Chapter 525

Brielle could feel the buzz of Beaconsfield’s social circles reverberating through the air, as

Max’s words and the rampant online chatter painted a clear picture of the town’s current

preoccupation. Michael was probably on tenterhooks by now.

With a nod and a pat on the seat beside him, Max signaled for Brielle to sit down. “So, you

want me to head over to the Dorseys?” she asked.

“Yeah.”

“Alright, I’ll go. Is there anything I need to prepare?” Her agreement was swift and fearless,

a portrait of courage.

Max chuckled, “No prep needed; just leave it all to me.”

Michael, a titan in the business world, had been quiet since that tumultuous night at the

hotel. Now, with him calling, it was anyone’s guess what he had up his sleeve.

Brielle, the junior in the game, had once kept up with Michael’s business ventures. His

ruthlessness and cold–blooded strategies were on par with Max’s, but even she had to

admit that Max’s vision and reach were broader and higher. That was why he had the

audacity to make a name for himself on Wall Street at such a young age.

Brielle was done hiding in his shadow, done letting him shield her from the storm and, at

the same time, smother her from the sunlight. She had to face the music herself.

The Dorsey International website was in a frenzy, bombarded with inquiries like never

before. All because of the CEO’s personal affairs, it had seen millions of hits in a single day.

Everyone wanted to know who the shameless mistress was.

Meanwhile, Tessa was still in the hospital, taking perverse pleasure in the unfolding news.

The humiliation from the previous night was so intense that the mere mention of Brielle

caused her physical pain.

She was blissfully unaware of the karma swiftly making its way back to her. The larger the

stir she caused now, the more exposed she would be later on.

Just the thought of Brielle soon facing a public siege sent shivers of excitement through

Tessa. She dialed Alivia, who always had a game plan, possibly knowing exactly how to

double down on Brielle’s misery.

Alivia picked up quickly, her voice dripping with feigned concern. “God, I never thought

Brielle had it in her. How are you holding up?”

“Much better, Alivia. You’ve seen the news, right? Should I ieak Brielle’s name now? Let

everyone go after her?”

A sly grin crossed Alivia’s face. She would let the two of them duke it out while she reaped

the

benefits.

“Yes, and you should target not just Brielle, but also Aubree. Hit them both. That’s how you

really twist the knife. With your status, taking down an unwanted Clements foster child

should be a breeze, right?”

Tessa straightened up, her pride swelling. “Of course. The Clements are all hoping I tie the

knot with Andrew soon. And I’ve subtly hinted at Aubree’s little seduction game with her

brother. They’re already guarding against her, not even letting her through their doors. You

know how much Andrew’s mother adores me. Aubree’s just an outcast now. She probably

doesn’t even know where she’ll spend the holidays, just like her friend Brielle–both of them

are orphaned strays!”

Tessa felt she had to make up for the previous night’s disgrace by stomping on Brielle at

any opportunity. It was like treading water. Push it down, and you rise. In any social

hierarchy, those lacking confidence often asserted their status by oppressing those they

deemed inferior. Unwilling to admit her insecurities, Tessa was determined to crush Brielle

underfoot, to erase the shame of last night’s debacle.

“Then go on, attack Brielle while you’re at it, and take Aubree down too. It should be easy

for you.”

A triumphant gleam flickered in Tessa’s eyes, her chest boiling with anticipation. “Will do.”

The door to her room swung open as soon as the call ended. It was Andrew, bringing her

lunch. in a familiar lunch box–wasn’t that the one Aubree bought for Andrew? Her lips curled

into a smile, and she couldn’t resist teasing, “You bought this lunch box yourself?”

“No, Aubree got it. She made this, too. I liked the look of it, so I brought it over for you to

enjoy.” Such a brazen act was classic Andrew.

Tessa, barely able to contain her glee, urged him, “Open it. Let me see.

Andrew sat down and lifted the lid. Aubree’s cooking skills were admittedly impressive.

After snapping a few photos, Tessa ate her meal without further ado. “Aubree’s cooking is

way better than our family chef’s. Maybe she can cook for me every day while I’m

recovering. Someone’s got to take care of me, and I’m sick of the Rowland family’s chef’s

dishes.”

If she was going to trample Aubree, she might as well use Andrew to do it, to ensure that

Aubree couldn’t rise again. She would leave her and that wretch Brielle out in the cold

together. Andrew hesitated only for a moment before nodding. “I’ll ask her.”
