Master of his heart

Chapter 225
Brielle rolled her eyes internally. Just moments ago, Sophia had taken out
several bottles of medication, and now she was blatantly lying through her teeth.
The others were petrified, Someone was frantically dialing for an ambulance
while cursing Brielle under their breath, Chaos reigned for a moment, and
Tessa's gaze was fixed on Brielle with disbelief. She refused to accept that Brielle
wasn't scared.
She absolutely loathed it when someone made a mockery of her health. That
was her red line. Today, Tessa was determined to make Brielle pay.
Tessa wasn't anywhere close to fainting, but to strike fear into Brielle, she feigned
losing consciousness. Sophia and the other classmates hurried to help Tessa out
the door, casting malevolent glances at Brielle on their way out. “I'd like to see
you wriggle your way out of this one,” Sophia sneered.
Brielle remained silent. In less than twenty minutes, the private room was left with
just her and Mason—an outcome she hadn't anticipated.
Mason, ever so collected, served her a bowl of soup and teased, “Congrats, Ms.
Brielle, on a
victorious first battle.”
Brielle furrowed her brows. “Why do I get the feeling she was faking it?”
“Probably was. It’s not the first time she’s pulled a stunt like this.”
Brielle was taken aback. After all, Tessa was born with a silver spoon in her
mouth and protected every step of the way by Andrew. Was all this really
necessary?
Mason twirled the glass in his hand, his voice nonchalant. “In high school, there
was this girl who did well academically, our class rep. She once pressed Tessa
for homework. That girl was a bookworm, not the type to butter up Tessa like the
others did, and Tessa had it out for her from the start. Plus, that girl was quite the
looker—had a bunch of guys in our class crushing on her-which made her a thorn
in Tessa's side.”
As he rotated the glass, Mason continued, “When she pressed for homework,
Tessa collapsed. The whole class turned on the girl, and the Rowland family
intervened, forcing her to withdraw from school. Within a week, she jumped off
the tallest building on campus. Her mother fainted from grief when she came to
identify the body.”
Brielle had not expected Tessa to have such a dark history and felt a tightness in
her chest. “Didn't the Rowland family pay any compensation?”
Mason chuckled dryly, setting down his glass, “Not a dime. Instead, they took the
girl's mother to court and had her fined fifty thousand for emotional damages.”
What kind of world was this? Brielle felt sick just hearing about it.
Mason casually continued eating, seemingly accustomed to such stories.
