Chapter 72
Love not only brought bitterness but also pain. It made one lose oneself, become
weak, and never be able to harden their heart again.
“Crack.” Brielle popped open a can tab, placing a Coke in front of her.
Aubree stubbed out her cigarette, unable to resist taking several large gulps,
“Besides, the Dorsey family has Michael keeping watch.”
Aubree seemed especially concerned that Brielle would lose her head, especially
since she'd already taken a fall for Spencer.
But Spencer, what was he anyway? Nothing but a rain puddle, easily filled and
forgotten.
Aubree was about to add more when she noticed Brielle had already piled up a
bunch of files, seriously sorting through work documents. Her genuine concern
seemed laughably out of place at this sight, but then she thought again and
couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.
“There you go! That's the spirit. Keep it up. You got an orgasm and you got a
promotion to boot. Hell, I'd have taken a few more nights with him myself.”
Brielle found it amusing, but the thought of the watch Andrew had snapped up
made her smile fade slightly. She knew how much Aubree was hurting. After
pining for Andrew for so many years, her heart must have bruised.
Aubree stood up, casually placing a gift box on the table. “Someone's just
finished delivering a gift to their sweetheart and must be feeling lonely. I've got to
go.” Her tone was indifferent as if it didn’t matter at all. “This is my apology gift to
you, I shouldn't have kept Andrew’s thing from you, and congrats on the
promotion, take
it.”
Brielle was about to refuse when she caught a look from Aubree.
“After all, if someone’s willing to give a multimillion—dollar watch, why would they
care about a little cash?” She spoke nonchalantly, but Brielle still detected a
deep, hidden self-loathing. Once Aubree had left, she opened the gift box. It was
a practical necklace, perfect for everyday wear. After a moment's thought, she
carefully placed the necklace in the drawer. Returning to her computer desk, she
saw new emails, mostly from her department. After dealing with a few, she
leaned back on the couch, feeling waves of darkness before her eyes.

Aubree’s words were hard to ignore, and she was aware she was losing control.
She had to do something to distract herself.
Her mind flashed to the boy she'd seen at the banquet who had mentioned the
Beaconsfield College forum. Brielle took a deep breath and belatedly clicked on
the Beaconsfield College forum. Most of the posts were
about her.

while she was sweating in the dojo, Lillian was smartly climbing into Spencer’s
bed.
She couldn't afford to dwell on these thoughts; they were too upsetting. At least
she had stopped obsessing over Max and was now planning how to deal with
Lillian.
To defeat someone, you have to destroy what they cherish most. Lillian cared
about money, status, and men. But Brielle cared for none of these. She only
wanted her career.
Especially after that auction, she yearned to stand at the pinnacle and look down.
She and Lillian were not on the same path.
