Spencer thought he had misheard. He snapped his head up to look at Max, only to find a
serene calm in his eyes as if he was merely commenting on the pleasant weather.
Spencer’s lips trembled before his voice emerged, hoarse and strained. “Uncle Max, do
you even realize what you’re saying? Brielle is my fiancée.”
“Ex–fiancée.”
“Even if she’s an ex! She was still my fiancée! Uncle Max, as my uncle, how can you-
“She never loved you.”
The painful truth was delivered with such nonchalance, just like Brielle herself would do.
Spencer’s lips pressed into a tight line. His eyes were rimmed with anger. “You’re not
afraid I’ll go tell Grandpa? He won’t let Brielle through the door.”
“That’s why I need you to keep this a secret.”
“What about Ms. Alivia?!”

rosaries disappeared together?”
“I gave the rosary to Brielle, but she doesn’t seem to care for it much.” As Max spoke of
Brielle’s indifference, the composure on his face faded to a look of frustration.
Spencer was livid, feeling as if Max hadn’t heard a word he said, as if his feelings were

He would not allow that child to live!
Fortunately, he was prepared.
His eyes lowered, and his voice was still hoarse. “I understand.”
Max didn’t say anything more and just got into his car. Thinking of his recent fallout with

Meanwhile, since being dropped off at home, Brielle had been sitting on the couch in a

Her phone rang; it was Sydney.

paperwork that required her signature. She recalled a crucial acquisition meeting
scheduled for today.
“Ms. Haywood, you have a meeting at 9:30, but I haven’t seen you,” Sydney said.
Brielle cleared her throat, her face flushed from the fever. “I’m at home. Can you bring the
documents from the left side of my desk? I need to sign them.”
