Chapter 475
Michael never really pondered the implications of the situation; his mind was set on
keeping things under wraps. Yet, he was well aware that some folks just couldn’t keep
their lips sealed. “Max, what do you reckon we do? You can’t bear to let Brielle go, can
you?” Michael’s tone. carried a hint of sternness. If Max hesitated, Michael was resolute
about not letting Brielle off
the hook.
“Dad, I’m simply looking at the facts. Sure, we can remove Brielle from her position–after
all, Dorsey International is our family’s turf. But she’s built a reputation in her department.
Event fabricating a resignation letter might not stop the chatter. As for the mess with
William and Sue, we’ve already leaned on the police and gagged some of the press. If we
keep this up, it’ll only draw suspicion from the higher–ups. There’s been a shake–up in
their ranks recently–new faces in, old ones out. The new broom sweeps clean, and the
Dorsey family’s reputation can’t afford a single misstep.”
Michael squinted, considering the recent shift in power and the truth in the saying about
new officials making big changes. The debacle William stirred up had been a major
embarrassment, and now, with Spencer’s predicament, it was likely to grab unwanted

Max’s words, though–purely objective and in the family’s best interest–caused Michael ant
instant headache.
“Wouldn’t stripping Brielle of her title let her off easy? Thanks to her, Spencer ended up in
the ER.”
“Since it’s all about emotions, and with Spencer’s wedding around the corner, consider
that chapter closed. As for Brielle, she’s nothing without her job. Cut her off from Dorsey
International, and she’s done for. That’s a more bitter pill to swallow than mere
confinement. She’s a tough cookie, but it’s the softest cuts that hurt the most.”
A flicker of satisfaction crossed Michael’s eyes, and his lips curled into a faint smile.
“Follow your plan then. I’ll have someone notify the police to hold her for two more days,
then release her. As you said, once fired, we’ll make sure she can’t find work anywhere
else: She’ll have no choice but to leave the country.”
“Exactly my point, Father.”
Michael sighed, immensely pleased with the strategy. Max always handled things without
personal feelings, and his indifference toward Brielle reassured Michael.
After hanging up, Max couldn’t help but cough, the action stirring the chaos in his mind.
Discharging himself from the hospital after only three days was pushing it.
Patrick rushed over with a cup of warm water. “Mr. Dorsey, maybe you should head back
to the hospital for a bit more rest?”

But Max shook his head, ignoring the water and closing his laptop. “Move this afternoon’s
meeting up, and convert all meetings in the next three days to virtual.”
Patrick complied without protest.
Meanwhile, Alivia lingered on the top floor. She intended to visit Max’s office but knew
better than to interrupt him. Instead, she strolled through Dorsey Tower and made her way
to Brielle’s department.
There, she spotted Sydney, dressed to the nines, just like Brielle. Alivia smirked internally.
approaching Sydney and tapping on her desk.
“Hello there.”
Sydney looked up, a flash of admiration passing through her eyes at the sight of Alivia.
The media had been all abuzz about her, touting her as a golden girl, her achievements

many men.
Sydney was contemptuous of such praise. In her opinion, a woman’s place was to keep a
man happy in bed–that was all it took. Like with Spencer, Sydney made him happy, and he
showered her with more money than she could ever earn on her own.
However, facing Alivia, Sydney felt a sense of inferiority and quickly stood up. “Ms. Alivia,
hello. Are you looking for someone?”
Alivia smiled gently. “Actually, I’m here to see you. Do you have a moment? I’d like to have
a word with you.
A look of discomfort crossed Sydney’s face, and she was genuinely clueless as to what
Alivia might want to discuss. This was their first encounter, and Sydney didn’t see any
need for a
chat.
But this was Alivia, someone she dared not offend, and whom she knew she must treat
