Chapter 261
Brielle’s eyes narrowed, a flicker of panic passing through them. How on earth did Lillian
find out about this? Was she followed by Lillian last night? This was trouble, big trouble.
Noticing Brielle’s momentary daze, Lillian let out a derisive snort. “So, what’s this? Did I
hit the nail on the head? Did you really stash Spencer away somewhere? Just imagine if I
spill the beans to the Dorseys. What do you think they’ll do to you?”
“Do you have any proof?”
“Of course, I do.” Lillian boasted. “I’ve got photos of you two from the moment you met
until you went into that room. Spencer’s disappearance is all tied to you, sweetheart. Just
you wait, I’m sending these pictures to Faith right now.”
Lillian whipped out her smartphone, the malice in her eyes almost spilling over. Lady Luck
was on her side; Brielle was somehow embroiled in Spencer’s abduction.
Already tapping away, Lillian was about to send the message when a sudden force hit and
her phone flew out of her hands.
Looking up in disbelief, she met the gaze of a determined Brielle. “Brielle, you!” Her words

little plop, the phone disappeared beneath the water’s surface.
“Brielle!” Lillian’s eyes blazed with fury as she stormed forward, her hand raised to strike.
But the lobby’s security, already on alert thanks to the manager’s signal, stepped in and
held her back.
Lillian trembled with rage, “How dare you destroy my phone! Have you lost your mind?!”
Brielle seemed unfazed by the outburst and instead offered a smirk, “I suppose the driver
who hit me was bribed by you, huh? I’ve got solid proof, so you might want to save some
energy for your chat with the cops.”
Lillian scoffed, “The driver was drunk. What’s that got to do with me?”
“You transferred that million bucks from an account in your own name. Now tell me, how
foolish can you be?”
Lillian froze, her complexion turning as pale as a ghost. That account had never been a
problem over the years, to the point where she had completely forgotten that it was
registered under her real name. Damn it! How could she have overlooked that?
The lobby manager approached Brielle with a respectful demeanor, “Ms. Brielle, what
seems to be the issue here?”
Brielle pointed at Lillian, “She’s implicated in a murder–for–hire plot. Could you please call
the police and have her taken away?”
Nodding, the manager signaled the security to escort Lillian to the police station.

Chapter 261
Lillian began to struggle violently. “Brielle, just you wait. I’ll tell the Dorseys everything.
Ryan and Michael won’t let you off the hook. And Max, even if he’s on your side now, if he
finds out you kidnapped his nephew, guess who’ll be the first to turn against you?”
Brielle frowned, tired of Lillian’s babbling.
Lillian was seething, her mind racing with hatred. It then dawned on her that this was a
hotel under the Dorsey International umbrella. Spencer was a face well–known to the staff
here. Moreover, the news of Spencer’s abduction was the talk of the town.
A gleam of triumph flickered in her eyes as she turned to the manager with a sly grin, “You
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcan contact Dorsey International’s head office, can’t you? Brielle is involved in Spencer’s
kidnapping. I have evidence on my phone. Retrieve it, and I can testify that Brielle was
with Spencer last night.”
The manager, who had recognized Lillian as the woman who had stayed in the room next
to Brielle’s the previous night, gave her a look of pity. The CEO was already aware of
Brielle’s involvement and had even helped cover it up. This woman thinking of reporting to
the head office was living in a fantasy..
Lillian’s triumphant smile faltered as the manager interrupted her and instructed. “Take
her away. To the police station.”
Disbelief washed over Lillian’s face; she couldn’t understand why her words weren’t
having the intended effect.
How could they not react? The news of Spencer’s kidnapping was public, and she had
evidence. As employees of Dorsey International, how could they be so indifferent?
Desperation gripped Lillian as she began to struggle, her eyes burning with a fierce
hatred, fixated on Brielle. She vowed to herself that the moment she got in touch with the
Dorseys. Brielle would be ruined.
