Chapter 385
A storm was brewing, and public opinion had reached a new crescendo.
“So it’s all been orchestrated by someone else, someone who just wants to stir the pot
and drag Dorsey International through the mud.”
“Must be a business rival. A wire transfer record for ten million can’t be faked. Whoever is
behind this has deep pockets, clearly not your average Joe.”
“Looks like Brielle’s caught a bad break. There were already people from Dorsey
International stepping forward, claiming that the video was edited, that Sarah herself had
been repeatedly hassling her boss.”
“Just wait and see. The police will uncover the truth.”
Brielle thought she’d be plagued by rumors for a while longer, but Sue had brought the
mastermind into the spotlight in an unexpected way.
William looked down on these pawns, thinking he could play god with their fates.
However, those who underestimated the human spirit would ultimately be defeated by it.
Sue’s counterstrike was bound to throw William into a panic.
William probably never expected Sue to do this, considering how much she cared for
Simon. If she let slip about the ten million dollar issue, even if Simon were dead, he’d be
scorned posthumously.
Sue loved Simon dearly: how could she bear to see the man she loved maligned?

William underestimated a woman’s resolve.
The most loving could also be the most ruthless.
Human nature was forever a mystery, inscrutable, impenetrable, and unverifiable.
Now that the whole affair had been linked to a corporate conspiracy, to a puppeteer
pulling the strings, Brielle was also just a pawn used to take down Dorsey International.
Harassing her was pointless.
Moreover, Brielle had to admit that once Sue had her epiphany, her smarts were
impressive. She had managed to elevate the situation with the police, not pointing to the
puppeteer as someone trying to destroy Brielle but as someone trying to sink Dorsey
International. Thus, Brielle’s role in the affair was diminished, and the public saw her
merely as a pawn.
Her phone buzzed with a text from Sue..
[I still despise you, but I will fight this shadowy figure to the bitter end.]
Brielle was reflective. Until yesterday, she thought Sue was beyond help.
Turned out, once a woman broke free from the so–called bonds of love, she could become
quite

astute.
It’s too bad Sue had her awakening a bit too late..
Brielle was genuinely grateful though. Sue’s actions had finally shifted the online vitriol
away from her.
She no longer had to worry about being mobbed when she stepped outside, or about the
judgment in others‘ eyes.
A colleague called her, saying the reporters swarming Dorsey International had dispersed,
now hot on Sue’s trail.
But Sue was safe and sound in the police station, beyond the reach of the press, who were
left pacing anxiously outside.
Brielle’s lips curled into a smile. After a moment’s thought, she texted Sue back.
[Thanks.]
Sue didn’t respond, and Brielle didn’t expect her to. Instead, Brielle set her sights on the
underground gambling dens.
With public opinion now diverted, what would William do next?
Would he continue to involve the heir of Kingston Enterprises, or simply eliminate Sue?
But Sue had made the manipulation accusations so public that the entire nation was
watching her, and the police wouldn’t let anything happen to her. She was under their
protection, and any move by William would be nigh impossible.
Since Sue had caused trouble for William, Brielle didn’t want to sit idle either. She called
Ryan.

Ryan didn’t expect Brielle to reach out to him and sneered internally.
“Brielle, you’ve got some nerve.”
Knowing Ryan to be suspicious and impulsive, Brielle
understood that beating around the bush
would only make him more paranoid. Best to be straightforward.
“Ryan, you want to get back into Dorsey International, right? Well, there’s a window of
opportunity right now.”
Of course, Ryan didn’t trust Brielle. She’d deceived him more than once.
And the unresolved matter of Spencer’s kidnapping somehow felt like her machinations.
But if Brielle had the power to do that, why would she have suffered under the Haywood
family’s thumb for so long? So, he was momentarily puzzled.
“You think I’m going to believe you?”
“I don’t need you to believe me. Just do a little digging, and you’ll see. William has been
sitting on Kingston Enterprises‘ contract without finalizing it. The company went through a
lot to get

this opportunity, and William’s been stringing them along for ages.”
“Heh, as if Kingston Enterprises would let him. If things don’t work out with Dorsey
International, they’d just go to another company. Brielle, don’t try to fool me.”
