Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 381

Chapter 381 

Brielle couldn’t help but doubt the sincerity of the woman before her. After years of blind devotion, how could she suddenly see the light? 

Was Sue just probing her? 

Before Brielle could respond, Sue continued to mutter to herself. 

“It’s all my fault. I’ve ruined everything, my parents, Sarah… I kept thinking Simon would change. for the better. I’ve invested so much. Quitting now would be like abandoning everything I’ve worked for, right?” 

A flicker of understanding crossed Brielle’s eyes. Staying with a guy like Simon was like playing the slots in Vegas. Once you started, you couldn’t pull yourself away because you were convinced that the next pull might be the jackpot. That tantalizing taste of victory was addictive, and the rollercoaster ride of highs and lows was overwhelmingly disorienting. 

So, of course, Sue wouldn’t snap out of it that quickly. Others must have warned her about Simon before. 

Her current confession was nothing more than a test for Brielle. But at least, Brielle thought, Sue was starting to think for herself. 

“Sue, after you leave the precinct, check this place out,” Brielle said, handing her a scrap of 

paper. 

Sue instinctively stepped back, her guard up. She clearly didn’t trust Brielle. 

Brielle had no patience for further talk. She tossed the note and walked away. 

The address on the paper made Sue’s pupils shrink. It was the house she had sold off long ago, a place she hadn’t returned to since. 

What was Brielle implying? 

Seeing the confusion etched on Sue’s face, Brielle offered a reminder, “Aren’t you curious to see who ended up with the house you sold for a song?” 

Sue clutched the paper, her heart pounding. Brielle wouldn’t share this address without reason. “The cousin who introduced you to Simon, wasn’t she the one who came from the countryside. seeking your help? She got your house for a steal and now has found herself a decent guy. She’s living the dream with a perfect little family.” 

That cousin, just like Simon, was uneducated. In her cousin’s eyes, Sue didn’t deserve her city life or her college degree. She wanted to ruin Sue, so she set her up with Simon. 

And Sue played right into her hands. Her life was shattered by Simon. 

Sue collapsed, her mind buzzing, tears flowing like a faucet left open. Sue’s face turned pale,

her mind buzzing. Her legs gave out, and she knelt on the ground. 

She didn’t have the heart to ponder over Brielle’s intentions now. The fact that Brielle got the guts to give her this address showed that it had been verified. 

The happier her cousin led her life, the more it proved how successful her scheme was back. then, and how much of a failure Sueu was. 

She collapsed on the ground, trembling all over. This was ten thousand times more painful than losing Simon. 

After several minutes of silent weeping, she took a deep breath. She had planned to feign trust in Brielle, to see what this smooth–talking woman was up to. She hadn’t expected Brielle to drop such a bombshell.
