Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 270

Chapter 270 

A shadow of darkness flitted across her eyes. If that was the case, why couldn’t they get Lillian out? 

As Miranda mulled over this, her cell phone rang. It was Robert calling. Robert sounded irritated, “Where are you? We’ve got the full picture on Lillian’s situation. The police are adamant–as long as Brielle doesn’t crack, Lillian isn’t going anywhere.” 

A chill ran through Miranda’s gaze; it seemed she had been too lenient with Brielle earlier, and now she was still refusing to settle things privately. 

Robert’s next words deflated her completely. “Stay away from Brielle for now. The Haywood family’s clients have all been poached by rival firms, and they’re crucial to us. None of them. are taking my calls. I suspect Max is behind this. If it’s really him, then the Haywood family is in jeopardy. He’s taking it out for Brielle because of what Lillian did. Don’t stir up more trouble. Miranda’s vision went dark, her heart pounding at the thought of her recent actions. “Honey, are you sure? I heard Max left the country. Why would he care about Brielle?

family because of Brielle? But she had just spilled coffee on Brielle. What now? 

Catherine, seeing Miranda’s distress after the call, hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong?”
