Chapter 166
At this juncture, it seemed to everyone that Brielle had lost spectacularly, like a
court jester in the midst of his final, pitiful tumble. Even from the audience, there
were sympathetic glances. cast towards Robert, whose business associates had
begun offering their consolations.
And Spencer, he felt more than ever that his choice was right. Brielle, an enigma
with no clear background, simply wasn’t worthy of him.
The quietest person in the entire hall had to be Max. Even in the midst of this
unfolding drama. he remained unshaken, occasionally casting a slight,
mysterious smile in Brielle’s direction. No one could tell if he was mocking her or
if it was something else.
As for Miranda and Lillian, they exchanged looks that seemed to say they found
Brielle utterly laughable. At this point, whipping out a screenshot of a money
transfer would only serve as evidence of her humiliation.
All her boasts of being a Director at Dorsey International now seemed rather
hollow.
While everyone was still abuzz with gossip, they noticed the big screen change
to display a spreadsheet. This spreadsheet detailed various expenses with
corresponding invoices and prices. The crowd's faces registered shock. Whose
expenses were these?
The hall fell silent, eyes riveted to the spreadsheet. Involuntarily, they turned to
Brielle.
Her expression unchanged, she began to explain methodically, “This is the sum
of money the Haywood family has spent on me over the years, which amounts to
less than two million. In my ten million, I have also included various interests and
adjusted for inflation. So, what exactly have they lost?”
The spreadsheet was meticulous, detailing down to the number of clothes the
Haywoods had bought for her.
The necklace Miranda purchased for her, complete with the receipt.
The gifts Cameron brought her from abroad, with their prices listed.
The audience's expressions were a mix of emotions as Brielle continued to add
details.
“Some might argue that the Haywood family has spent time and energy on me
which surely counts for something. For this, I have prepared another
spreadsheet.”
With that, the screen shifted to the next image. She spoke not as someone
unraveling her past, but as if she were in the midst of a business negotiation.
Illustrating her points with examples, her logic was undeniable.
“This shows the time I spent at home during my middle school, high school, and
college years. After graduating with top honors from Beaconsfield, I tutored for
three months before college, earning enough to cover my living expenses. So,
what energy exactly did the Haywood family invest in me? From a young age,
they arranged tutors for Lillian. They even sent me to learn taekwondo for Lillian’s
personal safety. What do I owe her?”

The level of detail in the spreadsheet left little room for rebuttal.
“The Haywoods provide Lillian with luxury cars, designer clothes, jewelry worth
millions. Have I ever said a word?”
Her face was serene as she recounted these disparities, showing no sign of
feeling aggrieved. yet her words left a lump in the listeners® throats. If this was
true, was she ever really treated as a daughter of the Haywood family? Why the
stark difference?

Even Brielle paid her no mind, instead raising her gaze to address the man who
had spoken. “I exploited the Dorsey family for resources? What resources?
Connections? Then tell me, who here would call themselves my friend?”
Her self-deprecating, almost sardonic retort effectively silenced her critic.
Who was Brielle’s friend, indeed? Most people just viewed her as a joke, let
alone considering any social connections.
