Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 480

Two days later, at the prison.

Brielle was somewhat stunned when she was told she could leave. Lifting her gaze to the sunlight streaming through the prison gates, she involuntarily closed her eyes. It all felt so surreal; the light was so intense it almost brought tears to her eyes.

The room she had been staying in was dimly lit, and having spent time in solitary, she hadn’t been bathed in sunlight like this for ages.

She awkwardly wiped her eyes as the man in uniform beside her returned her cell phone. “Ms. Brielle, the Dorsey family has decided not to pursue the matter further, and here’s your resignation letter. Someone asked me to give this to you.”

Resignation letter? Rubbing her eyes, Brielle took the brief document and saw Max’s signature at the bottom. It felt like a thousand needles piercing straight into her heart. Her face turned pale as she clutched the paper tightly.

The uniformed man said nothing more and turned to re–enter the building.

Standing amidst the flood of light, Brielle could feel the warmth of the sun, yet she felt as if she were still in that dark cell, surrounded by shadow, and her mind a complete blank.

She sat down, lost and bewildered, only to see a car slowly approach and stop beside her. The car door opened, revealing Aubree’s face, alight with surprise. “You’re free! I couldn’t believe it. when I got the call. I thought I was dreaming. How on earth did the Dorsey family let you off the hook?”

Brielle’s eyes still held a touch of bewilderment, but she latched onto the key point in Aubree’s
