Chapter 540
Her voice was nonchalant as she stepped on the gas, and the car zoomed away.
Spencer didn’t chase after her, his tears falling harder as he bit down on his
teeth, refusing to let his sobs be heard.
Glancing at the clothes she had discarded, he walked over with shaky legs,
picked them up. and hugged them to his chest as he continued to cry.
Brielle caught a glimpse of Spencer's silhouette in the rearview mirror and
involuntarily hit the brakes. A minute later, she looked up, letting the chilly breeze
from outside whip across her face, stinging her cheeks, before she pressed down
on the accelerator again.
Of all the Dorseys, Spencer was probably the luckiest. He had Faith’s undying
adoration, and after coming of age, Brielle, the ever—dutiful fool, shielded him
from harm. He never knew real cruelty, never knew despair, and that was why he
couldn’t handle even the slightest pain, which shaped his petulant nature.
He could betray others, but heaven forbid they betray him. He could toy with
people's feelings, but no one was allowed to play with his. He was still like a
spoiled child, thinking anyone who wasn’t on his side deserved to be destroyed.
However, Max and Tiffanie, also of the Dorsey clan, were different.
Max was thrust in front of everyone at the tender age of ten by the ruthless
Michael, and only he knew the hardships he faced.
Tiffanie’s very existence was a sin. Her mother, Victoria, detested her to the
bone, while to Everett, she was the reason for his downfall.
Out of all the Dorseys, Spencer had it the easiest. But as Brielle said, he certainly
didn't live up to being a man.
On her way back, Brielle’s phone went off like mad, and a blinding light in the
distance seemed to tear through the surrounding darkness.
She squinted, pulling over to the side of the road, as the other vehicle did the
same. It was
Max’s car.
Max had tracked her down in a hurry, only to find her driving alone back to the
city. “Brielle?”
Max frowned, hastening his step towards her. “Are you alright?”
He leaned in slightly, his hands resting on her shoulders, examining her.
Brielle looked up and smiled at him. She wasn't too affected by the substances
she'd inhaled, but the cold air did sober her up a bit. She noticed several cars
following Max's, and the passenger in the first car stepped out-it was the man
she had seen in prison.
He stood at a distancé, nodding respectfully before turning his gaze away.
“I'm fine.”
15:45
“Who was it?”
A flash of murderous intent crossed Max's eyes, his grip on her shoulders
tightening. Brielle. knew he was worried, but thinking of Spencer still at the
scene, weeping inconsolably, she lost any desire for revenge. Those few words
had likely shattered his remaining pride and self-esteem. Nothing could hurt
Spencer more than that.
it's no one. Let's go back. I'm really hungry.”
Max relaxed, stroking her head gently. “I'm- The words “I'm sorry” hung
unspoken.
Brielle didn’t want to drive her car anymore; she was too drained, hungry and
cold.

Brielle found it amusing. “Did Michael call you to say something?”
Max averted his gaze, his demeanor turning cold once more as if bracing for
another argument. “Yeah, he forbade me from helping you.”

She needed to grow, and fast.
Meanwhile, back at the Dorsey estate, Michael had begun practicing his
calligraphy in his study.
The butler, after some thought, couldn’t help but ask.
“If Ms. Brielle really does solve Stellar Stage Entertainment's problems, are you
sure you want her to join the Dorsey family?”
A harsh streak crossed Michael's brow. “If she’s truly capable, then Stellar Stage
Entertainment will triple in size. I'll gift the company to Alivia as compensation for
her troubles.”
The old fox knew how to play the game—using Brielle’s hard—earned success to
appease
Alivia’s grievances, thus satisfying both Alivia and the Barnes family.
