Master of his heart

Chapter 380
Brielle approached the silent woman, crouching down to meet her gaze eye—to—
eye.
“Let's not beat around the bush. Have you ever genuinely cared about your
daughter?”
Sue's pupils shrank sharply as she stumbled backward.
“Why should I care about that trash?! Don’t you know she was fooling around
with boys outside of school when she was just in middle school? She's younger
than me, prettier than me. What if she fell for Simon? Several times, I've felt
Simon's gaze on her was just not right.”
Brielle could no longer contain her anger, and her hand flew across Sue's face in
a swift slap.
She hated resorting to violence against another woman, but Sue's morals were
rotten to the core.
How could someone who had attended a proper university turn into what she
was now?
Sue was stunned by the slap, and after regaining her senses, she began to
scream towards the door.
“Murder! Brielle’s committing murder! Help, someone! Brielle is trying to kill
someone at the police station!”
The police arrived promptly, their brows furrowed in question. “What's going on
here?”
Sue's hair was disheveled as she pointed accusingly at Brielle.
“She's trying to kill me! Arrest her, that bitch! She even hit me right in front of you,
showing no respect for the law.”
The imprint of Brielle’s fingers was still visible on Sue’s cheek from the force of
the slap, b
ut her frantic behavior made it almost seem as if Sue could have slapped herself.
Brielle smiled at the officers. “I'l be done in ten minutes.”
“Ms. Brielle, please refrain from violence. Such actions are illegal within the
precinct.”
Brielle remained silent, noticing Sue’s smug look.
When the police had left, Brielle took a deep breath.

“Sue, I'm only going to say this and after that, I won’t bother with you again.
Whether you
live or die is of no concern to me.”
“You think it was me who ruined you, but your miserable life began when you met
Simon. Right from the start, he was planning to control you by belittling you in
every aspect — your family. your education, your job. And you, amidst all this
belittling, began to doubt yourself. Simon took advantage of this, elevating his
status in your heart. The more you depended on him, the higher. his pedestal
became, and the more willing you were to sacrifice everything for him. It's a
vicious cycle. Without him, you feel you have nothing.

Brielle had no interest in saving someone beyond hope.
The addiction to love, like alcoholism or gambling, offered Sue an unparalleled
high. For that high, she'd endure any abuse, a dependency that left her a shell of
her former self.
And what of Simon? A man like him who no girls would fall for was undeserving
of a girl who had been so well-protected. Her seeing him as the be-all and end—
all of her life was ludicrous.
Brielle had no desire to play savior to a stranger.
Just as she was about to step through the door, Sue's voice stopped her, “Who is
it?”
Brielle turned to see Sue standing up, her cheek still marked by the slap,
hoarsely asking. “Who's behind all of this?”
