Master of his heart

Chapter 498
Alivia had a poker face that could fool the best of them.
If she were to make a list of people Alivia despised, Brielle would take the top
spot without contest. Yet, the man Alivia couldn't have was warming the bed of
her most hated rival. Instead of crumbling, Alivia managed to keep her
composure and even made a dignified appearance. When people like her
snapped, it was a sight to behold.
Brielle lowered her gaze, tucking her phone away. She noticed the streets
bustling with activity and leaned in closer to Max. “Hey, Max, is it a holiday or
something?”
Max glanced up from the papers in his hands, amused at her face almost
pressed against the glass. “Yeah, in three days, it's New Year's.”
Their first New Year's together was always going to be special.
A small smile curled at the corner of Brielle’s lips, but she remained silent. When
the car pulled up in front of a suburban mansion, Brielle looked puzzled. Where
was this?
Several people stood at the entrance, one of them being the uniformed man who
had guarded her in jail. “Boss.” The man called out, his eyes landing on Brielle as
he nodded in greeting.
Brielle picked up on the informal title. It wasn’t Mr. Dorsey or the CEO, indicating
a different power dynamic at play with Max.
She followed him into the foyer, where two people were on their knees. They
were the doctors from the clinic that had operated on her.
Blindfolded and trembling, the doctors prostrated themselves upon hearing
footsteps. “Mr. Dorsey, we were sorry. We truly realize our mistake.”
Brielle said nothing, her grip on Max's sleeve tightening, her face paling.
Max knew. He knew about the baby. She lowered her eyes, feeling as though a
blade was twisting in her heart.
The uniformed man offered Brielle a chair, his voice gentle. “Ms. Brielle, please
sit.
After being up all night and suddenly confronted by these doctors, Brielle was
indeed not in the best shape. She slowly sat down. The uniformed man’s voice
was so soft that only Brielle could
hear him.
The doctors were ignorant of the reason they were there, but they knew it was
because of Brielle.
“Mr. Dorsey, we'll tell you everything. Please spare us.”
They had committed too many misdeeds over the years, knowing retribution
would come, yet they hadn’t expected it so soon.
Max stood quietly for a moment, then ruffled Brielle’s hair in a comforting gesture,
but his

The doctors omitted the part where Alivia pinned everything on Martha, more out
of ignorance about Martha than intent to deceive.
As for Brielle, she was thunderstruck. Was she not pregnant? She couldn't
believe her ears, thinking she was hallucinating.

The doctors, shaking, continued. “Ms. Brielle was heartbroken when she woke
up. She barely ate over four days, surviving on glucose. Sometimes, I wavered,
wondering whether to tell her the truth. But after years at the clinic, knowing so
many secrets, we didn't dare. Mr. Dorsey, we are really sorry. Next time, if there's
surgery for Ms. Brielle, we will personally call you.”
Max gestured to the uniformed man, who understood and led the doctors out.

Brielle’s eyes widened, torn between tears and laughter. She had nearly cried
herself dry over those few days for a child that had never existed, only to be told
itwas all a ruse.
Blinking back the sting in her eyes, she should have felt relieved, but a smile
eluded her. So, had he been investigating these past few days? How did he
come to suspect anything?
Max seemed to anticipate her question and simply said, “I overheard Alivia
talking to your assistant.
