Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1119

Tiffanie couldn't get a single word out, her neck quickly showing a bright red welt. Everett looked like he hated her guts, his eyes bloodshot as he glared, as if he wanted to strangle her right then and there.

She thought she was done for. This man seemed like he'd crawled out from the depths of hell, ready to unload all his anger about the Dorsey family onto her. Her vision began to blur, but the sound of a key dropping from Everett's hand snapped him out of his rage. His face froze, and he let her go, carefully picking up the key. "The Dorsey family's bankrupt, so you must be out of cash. North America's more liberal; why don't you go hustle on the streets? Now get lost."

With a shove, Tiffanie tumbled out of the car. Everett didn't even look back, just floored it and sped away.
