Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 562

Alivia had connections that seemed to reach into every corner of the glittering world of Hollywood. Her brother, Kenzo, was the hottest screenwriter of the past few years, having penned scripts that were practically worth their weight in gold, Nearly every big–name director in the industry had sought his collaboration, making the Barnes family a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment circles. Naturally, that extensive network of contacts spilled into Alivia’s lap.

Brielle, an orphan with no resources to speak of, managed to get a little bit of favor from May, but what else could she hope for?

Alivia’s eyes were filled with disdain as she said, “I won’t let those famous directors work with her. Consider it me getting back at her for you.”

Her words sounded sweet but were self–serving at their core,

Tessa’s expression remained sour. This was far from enough for her. She wanted to see Brielle trampled into the mud, wanted to plerce her heart so deeply that she’d wish for death.

“Alivia, what can I do to make her suffer?” Tessa asked, her voice heavy with malice.

Alivia patted her back soothingly while her words wove a web of temptation. “Remember what I told you last time? If you can’t beat Brielle directly, then hit her through someone else. Aubree is the perfect target. If something happened to her, Brielle would be devastated. She wouldn’t be able to live in peace, ever. And you, my dear, can easily manipulate Aubree, can’t you?”

A cold smirk appeared on Tessa’s face, her hand balling into a fist at her side. “Since my health started declining, Andrew has stayed at the Rowland mansion and hasn’t gone back. Aubree must be feeling the strain by now. You’re right. I’ll start by targeting Aubree. That will hurt Brielle the most, and Andrew won’t do anything to me for it. After all, he and Aubree deserve what’s coming!”

Inside, Alivia laughed triumphantly. Exactly, that was the plan. Brielle’s remaining friends would suffer because of her, and then what time would she have left to whisper sweet nothings with Max?
