Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 420

Chapter 420 

Given what Alivia knew about Max, she wouldn’t stand a chance if Brielle were indeed pregnant. Max was the kind of man who stood by his responsibilities. Even if he didn’t love Brielle, he’d marry her just to give the child a proper family name. 

A venomous look flashed in Alivia’s eyes. If that bitch dared to carry a child, she’d make sure to terminate the pregnancy herself and ensure that Brielle belleved Max wanted nothing to do with the baby. 

With a cold press of her lips, Allivia thanked Spencer, “I get it, Spencer, But I’m still not gonna pry into Max’s business. I asked him before I left If he had someone special, and he said no. He wouldn’t lie about that. Even if he did stray, it must’ve been that woman throwing herself at him. Since she’s your ex–llancée, could you maybe talk some sense into her?” 

Alivia knew damn well Spencer couldn’t sway Brielle. In Brielle’s eyes, Spencer was a nobody. compared to Max. No woman would pick Spencer over Max. Alivia’s words were just a ploy to craft her image – the youngest head of a research Institute, an educated and well–connected heiress, yet her emotional life was as blank as a fresh sheet of paper. Alivia was gentle and intelligent, yet so pure. 

Once this persona took hold, Spencer would undoubtedly speak well of her to Michael. 

Alivia was never stingy with her charm unless it came to women eyeing Max. Those rivals would be driven away by any means necessary. 

Sure enough, Spencer felt a twinge of sympathy – a common male affliction, mistaking a strong woman’s vulnerability for an opportunity to shine. 

“Ms. Alivia, don’t worry. I’ll put in a good word for you with Grandpa so you and Uncle Max can 

tie the knot sooner.” 

“Thanks, Spencer.” Her mission was accomplished. She exchanged a few more pleasantries before hanging up. 

A sly smile crept across her face. “Brielle, you’d better get past your ex before you even think about dealing with me.” 

Unaware of these machinations, Brielle woke up early, and after freshening up, she headed downstairs, only to find that Max had already left. 

As she reached the ground floor, she heard Wesley mention today’s special tomato soup with red wine. Wesley was passionate about brewing various soups for her, claiming they were to fortify her health. But the thought of red wine made Brielle Instinctively glance at her belly. 

She couldn’t risk a hospital visit before confirming that no one was watching her, and to avoid arousing Max’s suspicion, she had to tread carefully. 

Last night, she’d researched and learned that wine could be dangerous during pregnancy. 

By the time Wesley served the soup and wine, Brielle had already decided to take it to the office,

not wanting to offend him. 

“Ms. Brielle, you’ve got time before work. Have some soup,” Wesley urged with a smile. 

“Could you pack it up for me? I’d like to take it to the office,” she replied, careful to eat just enough of the other dishes to maintain a balanced diet before taking her insulated container and heading to work. 

Just as she arrived at the office, she saw familiar police officers in the lobby. They took the elevator up as she entered her private one, and they exchanged nods from a distance. 

Brielle had seen police officers too many times this year, but this was the first time they weren’t there to question her. Who were they after? William?
