Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 382

“William Dorsey, a board member at Dorsey International.”

The name etched itself into Sue’s memory before she bowed her head.

“I’m sorry, I can’t stand up for you online. The court of public opinion is fierce. Even if I spoke up now and said none of this mess has anything to do with you, people would only think I’m under your thumb and that I’m speaking out because you coerced me.”

Brielle could finally breathe a sigh of relief. When Sue wasn’t being headstrong, at least her intellect was on point.

“I never expected you to clear my name. You speaking up for me would only make people more suspicious. But aren’t you worried that I might have bullied your daughter?”

Sue looked down, her gaze empty and hollow.

“The first time I met you, I didn’t think you were capable of that. In fact, I regret going to Dorsey International with Simon. If he hadn’t been so greedy, he wouldn’t have ended up dead.”

She took a deep breath, her eyelashes quivering. “Someone has been sending texts, instructing us what to do. But whoever it is, they’re high up and untouchable. That number can’t be traced.” “Sue, I don’t need you to do anything. Just don’t harm yourself and pin it all on me.”

Brielle cut her off, not wanting to linger.

Sue was stunned, then a wave of fear washed over her, and she gave a bitter smile.

“That’s exactly what they told me to do. My life is worthless anyway.”

“No one on this earth has the right to determine our worth, whether we think we’re valuable or not.”

After those words, Brielle walked away.
