Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 365

Brielle didn’t hesitate for a moment before she turned off her phone. Once it was off, she logged onto her computer and checked her WhatsApp, only to discover that it wasn’t just her phoner number that had been leaked; her WhatsApp was blown wide open, too. She was bombarded with new contact requests, and the accompanying messages were filled with curses and vitriol

This was a premeditated cyber assault. And it wasn’t just a virtual threat. If she didn’t address it soon, it could escalate into real–world violence.

Brielle skimmed through the messages in the group chat and saw that someone had taken a screenshot of Sarah’s cry for help..

–Help.

Just those two terse words, and silence thereafter. It seemed like it was Sarah who had stirred up the online mob.

But something didn’t add up. If Sarah merely wanted to use public opinion to force her out, why send a “Help” message in the group? Was Sarah planning to play the victim and then pin everything on her?

With that thought, Brielle didn’t second–guess her next move – she called the police.

Reporting the incident now was a smart move. There were surveillance cameras outside her house. It something had actually happened to Sarah, she had the perfect alibi.

Besides, stirring up online opinion would only incite strangers to morally grandstand and curse her, which wouldn’t physically harm Brielle in any way. She never cared about the opinions of these faceless masses.

Moreover, she had checked with HR, and Sarah hadn’t handed in her resignation. It looked like she intended to stay at Dorsey International. As long as Sarah remained at Dorsey, she was bound to slip up.
