Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 69

Aubree arrived promptly, driving a sleek Maserati.

Brielle, trying to hide her nervousness, casually adjusted the scarf around her neck and slid into the passenger seat. As she settled in, her spine stiffened uncomfortably, and the temperature she had managed to cool within herself began to rise again.

“Bri, did you hear about the scene Faith made over at the Haywood estate?” Aubree asked, pressing the gas pedal with a bit of frustration.

Brielle sat up straight, trying to expel the thoughts of Max from her mind. “Yeah, I ignored their calls. How did it end up?”

Aubree couldn’t suppress a grin. “Your folks paid them a visit to apologize, but you know Faith, she’s relentless. She accused you of being a flirt and made a huge fuss about ending the engagement, claiming you cheated on her son. In the end, I think it was Ryan who stepped in.”

“Ryan?”

“Mhm, Ryan calmed Faith down. So, the engagement’s still on.”

Brielle pursed her lips. Ryan had just been let go from Dorsey International, and his reluctance to break off the engagement was likely to avoid catching Michael’s attention. Despite announcing his retirement, Michael still held absolute sway over the Dorsey clan. And Brielle didn’t want to draw his scrutiny either.
