Chapter 615
“Ugh!”
Adrian gagged as his mouth was crammed full of pills. Sydney forced him to clamp his jaw shut with fierce
determination.
He passed out cold. The injuries from last night, coupled with today’s ordeal, had pushed him to his limit.
However, Sydney mistook this for the poison taking effect, her fingertips quivering as the medicine bottle slipped
from her grasp. She collapsed to her knees, her lips trembling uncontrollably.
Brielle chuckled softly, “You didn’t hold back when you did the deed, so what's with the act now?”
Sydney cast a glance at Max, who sat nonchalantly by the window, seemingly detached from the whole affair,
and couldn’t help but speak up. “Mr. Dorsey, is this the kind of woman you favor? Do you really know who she is
beneath the mask?”
A shaft of sunlight fell perfectly on Max's suit. Hearing this, his eyelashes fluttered, but he ignored Sydney.
He was fond of Brielle, regardless of her true nature. It was nobody else's business.
But now, there were issues between them.

A pang of pain shot through his heart, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.
Unaware of his unease, Brielle stood up. “You won't need to cto Dorsey International anymore. As for where
else you want to go, no one will stop you. You're free to leave now.”
A spark of hope lit up in Sydney's eyes. Could she really go? Was Brielle truly willing to let her off the hook?
Sydney cautiously gauged Brielle’s expression, which seemed sincere, so she threw caution to the wind and
started running for the door.
After sprinting a good distance, Sydney leaned against a wall to catch her breath. Max was still backing Brielle,
so no one could touch her for now. Damn it!
Sydney was seething with frustration, yet relieved she was still alive. She had to wait for the day Max would
utterly discard Brielle.
She now had plenty of money to live well. So what if she couldn’t work at Dorsey International? She could buy a
house right now. Adrian was as good as dead. She'd just tell everyone that Adrian had run off with another
woman, with all the blfalling on him, while she walked away with a hefty sum and into Spencer's arms.
If Max didn’t want her, she might as well set her sights on Spencer.
Triumph glinted in Sydney’s eyes. Brielle would regret letting her go someday.
Back in the room, Brielle glanced at the uniformed man. “Bring him around.”
The man nodded, fetched a bucket of water, and doused Adrian's face with it.
Adrian jolted awake and saw Brielle’s face and then his surroundings. A cold light flashed in his eyes when he
noticed the absence of Sydney.
“Stop looking. She’s gone. The moment she felt safe, she didn’t hesitate to leave.”

Adrian's lips pressed into a tight line as he knelt before Brielle despite the excruciating pain in his body.
Brielle raised an eyebrow. “Adrian, if you really died, Sydney would probably slander you even in death. Are you
content with that? I can give you a chance”
A playful glint danced in her eyes. “If you leave now, you can still catch her. If you really want revenge, strike
when she’s at her most triumphant. What do you say?”

Blood trickled from the corner of Adrian's mouth, but he seemed oblivious to the pain, respectfully averting his
gaze. “I'll do whatever you ask ofjust to stay alive, Ms. Brielle”
He would never let Sydney get away!
“I won't kill you. You just need to pursue what you most desire”
What would a man who had just faced utter despair and had been poisoned by the woman he loved do in his
rage? She was quite looking forward to it.
“You may go.” Her tone was nonchalant, and though she had little taste for such deceit, the incident with Aubree
had hit her hard. From the moment she got involved with Maz, she knew her life would never be peaceful again.
Every step was like walking on the edge of a knife, cautious and fragile. A return to a calm life was no longer
possible.
After everything, she finally turned to Max. He straightened his suit, rising slowly with a distant expression,
composed and unruffled,
“Max, if | move against the Rowland family, what will you do?”
Unexpectedly, Max reached out, grasped her chin, and studied her face intently, “I won't stop you.”
“But if you're considering breaking up with me, don’t blme for not fulfilling any of your desires anymore,” he
thought,
