Chapter 113
When Faith received the call, she thought her son had lost his mind. She glanced at her
phone several times, double–checking that it was indeed Spencer on the line before she
managed to calm herself down.
She had also received those pictures and was pondering ways to take out Brielle.
The Sunflower Orphanage sprang to her mind. She had signed a five–year contract, and
three years had already passed. If she were to break the agreement prematurely, she
would have to compensate Brielle with a hefty sum of two hundred million dollars.
That was too costly for her, but the orphanage was managed by an aging director and was
home to a bunch of naive kids. To call them vulnerable would be an understatement. She
knew that with a little money, she could send some thugs to make life a living hell for
everyone at the orphanage.
Brielle dared to embarrass her son, and Faith was determined she would pay the price. But
now, Spencer was insisting they get married as soon as possible, and Faith thought she
was hallucinating.
“Don’t even think about it. That slut has no place in our family. Spencer, I’d rather you be
with Lillian. At least she’s obedient and treats your word as gospel. But Brielle? Her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtscandals are all over the social circles. Do you have any idea how embarrassing it is for
me? Everyone’s been asking me how I plan to handle this mess at our tea parties.”
The influence of the Barnes family in their circles was not to be underestimated, and now
the scandal also involved Kenzo from the Barnes family.
Faith had been with a group of high–society ladies for afternoon tea when she received the
photos, and the embarrassment had driven her to make an early exit. She had never been
so eager to distance herself from the plague that was Brielle.
Spencer snapped out of his fury under his mother’s scolding and quickly backtracked,
“Mom, I was just blinded by anger. I couldn’t swallow my pride, so I thought maybe
marrying her could be a form of revenge.”
Faith scoffed, her eyes flashing with cunning, “I’ve already figured out how to get back at
her. Leave this to me. As for the engagement, I’ll talk to your father. If he drops his
opposition, your engagement to Brielle will be off in no time.” If it hadn’t been for Ryan’s
intervention last time, the engagement would have been called off already..
While Spencer felt a wave of relief, there was an undercurrent of regret, as if he was about
to lose something important. He tried to focus on Lillian, to recall the moments they had
shared, and finally nodded in agreement, “Alright.”
After returning to her apartment, Brielle learned about the photos from a message sent by
Aubree.
Aubree was as bold as ever.

Chapter 113
[Damn, Bri, is that Kenzo?! Do you know how hard he is to get a hold of? Tons of people in
our circles are after him for his TV scripts. I heard he’s so obsessed with his work that he
once secluded himself in the wilderness for a year. He doesn’t even attend social
gatherings. And you got to dine with him?)
Kenzo was indeed the type to sacrifice anything for his art – his time, his relationships,
even his life. Once, to craft a crime drama script, he even went undercover in a South
African
organization. Kenzo’s understanding of life transcended the ordinary; he sought fulfillment
on a spiritual level.
[First Max, now Kenzo, each one a better catch than Spencer, that unlucky charm. You
need to kick Spencer to the curb; he’s been worn out by Lillian and can’t satisfy you

Brielle blushed at Aubree’s brazen words. She glanced at the photos Aubree had sent – the
angles were tricky, making it look like there was something between her and Kenzo.
Remembering Spencer’s comments about Kenzo and Tiffanie, Brielle quickly asked Aubree
for
the scoop.
Aubree hadn’t heard about any entanglement between the two, and Tiffanie had always
been the same since she came of age, never known to have confessed to anyone.
But one thing was certain: Tiffanie knew how to party hard, scaring off the young heirs in
their circles.
There was a time when a family elder suggested a marriage alliance with Tiffanie, but the
prospective groom had theatrically threatened to take his own life to break off the
engagement, which eventually fizzled out.
Confused by the whole affair, Brielle decided to focus on her work instead. Just as she was
about to boot up her computer, she saw a message from Max. As usual, it was brief.
[Documents.]
For some reason, Brielle felt that his mood was off.
