Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 517

As the night sky lit up with a magnificent meteor shower, all eyes were drawn upward, entranced by the celestial spectacle. No one noticed the drama unfolding by the poolside except for Alivia and Jaired.

Alivia’s expression was icy as she watched the scene with a chilling indifference. Poor Tessa couldn’t swim to save her life, and with Brielle’s reckless move, it was very likely that Tessa could drown in the deep end.

A smirk curled on Alivia’s lips as Jaired’s voice whispered in her ear. “Aren’t you going to save her?”

“No,” she replied coolly. “If Tessa has an accident because of Brielle, the Rowland family won’t let it slide. Neither will Andrew.”

“I thought Tessa was your friend?”

“Friends? Aren’t they just tools to be used?”

Her tone was flippant, and Jaired chuckled softly beside her. “Alivia, you haven’t changed a bit since the day I met you.”

In front of Jaired, Alivia never felt the need to hide who she was. He knew her true nature, and it seemed the more flawed she was, the more he was drawn to her. Only in his presence did she

ever feel at ease.

Meanwhile, Brielle choked on a gulp of water in the pool as she tried to surface. But Tessa, in her panic, clung to her desperately as if determined to drag them both down to the murky depths.
