Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1448

Lying in bed with a heavy sigh, Kailee's phone buzzed-it was Clara, suggesting they meet up. After hanging up, Kailee couldn't help but grimace. Truth be told, Clara wasn't exactly her favorite person.

Resting until the evening, she headed to the gathering with her head held high, joined by two other "friends" who were nothing more than fair-weather companions. Upon her arrival, Clara couldn't resist taking a dig. "Must be nice, living off your family's fortune without having to work a day. Your brother will take care of
