Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 820

She swallowed hard, gripping the card like it was her lifeline.

"I'll go find Alivia; the poor girl's probably going through hell right now. If anything happens to her, I won't be able to face Martha."

Martha, Martha.

Daisy always had Martha's name on her lips, yet when Martha was overseas getting medical treatment, Daisy hadn't shown up even once.

Kenzo toyed with his shattered smartphone, a smirk briefly crossing his lips.

"Mother and Aunt Martha, such a deep bond between sisters."

Daisy's face stiffened, avoiding his gaze.

Kenzo had little interest in these family dramas and waved his hand dismissively.

"I have other properties. You and Alivia can go live there."

The message was clear: leave.

A flash of elation crossed Daisy's eyes. She snatched the card and hurried out, dialing Alivia's number as soon as she left.

Alivia was sitting next to Tessa, who was cursing Aubree non-stop, her face red with fury.

When Daisy's call came through, impatience flickered in Alivia's eyes.

It was all Daisy's fault for being barren. If she or her brother had been Daisy's children, they wouldn’t have been ousted by the Barnes family and lost all dignity.

"Alivia, are you even listening? I've been locked up by Andrew for so long, I feel like I’m losing my mind. You have to help me."

Alivia looked down on Tessa as well. Tessa was nothing but an invalid, and with the Rowland family’s downfall, she was now a spent force.

But even a spent force might have one last move.

A sly smile curved Alivia's lips as she retrieved a bottle filled with concentrated sulfuric acid.

She was a researcher and had quietly accumulated a stockpile of this dangerous substance. Now, it was finally going to serve its purpose.

"Listen, this is concentrated sulfuric acid. Since Aubree has made your life a living hell, why not ruin her pretty face? Isn't that what caught Andrew's eye in the first place? He's been with her so long he's grown attached, but what if she became a monster? Then his attention would return to you."

Her voice was seductive, coaxing Tessa.

Tessa had been confined for days and was on the brink of a breakdown. If she hadn't escaped, she might have gone mad.
