Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 612

Sydney had played a pivotal role in the drama unfolding between Aubree and Adrian. It was clear that she was the key to understanding the whole mess.

Brielle hopped into her car and drove straight to the place where the two were being held.

Adrian was already awake, glaring at her with such resentment that it seemed he would love nothing more than to tear her to pieces.

Brielle chuckled, “You know, I don’t recall having any bad blood with you, so why don’t you enlighten me on why you decided to pull that stunt last night?”
