Chapter 95
Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)
Spencer picked up the call quickly, already at his suburban villa, having just had sex with Lillian, a way to soothe her.
Lillian lay gently in his arms, yet she couldnât shake the desire to reach out to Max. She had to find a chance to talk to him.
The ringtone of her phone broke her train of thought. As the name. Emily flashed on the screen, a dark gleam crossed her eyes.
Spencer knew Emily worked at Dorsey International. Lillian had mentioned her before, but he hadnât expected her to call him directly. âWhatâs up?â
Emily looked triumphantly at Brielle and raised her voice, âMr. Spencer, Iâm at Brielleâs place. Is the man in her bedroom you?â
Spencerâs grip on the phone tightened instantly, his tone turned menacing, âWhat man?â
âThereâs a man in Brielleâs bedroom, but the doorâs closed. I thought it. was you. If itâs not you, then who could it be? Arenât you two engaged? Could it be sheâs brought another man home?â
Spencer was seething with rage, feeling utterly humiliated. âThat⦠that bitchâs affairs are none of my business! She could parade a hundred men around for all I care!â He hung up without hesitation, his chest heaving with fury.
Lillian was lying right beside him, hearing every word clearly. She was secretly pleased, thinking keeping Emily around was indeed useful.
âSpencer, shouldnât you check it out? Emilyâs not wrong. Bri is your fiancée, after all. Sheâs been in and out of the police station, now hiding men in her bedroom. If the Dorsey family gets wind of thisâ¦â
Spencerâs chest hurt unbearably, his face paled with anger. He got up to dress, a wildfire of wrath spreading through him.
How could Brielle stoop so low! What made her different from a prostitute right now!
However, the thought of breaking off the engagement was unbearable. How could he accept that?
The taste of blood was in Spencerâs mouth, his breath hot with rage. Once dressed, he clenched his teeth, âLillian, you donât blame me for not breaking off the engagement?â
Lillian stood up and wrapped her arms around his waist, âWhatever decision you make, Iâm with you, Spencer. In this life, youâre the only man for me.â
Saying such things in this context was implicitly a jab at Brielleâs promiscuity.
Spencer was filled with hate and anger, and in the end, he pushed her back onto the bed. âLillian, youâre the best. That⦠that woman canât even compare to one of your fingers.â
Only by saying this could he feel a little better.
It was he who rejected Brielle, feeling she was tainted, not that he was the one being abandoned. He wouldnât break off the engagement just to teach Brielle a lesson, to have the engagement hang over her, dragging her down until no other man dared marry her. This was the price for betraying him.
After hanging up, Emily looked triumphantly at Brielle, trying to detect. even a hint of panic on her face, but Brielle sat there calmly, even nonchalant. Seeing that Emily was done, she simply crossed her arms, âShall we start with the apologies now?â
Emilyâs face stiffened, her fingertips trembling with anger.
How shameless could this woman be, still so composed after being caught in an affair.
Sophia, unable to stand the atmosphere in the room, felt disgusted by 17.11 everything around her. Lillian had been right. Brielle was indeed unprincipled.
She took a deep breath, eager to quickly end things here, so without hesitation, she bent down.
âBrielle, Iâm sorry. I shouldnât have hired someone to come after you. I hope you can forgive my foolishness.â
Sophia had been holding back her emotions from the beginning, and after saying her piece, she waited for Brielleâs response.
Brielle looked at Emily, raising an eyebrow, âAnd you?â
Emily was so angry her face turned ashen, unable to utter a single word.
Brielle not only wanted to dismiss her but also demanded an apology now. It was nothing short of wishful thinking.
âGo to hell! Brielle, I wonât let you get away with this.â
