Chapter 371

By the time Brielle was seated in the back of the police cruiser, her mind was a whirlwind

of confusion.

Upon arrival at the station, it was revealed to her that Sarah had drowned, and her time of

death was at nine, the previous night.

“Miss Brielle,” the officer inquired, tapping away at his keyboard, “where were you last

night at

nine?”

“At home,” she replied.

“Any witnesses to confirm that?”

“There’s a security camera at my front door. I didn’t leave the house all day.”

The officer continued, businesslike, “Who did the victim associate with regularly?

“I’m sorry. I didn’t really know her,” Brielle admitted.

He gave her a probing look before diligently noting her response.

Brielle furrowed her brow in thought before asking. “Was Sarah’s death a suicide, or was it

foul play?”

“We’ll have to wait for the autopsy results for that.”

Brielle’s eyes fell. If Sarah’s death were ruled a suicide, things would become incredibly

complicated for her. The video of her pressuring Sarah to sing was still out there, and the

public would surely blame her harassment as a direct cause of the tragedy. Moreover, with

no surveillance in the bar from that night and Sarah now gone, no one could corroborate

the truth.

She had managed to bluff her way out of Dorsey International earlier that day, mainly

because Simon was complicit in something shady–Brielle was certain he had been bribed.

Plus, the mysterious message “help me” sent to the group chat, seemed like a desperate

move by someone behind the scenes to escalate the situation. It was this very act that

suggested to the police and the public that Sarah’s death might not have been a mere

suicide.

Using this to her advantage, Brielle had confronted Simon, and he had faltered.

But who was pulling the strings from the shadows?

The thought alone was chilling, and a name surfaced in her mind unbidden–William.

William had always lurked in the background and was among the first in the Dorsey clan to

learn of her relationship with Max. Yet, he had remained inactive. His silence was

unnerving.

Brielle’s palms were clammy with anxiety–it was just a suspicion.

She had already ruled out Spencer and Ryan. Ryan was too impulsive, as evidenced by his

previous threat to poison Max, and his son Spencer was too rash to be behind such a plot.

Victoria, the Dorsey heiress, had her head in the clouds, far from any power struggle.

Only William remained–a Dorsey family member with deep roots in the company. If he had

been monitoring Brielle’s movements, he would’ve been well aware of her recent discord

with Sarah.

Leaving the police station, Brielle drove back to the company, only to find a crowd

gathered outside Dorsey Tower. In the midst of it all was Simon, sitting on the ground,

wailing with Sue

in a contest of tears.

Simon’s eyes locked onto Brielle’s car, and he stood up, pointing an accusing finger.

“Murderer!”

The crowd’s gaze snapped to her, and Brielle’s frown deepened. How did Simon know her

car

on sight?

It was too late to reverse; the mob was closing in, hurling insults and accusations at her

vehicle.

“Get out! You owe this family an explanation!”

“Don’t think your money can shield you from justice! How hard it is for an honest farming

family to raise a college student?!”

Those who had come for Dorsey International hadn’t seen the recent livestream. They all

thought Brielle was to blame. Someone even picked up a stone, intending to smash her

car

window.

“Coward! Witch! Come out!”

Crash!”

The stone shattered the car window in an instant.

Brielle stepped out, her gaze settling on the middle–aged man who had thrown the stone.

He shrank back under her stare but then stood his ground, defiant.

“What are you looking at? You killer!”

She couldn’t help but smirk at the absurdity. Her eyes drifted to Simon and Sue, who were

hiding behind the crowd with smug satisfaction on their faces as if they had won a great

victory.

But Brielle stood tall, her posture unyielding. Without hesitation, she dialed the police,

“Hello, this is Brielle, the one who just left the station. I’m outside Dorsey Tower, facing a

malicious attack. I also intend to press slander charges against Mr. Simon and others.

Their defamation against me is actionable. I need police assistance.”

When reason met brute force, words often failed.

So, it was time for Brielle to take a stand.

Simon, hearing her call, panicked.

“What the hell? Suing me? On what grounds? It was you who killed my daughter, you

monster! Everyone, see for yourself. This is the real face of the Director of Dorsey

International. My daughter has barely passed, and she’s already threatened us with legal

action. She’s heartless!”

The crowd’s eyes were like daggers, stripping Brielle of her defenses, but she remained

steadfast, ready to confront the storm.
