Chapter 419

Max thought of Brielle’s recent comment about being tired and responded with a simple,

“Yeah.” That one word cut through the air like a blade.

Max was an Impenetrable fortress around other women, impervious to their sweet

nothings and flattery.

Brielle, feeling the warmth in her palm, couldn’t help but laugh at his response. He was

like a log devoid of emotion. If she were Alivia, she’d probably be seething with rage.

Indeed, Alivia was on the brink of exploding, but she managed to apologize, nonetheless.

“I won’t call at this hour next time. Get some rest, goodnight.”

After hanging up, Allvia took a deep breath, resisting the urge to smash everything in

sight. She had to stay calml

Her mouth tasted of blood from biting her tongue in frustration. Finally, she decided to

give Spencer a call. Noah had mentioned Spencer was scheming to woo Brielle, which

could make him a useful pawn in her game.

Spencer answered quickly, as Alivia’s return from abroad was no secret. He was surprised

by her call, though. They knew each other, sure, but they weren’t close.

“Spencer, it’s me.” Alivia’s voice was soothing, quickly settling into a poised and proper

tone.

Despite his confusion, Spencer replied courteously, “Calling so late, is everything alright?”

“Well, there is a small matter. I heard you’re no longer the director at Dorsey International.

What happened?” Alivia was cunning, not mentioning Brielle directly but meandering

slowly to her point, masking her true intentions.

For Spencer, the subject was a sore spot, especially since Alivia was an attractive woman.

No man wanted to get embarrassed in front of a pretty lady.

“Dorsey International is a fair place. Some rise above others when they prove their worth.”

“I heard it was a woman who took your place. I met Noah abroad, and he mentioned her

not–so–stellar reputation.”

A cold smirk formed on Spencer’s lips. Alivia had barely set foot back home and was

already targeting Brielle. If she knew about Brielle’s tryst with Max, she’d probably spring

into action right away.

“Her reputation is indeed tarnished.”

“Spencer, I don’t mean to pry. I’ve just returned to the States and was dealing with the

signings with Book recently, so I’m naturally concerned about Dorsey International’s

affairs. We’re essentially family now, and I thought I’d ask. If the person who took your

place is truly problematic, I could have a word with Max on your behalf.”

In saying this, Alivia conveyed two things:

First, that she was close enough to Max to influence high–level decisions at Dorsey

International.

Second, she was unaware of the intimate connection between Max and the person who

replaced Spencer, portraying herself as innocent and even pitiable.

Spencer had been scoffing internally, knowing her words couldn’t hold a candle to Brielle’s

influence, but Alivia’s apparent concern for him softened his scorn. He even thought Alivia,

despite her status, was just a naïve little woman, a pitiable fool. Max had passed over

someone like her for Brielle, which seemed preposterous to Spencer.

He sighed, offering a word of advice, “The woman who took my place was once my

fiancée, Brielle, and her relationship with Uncle Max is… complicated. You might want to

investigate further. Besides, why not ask Uncle Max directly about his marriage plans?”

“Complicated? What do you mean? Max has always been above reproach. He wouldn’t fool

around. And he’s already made it clear he intends to marry me.”

“You haven’t seen how low Brielle can stoop!” Spencer was agitated, his emotions far

more transparent than Alivia’s subtle manipulations.

After speaking, he suddenly realized something – had Max promised to marry Alivia? Max

was a man of his word; if he’d made such a promise, it was as good as done. So, Brielle

was just a

mistress, after all.

A new scorn filled Spencer’s eyes. If that was the case, then pursuing Brielle himself

wasn’t such a bad idea after all. Strangely, he was reminded of Brielle’s crass words,

which danced upon his heart, preventing him from finding peace.

*If Uncle Max truly intends to marry you, then congratulations, Ms. Alivia. But let me

remind you, my former fiancée is quite the catch. You’d best keep a close eye on Uncle

Max, or your might find yourself dealing with a love child, and then you’ll really be out of

the running.”

“Impossible!”

The notion of a love child struck a nerve with Alivia, shattering her, composure as she

became frantic.
