she was desperate to convey everything she knew. “Mom, the whole town’s buzzing about Spencer’s disappearance, right? Well, I know where he is. Brielle’s got him, she’s kidnapped him. You gotta tell Faith, pronto!” 

Miranda, on the other end of the line, couldn’t believe her ears. Brielle, kidnapping Spencer? Why on earth would Brielle kidnap Spencer? 

“Mom, it’s the truth, I swear. Last night, Spencer and Brielle checked into a hotel together, stayed the whole night. He hasn’t come out since. How could he possibly be missing unless Brielle’s hiding him somewhere? I even sent pictures to Max, and you know what? Max blocked me. I think he’s blind as a bat, he must not realize his own nephew’s been nabbed. You gotta- Her voice choked off as if something had suddenly blocked her throat. That was right, she had sent so many photos to Max, and initially, he hadn’t blocked her, which meant he received the pictures. With Spencer’s disappearance causing such a stir, the Dorsey family had already filed a police report. Max must be in the loop. He knew this was connected to Brielle, clearer than anyone else. Yet he remained silent, even went so far as to block her. 

Back at the hotel, the manager hadn’t misunderstood her; he knew the truth but feigned ignorance, all of them covering for Brielle. All because between Spencer and Brielle, Max chose Brielle. 

Lillian felt a dull ache in her chest, a rage so intense she wanted to carve Brielle into pieces. 

How could Brielle be worthy of Max’s attention? Could it be that Max had fallen for Brielle? 

The thought ignited a destructive fury within her. 

What she couldn’t have, she would destroy. Never would she allow that wench Brielle to get her hands on it. 

“Also, Mom, tell Faith that Brielle is Max’s mistress, and they’re an item. Max is deliberately overlooking the whole Spencer kidnapping situation.” 

Miranda’s head was reeling, convinced Lillian had lost her mind. “Lillian, didn’t your dad say we shouldn’t tell the Dorsey family just yet? Otherwise-” 

“Mom!”

Lillian roared with a mix of despair and anger. “Do you really think Brielle’s gonna help us? If she secures Max’s heart, she’ll turn on us in a heartbeat. We can’t let her get any closer to Max.” 

Miranda felt utterly panicked, unable to decide. After all, it was Robert who always called the shots in the family. “Lillian, calm down. I’ll get you out of there first, then we can talk, okay?” 

Lillian’s seething subsided a notch. Of course, she couldn’t stay cooped up in the station forever. Even if she were charged with attempted murder, the Haywood family’s wealth would bail her out. She sneered. Did Brielle think she could topple her that easily? Dream on. 

An officer had already wrestled the phone from Lillian and cuffed her hands, cautioning her against further outbursts. 

Lillian sneered again. With the Haywood’s influence, she’d be out in no time. Just wait and see. 

Meanwhile, Brielle had finished dealing with the room card, somewhat surprised that the hotel manager had shown no reaction to Lillian’s outburst.
