Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 281

Miranda was on the verge of throwing a fit, but remembering she still needed the old coot, she swallowed her anger.

Such a pain, that old cool!

During the drive, Julian couldn’t help but ask about Brielle and Spencer’s relationship.

“Are Bri and Spencer getting hitched soon? Spencer’s a solid guy, sure to treat his lady right. Bri’s tough, but she can be taken advantage of. That kid’s had it rough before.”

Sarcasm flickered in Miranda’s eyes as she continued to tarnish Brielle’s reputation. “Getting married? Please, Brielle’s got a string of men on the side, and it’s the talk of Beaconsfield. Plus, she’s now cozying up to Spencer’s uncle Max. That Max, you’ve heard of him, right? With Max backing her, she’s out there causing trouble, a real tramp, hopping from one man to the next.

“That shameless slut even admitted to us that she’s kept men on the side. Poor Spencer. It’s a just shame for our Lillian; she’s genuinely fond of Spencer but can’t be with him.”

As she finished, heavy breathing could be heard from the side. Julian’s face was turning red with the effort to breathe, his hands spasming and curling up.

That kid Bri, she was a good girl; she wouldn’t do these things. He was desperate to object, but felt powerless. “Miranda, stop, stop the car, I need to go back for my medicine, I need my pills.”

Miranda, already irritable, grew more impatient. “Brielle’s at the hospital. You can hold on for another half hour, and I can drop you off there. We can check you in at their medical center. Julian, the Haywood family needs you right now, and Brielle only listens to you. Hang in there. If we turn back now, we’ll lose another half hour.”
