Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 574

Chapter 574 

Just as Brielle was about to kick Spencer away, a woman’s voice echoed from the doorway. “Spencer, haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough?” 

Startled, Brielle turned to see that it was none other than Victoria. 

With a nod to Brielle, Victoria signaled for the doctors to pull Spencer away. It took several doctors and a lot of effort to restrain Spencer on the bed and administer a sedative. 

Noticing the bandage on Brielle’s wrist, Victoria frowned, “What happened to you?” 

“Just a little scratch from my purse.” 

Some purse accessories can be sharp. Victoria had seen enough catfights to know women used the corners of their handbags to leave their opponents bloodied. 

“Does Max know about this?” 

As Max’s older sister, Victoria had never interfered with his relationship with Brielle, which meant Brielle had no hard feelings towards her. But thinking of Tiffanie, Brielle felt less warmth towards Victoria. “I haven’t told him yet.” 

“Maybe it’s for the best. If Max got involved, he wouldn’t care who hurt you or what their background was. Mom always says he doesn’t take after anyone in the Dorsey family. In some ways, he’s the most reckless of us all.” 

Brielle didn’t quite understand what Victoria meant but remained quietly attentive. 

Inside, the doctors had sedated Spencer and wheeled him into the ICU. 

Victoria tucked her shoulder–length hair behind her ear, her expression indifferent. “I don’t oppose your relationship with Max, but I hope you bring him positive energy, not negativity. You probably don’t know, but as a child, he was so serious that mom had to consult numerous therapists and psychologists because he wouldn’t smile.” 

Brielle was surprised; she had never heard about Max’s childhood. She knew being groomed as the heir must have been tough, but she never realized that his life was challenging even before he was in the spotlight. 

Victoria’s short hair framed her spotless skin, but a perpetual cloud of melancholy seemed to loom over her. “Mom was strict with him, treating him as the successor from the moment he was born. If he couldn’t fulfill that role, given her state of mind, she might have done something drastic. So when Max couldn’t smile and displeased Dad, Mom was devastated. He’s been through hundreds of treatments to become the decisive person he is today. Only he knows what he’s endured.” 

Turning to Brielle, Victoria’s tone was calm but chilly. “I hope you don’t push him to become someone else.” 

Brielle frowned. Why would Victoria say that? She had never thought to push Max; all she
