Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 91

“Ugh, Andrew just bailed me out of the police station, and he was like, ‘you can’t just brush this off. I mean, isn’t Brielle just an employee at Dorsey International? Why does he have to go this far?”

Tessa’s breath grew heavier, and she couldn’t help but cough violently a few times. She was growing more and more disgusted with her frail body. On most days, she could only rely on medication to keep going, and the slightest agitation was off–limits. Just hearing this news had already caused beads of sweat to form on her forehead.

“Should I go?” Sophia asked, testing the waters with her question, though deep down she had zero desire to go, especially since it meant seeing Emily. Just the thought that she had gotten into this mess because of Emily made her blood boil.

“If he said so, then just do it,” Tessa replied, knowing Andrew’s intentions all too well. “There’s no way he’d have anything to do with Brielle.”

“I trust Andrew, but I’ve heard Brielle is quite the loose cannon.”

Tessa took a deep breath, a sharp look crossing her eyes. “Sophia, keep an eye out for me while you’re out there. If you see Brielle getting too close to Andrew, give me a call.”

Sophia’s lips curled into a wry smile. “Don’t worry. I’ll keep an eye on Andrew for you.”

After hanging up, Sophia shot a message to Emily. Emily had been living in a state of constant anxiety, and though she heard the issue had been resolved, she was now told she needed to apologize to Brielle, which instantly made her feel nauseous. [I’m not going, why should I grovel to that tramp Brielle.]

Reading Emily’s response, a sneer crossed Sophia’s face. [I’ve got Brielle’s address from Lillian. Andrew said we have to apologize in
