Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 196

Sophia shivered uncontrollably, her mind replaying the scene that unfolded before her eyes at the Haywood family’s floral wall.

Earlier, after Lillian had spilled the beans about Aubree and Andrew’s sordid affair, Sophia was fuming with rage, her mind and heart filled with the fiery desire to confront Aubree, and expose their filthy relationship in front of everyone–avenging Tessa in the process.

But as she searched the grand Haywood family soiree, Aubree was nowhere to be found. Instead, by the floral wall, she stumbled upon Max pressing Brielle against the wall, their kiss deep with passion.

Sophia felt as if lightning had struck her, freezing her in place. Then she heard Spencer’s voice. He was looking for Brielle. In the next moment, Max slipped off his jacket, draping it over Brielle as they continued their kissing.

Sophia was engulfed in shock and fear, for she had glimpsed Max’s secret. In a panicked reflex, she snapped a photo, her original intent to find Aubree forgotten as she stumbled along the Haywood estate’s cobblestone path, only to collide with several men, her phone clattering to the ground.

The photo she took was not clear, and one could only vaguely make out a couple kissing. However, anyone familiar with the attire of Brielle and Max would recognize them.

Before she knew it, she was standing before William. Sophia had met William a few times. before and had only seen him as a very patient elder.
