How could someone be so changeable, making one’s heart involuntarily soften?
Brielle avoided the gazes of the others, feigning nonchalance as she glanced outside.
“How about we go check out the meteor shower?”
Max knew she was shy and chuckled softly, “Yeah.” With that, his fingers continued their
descent, entwining with hers.
Brielle’s mind thundered, and her ears turned crimson. She didn’t notice Tessa, still seated
as if frozen in place.
As the crowd began to move outside, Alivia approached Tessa. “Andrew left the moment
he saw you stop.”
This revelation shattered the last bit of Tessa’s dignity. It was all Brielle’s fault! Everything
was. Brielle’s fault!
After delivering the blow, Alivia whispered conspiratorially, “She just stepped all over you
and stole the spotlight.”
“That bitch! I won’t let her get away with this!”

Tessa stood up abruptly and strode outside with determined steps.
By now, Brielle had made her way outside. She noticed the ladies‘ flushed faces and their

Brielle ignored them, instead focusing on the sky above.
She thought she’d have a moment of peace, but her phone rang – it was Mason. It could
be about the company going public. She couldn’t afford to be negligent, so she sought out
a quiet spot to take the call.
Heading towards the pool area to answer, Brielle heard footsteps behind her. Frowning,

Having not found comfort from Andrew and spurred on by Alivia’s words, Tessa followed
Brielle once she’d left Max alone. The hatred in Tessa’s eyes was palpable, boiling in her
chest. She had to do something, or she’d never sleep tonight!
“You’re pathetic, thinking you can stay by Max’s side like this? Just look at Aubree’s fate to
know yours. Both of you are birds of a feather, clinging to men who are to be engaged to
others, vile and conniving.
