Chapter 156
He began to meticulously recall every moment, every nuance of his years with Brielle.
Why had he gotten entangled with Lillian in the first place? Perhaps it was because Brielle
always seemed so distant, her laughter devoid of warmth, as if she were trampling on his
pride.
Brielle never needed tutoring, so when he showed up at her doorstep, brimming with
enthusiasm and homework in hand, she would simply cross her arms and coolly ask him
where he was struggling.
Her independence didn’t quite fit the traditional mold of femininity. In contrast, Lillian
clung to him daily with questions and would then look up at him with adoration, inflating
his ego to soaring heights.
Everything he couldn’t get from Brielle, he received from Lillian. What was so wrong about
liking Lillian? Brielle’s body had been sullied by others.
Spencer felt a mix of disgust and anger. Seeing Brielle walk away without a backward
glance only intensified the surge of resentment within him.
He would make Brielle regret this; he would make those men who had tempted her behind
his back pay.
In a fit of rage, he punched the wall.
Meanwhile, Brielle quickly slipped into Max’s car, her gaze fixed irritably outside the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwindow.
Spencer hadn’t come out. He was probably still inside, fuming with rage. She had planned
to take the day off, but with Spencer there, she was itching to go to the office just to pass
the
time.
As the car was about to start, Spencer emerged, predictably with a scowl. He looked
around, likely searching for Brielle. Then he approached Max’s car and shouted through
the window. *Uncle Max, I stopped by the family estate last night, and grandpa asked me
to pass on a message to you.”
“What is it?”
Max’s eyes were on his papers, but through the crack in the window, Spencer’s voice
continued. “Grandpa’s wondering when you plan to meet with the Barnes family. Both
sides are keen on arranging a dinner. He tried calling you, couldn’t get through, and
Patrick’s line was busy. Knowing you’re busy, he sent me to deliver the message.”
The reason Spencer had been at the estate, of course, had to do with that video.
Fortunately. Tiffanie, the one who spread the video, had been grounded. Who knew how
she was faring now, probably going mad in confinement.
A sneer crossed his eyes. “I hope this time, Uncle Max, you won’t plead for Tiffanie. Aunt
Victoria is quite furious this time.”

Brielle’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. Tiffanie was being punished? Didn’t she
claim no one dared lay a hand on her?
She anxiously looked at Max, only to hear him ask indifferently. “Locked up in the attic
again? Can’t they come up with something new besides this old trick?”
His tone was mocking, and Spencer didn’t dare to respond.
Max, looking straight ahead, said coldly, “Drive.”
Patrick nodded and promptly hit the gas.
Brielle’s palms were sweating. She couldn’t help but ask, “Is the situation with Tiffanie that
serious? It was my lack of foresight. I should have released the video myself.”
“If you had, you’d be the one in Michael’s clutches right now.” Max closed his eyes,
tapping his fingers lightly on the documents. “The Dorsey family will always protect their
own. No matter how Spencer fails or betrays, Michael will always see it as your fault.”
That was reality.
With Tiffanie taking the heat, Michael wouldn’t notice her for the time being, but if Brielle
had been the one to release the video, she wouldn’t live to see another sunrise. Michael’s
methods were not something Ryan could ever match.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBrielle’s face darkened, and she looked up. “I know, but I only wanted Tiffanie to watch the
show, not drag her down with me.” She felt guilty.
“It’s fine; she’s probably used to being grounded by now.”
It seemed Victoria had no soft spot for Tiffanie, but why? Weren’t they mother and
daughter?
Brielle had heard of Victoria’s husband, handsome and refined, a pianist who rarely made
public appearances but toured the world giving concerts.
Victoria herself came from a distinguished background. How could such parents not treat
their own child well?
Max lifted his hand and pulled her closer, wrapping an arm around her waist. “Victoria
chased Everett like a woman possessed. She attended every piano concert of his, but he
always. rejected her.”
Everett was Victoria’s husband now. They ended up together, didn’t they?
Sensing her confusion, Max pinched her chin. “One year, while abroad at one of his
concerts, Victoria was cornered by thugs and tormented for three days, resulting in
Tiffanie. To cover up the scandal, the Dorsey family forced Everett to marry Victoria,
claiming it was a premarital pregnancy. In my father’s eyes, nothing and no one could
tarnish the Dorsey name, and no one could let the Dorseys suffer any loss, even if Victoria
was in the wrong. As long as she wanted sqmething, my father would make it happen for
her.”
Such bias had reached the extent of disregarding the wishes of others.
