Chapter 218
Lillian’s face twisted in anguish as she spoke, her voice choked with emotion.
“How can there be any doubt? I saw it with my own eyes last night. Max actually cares for
Brielle. How could this be? That bitch! How did she manage to do it? Max is such a figure.”
She couldn’t get another word out as her voice broke down in sobs.
Robert was just as shocked because Max was always seen as the pinnacle of business
royalty. a man so high up the social ladder that women couldn’t even dream of a casual
conversation with him, let alone closeness. How could a man like that be entangled with
Brielle, especially since she was Spencer’s ex–fiancée?
Robert still worried that Lillian might have been mistaken. “Lillian, Brielle is Spencer’s ex,
and Max wouldn’t get involved with her. Are you sure you didn’t just see what you wanted
to see?”
Lillian’s face contorted even more, her chest heaving with emotion. “Max himself had me
use his phone to personally call Brielle. How could I be mistaken? That whore! I wish she
would just disappear.”
Besides cursing Brielle like this, she really didn’t know what else she could do. The
mention of Spencer seemed to reignite a spark in Lillian, her face brightening with a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtvindictive satisfaction. “Dad, if Michael finds out about Brielle and Max, could he make her
disappear from
Beaconsfield?”
A hint of hesitation appeared on Robert’s face, then it seemed like he came to a
realization. “We shouldn’t tell Michael about this just yet. Lillian, after all these years
you’ve known Brielle, she must have been really upset to cut ties with us. She’ll come
back to the Haywood family eventually. As for her and Max, if she managed to snag him,
that’s her skill. You could learn a thing or two from her.”
Lillian was in disbelief, staring wide–eyed. She was already a mess, with swollen eyes, and
now her twisted expression made her look almost ghostly.
Miranda and Cameron couldn’t believe what Robert was saying either. They started to
argue but stopped when they saw Robert stand up. “For years, the only woman who’s ever
caught Max’s attention has been Brielle. His engagement to the Barnes girl hasn’t even
been set in stone. If Brielle can get Max to call off that engagement, she’ll be the future
Lady of Dorsey International. Who would dare cross her then?”
The two were about to retort but clamped their mouths shut, their fists clenched in
frustration. They knew Robert was suggesting they cozy up to Brielle.
Seeing no objection, Robert continued, “Brielle’s always had a soft heart. How could she
hold no affection for the Haywood family? And with a grandfather who loves her, if she
doesn’t want to see him hurt, she wouldn’t dare push too far.”
Brielle hadn’t visited the old man in the nursing home, opting instead for a caregiver,
partly because she feared he would ask about the Haywood family. Not wanting to lie to
this kind.

elder, she had chosen to keep her distance – a weakness that Robert was willing to
exploit.
Robert felt a surge of pleasure, initially thinking Brielle would end up with someone like
Connor. It’s a surprise that she managed to potentially bag a bigger fish.
As soon as he left, Lillian completely broke down, smashing everything left on the coffee
table. “Mom, can you believe what Dad’s saying?”
Miranda’s face was etched with worry, but if Brielle really was with Max, they indeed
wouldn’t dare provoke her.

The mention of Spencer brought back a humiliating memory, and Lillian began to cry
again.
With a sigh. Miranda got up, catching Cameron’s eye, and left the room.
As soon as she was gone, Lillian threw herself into Cameron’s arms, “Cameron, don’t tell
me you agree with them? Why does Brielle deserve Max’s affection?”
Cameron was still rattled by the previous night’s events, fearful of Max’s potential
retaliation against the Haywood family.
“You’ll help me, right?”
Cameron’s mouth tasted bitter as he rubbed his temples, “I’ll help you, but lay low for
now. When Max gets tired of Brielle, you can have your revenge.”
Lillian thought it made sense. The Dorsey and Barnes family union was big news, and
Brielle was just a passing fancy for Max.
But the thought of Robert siding with Brielle sent chills down Lillian’s spine, her eyes
glinting coldly. She decided to get Alivia involved in the fight against Brielle.
When Alivia got the news, she was wrapping up an investment deal with Noah. Noah
noticed her smile vanish and cautiously inquired. “Alivia, what’s wrong?”
Alivia’s hand that was casually resting by her side clenched, “Ms. Haywood from Dorsey
International is quite close to Max, isn’t she?”
