Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

A few days ago, the media dropped a bombshell with a snapshot of Max's silhouette, breaking hearts left and right.

Alivia had been professing her love for Max, but behind his back, she was up to some seriously shady stuff. No wonder Dorsey International's top brass felt the need to step in and set things straight-they were absolutely furious! "Unbelievable, the audacity of her! Mr. Dorsey has always kept quiet, but this must've really hit a nerve!"

"I thought they were a match made in heaven! What a joke! Alivia, do you even deserve Max?!"

"Mr. Dorsey deserves way better. She's not worth the drama. Just thinking about it makes my blood boil, no wonder the company had to speak up."

"Alivia always portrayed herself as Miss Perfect online, but who would've guessed this was her true face? My heart goes out to Mr. Dorsey. I hope he finds his true love soon."

Thanks to the official statement, Max was painted as a humble admirer right from the start. Support for Max to find someone who truly appreciated him was overwhelming. Even Dorsey International's stock prices soared. Meanwhile, Alivia's legs gave out beneath her as she read the online tirades against her. Her lips trembled, but she couldn't form a coherent word.

How could this be happening?

How?!

Her teeth clenched, eyes filled with resentment.

That damned Brielle! What did she have that made Max go to such lengths?!

It was Brielle who shamelessly threw herself at Max, not the other way around!
