Master of his heart

Chapter 169
By the time things had reached this stage, nobody in the room was willing to
speak up for Lillian. Even Spencer felt as though his cheeks were on fire.
Had Lillian really broken the law? Was Brielle the one who had been making the
donations all along? How could Lillian do such a thing? The cracks in their once
beautiful relationship were showing, but he didn’t want to admit it.
At that moment, it seemed that Lillian finally remembered him, calling out through
her tears, “Spencer!”
Her innocent demeanor, that wronged tone in her voice, made it seem as though
she was the one who had been mistreated. Spencer stood amidst the crowd, his
mind thundering with confusion.
Brielle, witnessing their deep connection, couldn't help but let out a chuckle,
“Spencer, I forgot. to mention earlier, consider our engagement off. You love
Lillian so much, and now that she’s in trouble, you should be the first to step up,
as her fiancé, and bail her out, right?”
Lillian’s eyes were bloodshot with hatred. That bitch!
Spencer, however, was frozen in place as if someone had struck his pressure
point. He was at a loss, even looking up at Faith for some kind of guidance.
What should he do in a situation like this?
In the crowd, Faith's expression was so dark it was almost comical. After tonight,
Lillian would surely become the laughingstock of their circle. Livid, Faith made a
snap decision and stepped forward with a fagade of kindness. “Bri, dear, the prior
mess was Spencer's fault. We had no idea Lillian was such a person.”
Faith quickly weighed the pros and cons, deciding that distancing herself from
the joke that was Lillian was the best course of action.
Brielle raised an eyebrow, her gaze dripping with sarcasm, curious about what
Faith was going to say.
Faith's forehead beaded with sweat as she grasped Spencer's hand, almost as if
she were pushing him toward a decision. “Bri, don’t talk nonsense about calling
off the engagement. Spencer does care for you. He's just temporarily confused,
that's all. His fling with Lillian was just a moment of folly. You two should work
things out and not let others come between you.”
Faith had endured so much for the sake of Ryan's reputation, which spoke
volumes about her character. Now that Brielle had garnered sympathy and
admiration from the onlookers, there was no way Faith would let her son be
associated with Lillian’s stain. Even if Faith disliked Brielle, she had to swallow
her pride.
She glanced up at Max, who sat collected, a rosary draped over his wrist,
seemingly indifferent to the proceedings as if they were but a trivial play before
him.

Faith withdrew her gaze. After all, Brielle had caught Max's eye, and the
engagement, for the time being, could not be broken.
Brielle had never expected Falth, who despised her the most, to be so flexible.
She found it amusing. “Ms. Faith, it’s a pity, but I'm the one ending the
engagement.”

That last statement was a severe one. To be seen as lacking conviction in front of
Max was tantamount to being completely cut off from returning to Dorsey
International.
Brielle’s use of Max's name left Faith speechless.

But her slap was caught mid-air by someone else. Following the strong wrist, her

With that one cool remark, Faith's fire was extinguished, leaving her flustered,
