Chapter 155
The charity had never experienced anything quite like it. Someone actually
changed the donor's name to their own.
“Ms. Brielle, we're recording everything here. If you need it, I can get a transcript
prepared for you now.”
“Sure, send it over.”
After hanging up the phone, she rubbed her temples and dialed the hospital.
The news that Mark had regained consciousness was a relief, but his spirits had
plummeted upon learning he'd be bound to a wheelchair.
In Brielle’s account, there were still tens of millions, just enough to find a new
location for the orphanage. Faith was probably not going to give up that piece of
land, but Brielle had a contract to protect her interests.
Before she could even speak, Max inquired, “Need a lawyer?”
Brielle nodded.
“Poke around the legal department at Dorsey International, and pick whoever you
fancy.” His tone was casual as he gathered all the documents. “As for the
orphanage relocation, ask Patrick.”
The legal department at Dorsey International was known as the Invincibles. It
was said that since their very first case, they had never lost. With their help, even
the toughest cases could be won, and they raked in hundreds of millions in
compensation for Dorsey International each year. With them in her corner, Faith
didn’t stand a chance.
Brielle thought it over and decided not to refuse the help. “Thanks.”
They walked side by side to the door. As they pulled it open, they ran into the
neighbor from the night before.
The neighbor, holding a bag of groceries, couldn't help but offer some advice
upon seeing them leave together. “Young man, what kind of future can you have
with this girl? How much can she pay you in a month? My niece owns five
properties, and she’s willing to give you two if you're interested — prime real
estate. You wouldn't have to worry about a thing. Think it over, with your looks,
you could have anyone?” Everyone loves a beautiful face, and Max was just the
type her high—and-mighty niece would fall for.
Brielle found it amusing and hurried to keep pace with Max, who had quickened
his steps. The neighbor's nagging followed them, “Why are you so stubborn?”
In the elevator, Brielle stifled a laugh and sneaked a peek at Max's stern
expression. His jaw was clenched, lips thin, and his eyes were sharp. The
temperature seemed to drop several degrees.

She was about to say something to lighten the mood when the doors opened,
and there stood Spencer.
Spencer’s pupils contracted sharply at the sight of them, his brain freezing,
unsure of how to
react.

How could he be at Brielle’s apartment, descending together no less?
He knew Max was a clean freak, usually only Patrick got that close to him. Yet
there Brielle stood, her arm nearly brushing Max’s suit — an intimate proximity.
Spencer's face paled, his mind racing with thoughts he dared not fully entertain.
Max remained impassive, stepping forward, “Came to see Brielle.” He didn't lie,
nor did he see the need to.
Spencer felt a chill, his lips trembling, as he incredulously turned to Brielle.

It couldn’t possibly be that his proud and reserved Uncle Max had descended to
favor a mortal woman. Impossible. Max would never do such a thing for a
woman.
Spencer scoffed at himself for even thinking it. Brielle might be somewhat
attractive, but she wasn’t the type to dazzle-Max.
“Brielle, you transferred ten million to the Haywood family. That's quite a
generous move. Are you that eager to cut ties? Remember, without the Haywood
family, you'll have no backup. Anyone could step on you.”
Brielle pushed past him, not sparing another glance, “When I was with the
Haywood family. I never used them as backup. As for being stepped on, anyone
is welcome to try.”
Spencer felt a pang in his chest, his voice hoarse as he grasped her wrist.
“Brielle, did you ever care for me, even the slightest bit?”
He didn’t know why he asked; he just couldn't let it go. In his mind, Brielle had
always been an outsider, someone easy to dismiss. Yet with the annulment of
their engagement imminent, he found himself flustered.
