Master of his heart

Chapter 175
Inside the police station, Brielle was diligently answering an officers questions.
She had handed over Sophia's photo to the authorities, hoping they could glean
some clues about her whereabouts from the background scenery.
The police quickly got in touch with the Rowland family and forwarded them the
photograph.
Since it was Brielle’s lead, she wasn’t excluded from the conversation with the
Rowland family.
The one who answered the phone was Tessa. Upon hearing it was Brielle’s
photo, her first response was, “Why haven't you arrested Brielle?”
The officer, caught off guard, glanced reflexively at Brielle and replied somewhat
defensively. “Ms. Tessa, you might have misunderstood. It was Miss Brielle who
provided the photo, and she is the kidnapper’s next target.”
“Officer, you say Brielle is the next target, but what connection does she have
with my cousin? If the kidnappers motive is to abduct wealthy young ladies, then
Brielle certainly wouldn't be on their list. Besides, everyone knows there's bad
blood between Sophia and Brielle, and it was at last night's banquet that Sophia
disappeared. Everyone is fully aware of how Brielle strutted around at the
banquet.”
Tessa's tone was full of conviction, “Brielle is the most likely suspect for Sophia's
abduction. If you don't arrest her, I'll take this to court and have a subpoena
delivered to her doorstep.”
The officer was at a loss for words, unprepared for such a blunt accusation from
the Rowland family.
Brielle took the phone from the officer, “Ms. Tessa, if the subpoena reaches me,
I'll surely sign my name neatly. I hope you keep your word.”
Tessa hadn't expected Brielle to be there, let alone overhear her.
Feeling a touch of embarrassment, Tessa’s voice chilled, “Do you know who
you're speaking to?”
In the social circles of Beaconsfield, Tessa held considerable sway, which was
why Tiffanie had advised Brielle not to cross her.
Tessa had a loyal hound in Andrew, ready to clear any obstacle at her whim.
Except for a few teenage years when health issues almost relegated her to the
countryside. Tessa had always been at the center of social circles, never before
subjected to such mockery. Stunned by Brielle’s retort, Tessa was momentarily
speechless. By the time she composed a reply, the line had gone dead.
It was like punching into a cushion—frustrating and unsatisfying.

Coughing in irritation and clenching her teeth, Tessa glared at her phone.
Sophia was right; Brielle was indeed infuriating.
After hanging up, Brielle looked up at the officer, “Sorry about that, the call
dropped. I've finished giving my statement. Can I go home now? The police will
be keeping watch around my apartment, right?”
The officer nodded, “Don’t worry, our colleagues will be on the lookout for any
suspicious individuals near your residence.”
