Chapter 284
Brielle’s mind was a tornado of thoughts, her eyes blinking through the sting of fatigue.
She couldn’t muster the strength to respond to any messages. She didn’t even recall how
she got. back to her hospital room, just that the world seemed to tremble before her eyes.
“Ms. Brielle? Ms. Brielle!” The doctor’s voice seemed to echo from afar. She tried to snap
out of it, but clarity eluded her.
Outside the room, Miranda didn’t dare linger. She knew exactly how Julian had died, and
her face had drained of color. She needed to get ahead of the story, to pin everything on
Brielle. Otherwise, Robert wouldn’t let her off the hook either.
Clutching her fists tightly. Miranda glared at Brielle with a mix of urgency and fear.
With Julian gone, what could possibly stop Max now?
She hurried downstairs, desperate to consult with Robert.
Meanwhile, Cameron had already found Lillian. Her hand, now bandaged, was scrutinized
by her cold gaze, her missing fingers a silent testament to her ordeal.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCameron had braced himself for a hysterical Lillian, but the woman before him was eerily
calm. a brewing storm in her eyes. “Lillian, who did this?” He gently took her wrist,
cradling it with a pained tenderness.
A bitter smirk crossed Lillian’s face. “Who else but Brielle? Cameron, haven’t you figured
out a way to get me out yet?”
“I’m sorry, Max has the police in his pocket. The Haywood family is in trouble, and he’s not
letting go.”
The fury in Lillian’s eyes was apocalyptic. They say each finger is connected to the heart.
No one knew the pain and fear she had felt the night before. Her grip tightened on her
fingers. fresh blood seeping through the bandages.
“I know how to diffuse the crisis at hand.” Her eyes glinted with malice, her lips pursed
coldly. “If Max won’t let us be, then why not just make sure he can’t breathe?”
Those three fingers had snapped her into a sobering clarity. She wanted revenge on Brielle
and on Max.
Cameron startled, even glancing around to make sure they were alone before responding
in a hushed tone. “Lillian, stop dreaming. Do you have any idea how many have wanted
Max dead over the years? Look at him, still thriving. Mom’s gone to fetch Grandpa. As long
as Grandpa is around, Brielle won’t let Max keep targeting the Haywoods. I’m more
worried about you right
now.
Lillian’s eyes were bloodshot, like a wild animal cornered in desperation. “I know how I can
get out. Just lend me a few men.”

Cameron was wary of letting Lillian stir the pot further: Provoking Max might render
Brielle’s efforts useless. “Lillian, I-” Before he could finish, Lillian leaned in, pressing her

As for her own fate, she was indifferent. She wanted Brielle to live in hell forever.
After a brief kiss, she pulled back. “You’ll help me, won’t you? This is the last time I’ll ask.
Cameron’s mind was in disarray. Unable to refuse Lillian’s plea, especially after that
unexpected kiss, he felt his thoughts entangle into chaos. After what seemed like an
eternity. he nodded slowly. “Okay, but don’t do anything rash.”
A sly smile flickered across Lillian’s eyes. After all these years, Cameron was still the
same.
She was determined to seize this opportunity!
“Lillian, pretend to faint. I’ll have the cops escort you to the hospital, and on the way, my
guys. will intercept them. I’ll give you one day. By tomorrow afternoon, you have to be
back.”
Lillian nodded in agreement. It was a solid plan. She’d collapse in the police station, and
