Master of his heart

Chapter 296
After hanging up the phone, Brielle stared blankly at her mobile device. Max
hadn't answered her call. Could it be that Lillian had used her phone to set up a
meeting with Max?
Brielle was beside herself with worry, itching to leap out of bed.
Aubree steadied her, a puzzled frown creasing her brow. “If Max lacked even the
most basic vigilance, he'd have been taken out a long time ago. A mere Lillian
couldn’t possibly outmaneuver him. You should be more concerned about
yourself right now.”
Brielle’s lips trembled as she slowly lay back down. “But he really didn’t answer,
and Patrick mentioned he was feeling unwell.”
Aubree would never believe that Lillian could get one over on Max. In her mind,
Lillian was nothing but a venomous little daisy, whose dark tactics couldn't hold a
candle to Max's capabilities.
“Aubree, could you please check with Andrew for me? Ask him where Max is?”
Brielle had thought about calling Kenzo again, but after several attempts already,
she was worried about annoying him. Besides, Kenzo was Alivia’s brother.
Aubree sighed as her hand massaged her temples. “Bri, don’t say I didn’t warn
you. Falling for Max is a thousand times more embarrassing than my thing for
Andrew.”
Brielle hung her head, fully aware of the truth in those words. When she first got
to know Max, she thought she was clear-headed enough not to cross certain
lines. She was in it for the thrill convinced that their relationship was purely
transactional.
But once feelings got involved, it was a one-sided affair. Max wouldn't join her on
her stage. and if her affections were ever to be discovered, he might even recoil
in disgust.
Brielle felt a headache coming on. Why had she never felt this conflicted with
Spencer? When Spencer had wronged her, all she wanted was to bite back with
venomous fangs. But if Max ever trampled on her heart, she doubted she would
even have the courage to retaliate.
Seeing Brielle’s pallor, Aubree finally caved and pulled out her phone. “I'll call
Andrew right
now.”
“Thank you.” After Brielle murmured her thanks, she rested quietly against the
headboard.
Aubree quickly dialed and hit the call button. “It's me.”
Andrew had already settled into the living room, with his legs crossed atop the
coffee table, and a subtle smugness in his gaze. “What's up?”
“Do you know where Max is?” Aubree was straightforward and didn’t beat around
the bush.
Andrew knew Aubree had visited Brielle, so this question was likely asked on
Brielle’s behalf.
Thinking of Max's demeanor the previous night. Andrew's eyes chilled over, and
his lips curved

If it wasn’t Max, what was Lillian’s game plan last night? Lillian was cornered and
wouldn't waste time on meaningless acts.
“I've always said men are no good, and Max has obviously chosen Alivia over
you.”
Aubree’s words were hard to bear, but sometimes, the harsh truth was the best
