Master of his heart

Chapter 279
The hatred was like lava, scalding Brielle’s heart until it trembled. She feared
Cameron might take another drastic measure, but he merely gazed at her with
profound intensity, barely clinging to his sanity.
“Lillian’s lost three fingers, Brielle. If you want Grandpa to live out his days in
peace, you'll tell Max to back off. Lillian should be out of the station by now.
Three fingers should suffice to quench your grudge, right? If I don’t get your call
by six tonight, I'll pay Grandpa a visit.
With that, he followed the doctor who had entered, helping Miranda as they left.
The moment the hospital door shut, Aubree retched again, her face deathly pale.
“Were those really Lillian’s fingers?”
Brielle leaned back against her pillow, her voice calm. “Yeah.”
This was Aubree’s first brush with such a scene, her stomach churning with acid,
feeling as if her very teeth were souring. “Bri, Max couldn't have done this, could
he?”
“No, it wasn't him.”
Maybe Max had another side to him, but he’d never present such a gruesome
gift.
Then who? Who harbored such deep resentment towards Lillian? Her head
throbbed with the effort of thinking, but no clear leads emerged.
Aubree packed away the food she’d brought, tossing it into the trash can. “Could
it be someone. else from the Dorsey family trying to scare you?”
Brielle considered William and Ryan, but such an act served them no benefit.
Besides, Ryan was still searching for Spencer and couldn't afford to be distracted
by other matters.
“I don't know.”
Brielle’s head ached, the shock of those severed fingers still lingering in her
mind. And now. with Cameron's threat, should she really contact Max and ask
him to stop?
As Cameron had said, Julian was a Haywood through and through. The downfall
of the Haywood family would surely affect him. Julian didn’t have many days left.
Brielle was torn, feeling as though something was drilling into her head.
Sensing Brielle’s exhaustion, Aubree stood up. “Bri, don't take this the wrong
way, but while Julians been good to you, you've been just as good to him as
well. He's the Haywood’s responsibility, not yours. They have no right to use him
to manipulate you. Think about all the hurt they've inflicted on you. Can you really
let it go just like that? If Max really took action for you, and you tell him to stop,
what does that make him? Weigh it out. I'll come and check on you later.”
To survive in the cutthroat circles of Beaconsfield, you had to let go of some
things—like.

emotions, like humanity. The more you discarded, the higher you rose. Those
who couldn't let go ended up achieving nothing.
If she continued to be shackled by the Haywoods® demands, she would indeed
accomplish nothing.
However, Brielle’s mind conjured Julians face, kind and benevolent, one of the
most significant figures in her life, along with Mark.
But now, both had become leverage against her.
She glanced down at her legs and smiled faintly.
