Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 579
Brielle had stealthily retreated fifty meters away from the window, the bone—
chilling breeze of the evening slicing through her skin and settling deep into her
marrow. She slapped her cheeks in an attempt to stay alert, a movement that
sent a jolt of pain through her wrist.
She had covered her wrist with her sleeve when she went to meet Max. It was
winter, after all, and no one could spot the abnormality as long as she didn’t take
off her coat. However, her recent gesture had been a bit too vigorous, and the
freshly stitched wound on her hand throbbed with pain.
Thinking that Max would be a while longer, she slipped into the restroom down
the hall. The restroom was spotlessly clean, and just as she rolled up her sleeve,
footsteps echoed at the doorway it was Alivia.
If she were Alivia, she wouldn't keep putting herself in a position to be humiliated.
After all, Max didn’t love Alivia, and that was Brielle’s trump card.
Alivia stood at the doorway, her arms crossed, her expression stormy. “Martha
sent me out and said she had something to discuss privately with Max. I've got
no idea what they're talking about or whether Max can hold out, considering
Martha is, quite literally, betting her life on
this.”
Her gaze fell on Brielle’s wrist, her eyebrows lifting slightly, “Oh, did you get hurt?
Max is really careless, not even noticing your injury. Aren't you two supposedly
up close and personal every night? How could he overlook something like this?
He isn't treating you like some sort of sex dall after the lights go out, is he?”
For the first time, Brielle realized just how spiteful Alivia could be. As perfect and
composed as she seemed to others, that was how petty and terrible she was
when it came to Brielle.
Love could bring out the ugliest sides of a woman, not just in clashes with a rival
but also in those heart-wrenching cries for a man.
Brielle usually avoided such disgraceful situations. If someone didn't care for her,
she wouldn't abandon her dignity to cling to them.
“Ms. Alivia, you seem so intrigued by my intimate life with Max. Perhaps you'd
like me to make a video for you next time?” Brielle quipped as she rolled up her
sleeve, a smile on her face. However, seeing the blood—soaked bandage, her
brow creased ever so slightly, fearing the wound had reopened.
As she was thinking about whether she should check into the hospital later, she
was startled by the sound of high heels approaching.
“You bitch!”
Caught off guard, Alivia yanked Brielle’s hand, submerged the injured wrist under
the cold tap, and turned the water on full blast. “Deserved! Does it hurt, Brielle?”

The tap water on the wound could easily lead to an infection. Brielle shoved
Alivia away, the pain in her wrist sharp and excruciating.
Alivia let out a soft chuckle, her eyes skimming with feigned innocence. “Oops,
my bad. That wasn't intentional.”
Brielle’s forehead beaded with sweat from the pain. The wound was deep and
stitched, and now that the bandage was soaked, the blood was beginning to
spread.
Alivia flipped her hair. “Looks like your wound is bleeding. Maybe you should take
care of it yourself.” With that, she turned to leave.
Brielle lowered her gaze, deliberately peeling off the bandage, her tone
indifferent, “Did I say your could leave?”
Alivia’s footsteps faltered, her sneer returning. “Oh? And what do you plan to do
about it?”

How could Brielle look at her with such eyes?! Alivia's brow furrowed. She usually
looked at others in that way.
“Brielle, I'd advise you to watch your gaze, or else I might just tear. that wound
right open.”
