Master of his heart

Chapter 78
“Ms. Brielle, Mr. Dorsey would like a word with you.”
The staff member handed over the phone, and Brielle worked hard to keep her
composure, but the moment she heard his voice, her eyes began to sting with
the threat of tears. She pushed back that hint of vulnerability, striving not to let
her tone betray anything.
“Mr. Dorsey.” She called out, then bit her lip hard, the taste of iron filling her
mouth.
“A ten—billion—dollar corporate secret?” The man’s voice was cool, waiting for her
reply.
Brielle wiped the blood from her lip with the back of her hand, managing a smile,
“Yes, Mr. Dorsey, no need to worry. I will work with the police to recover the
thumb drive.”
The so-called business secrets out of thin air only needed Max's admission to
become a nailed—down case. However, if he refused to admit, Brielle could be
detained on charges of obstructing official duties.
Heaven and hell hung on his next words.
Max didn’t speak immediately. After a long pause, he asked softly, “Are you
hurt?”
Brielle felt a sharp jab in her heart, the burning sensation was unbearable. “Mr.
Dorsey, about that thumb drive-"
“Leave it to the cops. I'm sending Brent to pick you up.”
His implication was clear. The thumb drive issue was legitimate. The staff
members eavesdropping on the conversation no longer dared to delay, pressing
the man about the location of the drive.
The man was already panicking, his mind racing to the caller behind the scene. “I
really don’t know anything about a thumb drive, I was just paid to disfigure
Brielle, that's all.”
Compared to attempted grievous bodily harm, the other allegation was
significantly more severe. He sat rigid in his chair, his gaze fixed maliciously on
Brielle.
The police finally understood that the so-called lovers tiff was a ruse, and in their
fury, they whipped out handcuffs and secured the man in place. “Spill it! Who's
behind this?”
Meanwhile, Emily was anxiously awaiting news. Pacing back and forth nervously,
she was like a cat on a hot tin roof.
The thought of Brielle’s face being ruined sent a thrill of excitement through her.
That bitch was so bold as to flirt with Max. This was her just deserts.
Her phone rang, excitement flashing in her eyes as she quickly answered. “How
did it go?! Did everything work out?”
But the anxious, tearful voice on the other end took her by surprise. “Emily, did
you set me up on purpose? The police just called me. They said this is suspected
to be a theft of Dorsey International's corporate secrets. This was your trap,
wasn't it?”
Emily was taken aback, her voice filled with panic, “What's going on? Weren't
you supposed to have someone scratch Brielle’s face? What corporate secret?”

Emily clenched her phone, at a loss for words. She and Sophia were good
friends, and Sophia was a Rowland, although her status was just as awkward as
hers. The darling of the Rowland family was their frail legitimate, daughter, doted
on by everyone, especially with Andrew in her corner, showering her with
attention.
