Chapter 337
Tiffanie strode over, a wide grin spreading across her face as she snatched the safety helmet. and plopped herself into the driver’s seat. “Hey, buckle up! We’re off to see Brielle.”
Mason’s cheeks were still flushed, but the cool breeze wafting through the valley quickly dissipated the heat. He glanced down at the ground, now far below, and the corner of his mouth lifted ever so slightly.
It was a faint smile, but Tiffanie caught it. She chuckled along, making a mental note to tell Brielle later. After all, Tiffanie was about to snag herself a bona fide gentleman.
After hanging up with Tiffanie, Brielle told Wesley she needed to head back. Wesley wore a look. of consternation. “Ms. Brielle, Mr. Dorsey said to walt for him here.”
But Brielle shook her head. “Wesley, I’ll explain it to him later, but right now, I really want to go back.”
Seeing that he couldn’t stop her, Wesley reluctantly arranged for someone to drive her back to Pearl Estate.
On the way, Brielle gazed blankly out the window, lost in thought. Once home, she took al moment to relax on the sofa.
After whipping up a simple snack for herself, she powered on her laptop, forcing herself to get some work done.
All told, her various cards currently held a total of around two hundred million dollars.
Mason’s company was still in its infancy and not yet profitable, but this amount of funding was more than enough to get started.
She rubbed her tired eyes, knowing that the company’s future growth was what mattered most. She needed to draft a detailed plan.
At ten in the evening, her living room doorbell rang. When she opened the door, there stood Tiffanie and Mason.
Mason was holding a modest gift from the supermarket, while Tiffanie’s hands were empty. Her smile was wide and carefree.
“Good evening, my friend! I’ve been up in the mountains, spreading some love by feeding the wildlife,” Tiffanie declared with her usual whimsy.
As Brielle ushered them in and turned to pour some drinks, she caught Tiffanie slyly touching. the tips of Mason’s fingers. Her lips twitched in amusement. Mason discreetly scooted away. creating some distance. Ever since the helicopter ride and that forehead kiss, Tiffanie had been strutting around with pride, as if she had a tail wagging to the sky.
Pretending not to notice the exchange, Brielle brought over the drinks, only to hear Tiffanie dive into gossip. “So, I heard Kenzo’s in trouble. Is that true?”

Chapter 137
Brielle’s grip twitched at the news. Who could have leaked that information?
Max was supposed to keep things hush–hush and prevent the news from spreading.
Settling down with a feigned calm, Brielle hid her bruises beneath her clothes. After resting earlier in the day, her energy had returned, along with her cool composure.
Tiffanie sighed dramatically. “Kenzo was one of my favorites–so gentle and talented. Such a shame. If the rumors in the circult are true, the Barnes family is going to flip, aren’t they?”
Brielle’s heart pounded as if it were about to leap from her throat.
Sharp as ever, Tiffanie noticed her reaction. “Hey, Brielle, you don’t have anything to do with Kenzo’s disappearance, do you?”
