Master of his heart

Chapter 134
Lillian felt like she was on the brink of a breakdown, both emotionally and
physically. She had fought tooth and nail for everything she had, only to see it
crumble to pieces.
If it wasn't for Brielle... If it wasn't for that bitch!.
Her eyes were bloodshot, her nails digging into her palms so hard they drew
blood. She wished she could just take Brielle down with her, right then and there.
Her breath was hot and heavy; her forehead had even left a bloody mark on the
hardwood floor. But she couldn't stop. She was terrified of being cast aside.
She was used to the high life, had had her fill of scraping by, and if the Haywoods
cut her off. she'd be worse off than a beggar on the streets.
She had to hold on tight.
In this moment, Lillian realized the stark difference between herself and Brielle,
much as she hated to admit it. Brielle had been tossed aside by the Haywoods
early on, yet she was thriving at Dorsey International. Without the Haywood’s
backing, Brielle still managed to shine, drawing a hefty salary, living the life of a
polished corporate queen.
Realizing this only deepened Lillian’s resentment. Why did Brielle get all the
breaks? While she. Lillian, was left to live like a worm in the dark, desperately
hoping someone would spare her a glance.
The overhead lights seemed to grow brighter, casting an unreal glow that
seemed to trap her in place. She awaited the Haywoods' verdict. Like a
condemned prisoner, clinging to a sliver of hope for survival.
If only she were queen of the hill, with everyone else under her heel. Her eyes
were rimmed with red as she thought this.
The tension in the room was palpable, silence heavy.
The phone rang at this moment, and she almost anxiously looked up at Miranda
and Robert. As expected, a hint of dissatisfaction appeared on both of their
faces:
Like a frightened animal, Lillian scrambled to silence her still-ringing phone. Why
would the director call her now? Of course, he must be looking for Brielle, she
thought bitterly. He always favored her. She felt sick to her stomach.
“Robert, I know things have come to a head and there’s no easy way out. I just
can't bear to lose you all.”
She was gambling, playing her last card, but before Robert could respond, the
doorbell rang.
Who would visit the Haywoods at such a time?
Bewilderment crossed everyone's faces until they saw Faith come in. Faith was

aware of the charged atmosphere as she entered. “Well, isn’t this a merry
gathering?”
Miranda and Robert's faces fell, but given Faith's status, they had no choice but
to receive her with strained politeness.
Faith moved to the side as if she were in her own home. “About that annulment I
mentioned last time, what have you decided? You've seen the video. I can’t
accept a daughter—in—law like Brielle.” One more scandal like that and her son
might never recover.

Apologize? A sneer appeared on Faith's face. Could an apology restore her son's
reputation?
“Her apology is worthless. My son has become the laughingstock of the town,
and who's to blame for that? And Lillian, she’s one of yours too.”
Just moments ago, Miranda and Robert had been acting superior, but in front of
Faith, they were like schoolchildren caught misbehaving.

Hearing this, Lillian’s face went ashen. Faith used to show her some favor, but
these words were a clear sign she was being abandoned.
Her hands trembled by her sides. If Robert turned her away and Faith insisted
