Chapter 262
Lillian was manhandled into the police station, and by the time she was seated on the icy
metal. chair, every inch of her was shivering with cold, her teeth chattering uncontrollably.
Yet, inside. a flame of resentment threatened to engulf her whole being.
Upon hearing the cops call the Haywood family, she leapt from her chair, snatching the
mobile phone from an officer’s grasp. Surprise flickered across the officer’s face, clearly
taken aback by her audacity.
As soon as Lillian saw the number on the screen, she knew exactly who was on the line.
Scrambling to marshal her thoughts, she was desperate to convey everything she knew.
“Mom, the whole town’s buzzing about Spencer’s disappearance, right? Well, I know where
he is. Brielle’s got him, she’s kidnapped him. You gotta tell Faith, pronto!”
Miranda, on the other end of the line, couldn’t believe her ears. Brielle, kidnapping
Spencer? Why on earth would Brielle kidnap Spencer?
“Mom, it’s the truth, I swear. Last night, Spencer and Brielle checked into a hotel together,
stayed the whole night. He hasn’t come out since. How could he possibly be missing
unless Brielle’s hiding him somewhere? I even sent pictures to Max, and you know what?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMax blocked me. I think he’s blind as a bat, he must not realize his own nephew’s been
nabbed. You gotta- Her voice choked off as if something had suddenly blocked her throat.
That was right, she had sent so many photos to Max, and initially, he hadn’t blocked her,
which meant he received the pictures. With Spencer’s disappearance causing such a stir,
the Dorsey family had already filed a police report. Max must be in the loop. He knew this
was connected to Brielle, clearer than anyone else. Yet he remained silent, even went so
far as to block her.
Back at the hotel, the manager hadn’t misunderstood her; he knew the truth but feigned
ignorance, all of them covering for Brielle. All because between Spencer and Brielle, Max
chose Brielle.
Lillian felt a dull ache in her chest, a rage so intense she wanted to carve Brielle into
pieces.
How could Brielle be worthy of Max’s attention? Could it be that Max had fallen for Brielle?
The thought ignited a destructive fury within her.
What she couldn’t have, she would destroy. Never would she allow that wench Brielle to
get her hands on it.
“Also, Mom, tell Faith that Brielle is Max’s mistress, and they’re an item. Max is
deliberately overlooking the whole Spencer kidnapping situation.”
Miranda’s head was reeling, convinced Lillian had lost her mind. “Lillian, didn’t your dad
say we shouldn’t tell the Dorsey family just yet? Otherwise-”
“Mom!”
Chapter 262
Lillian roared with a mix of despair and anger. “Do you really think Brielle’s gonna help us?
If she secures Max’s heart, she’ll turn on us in a heartbeat. We can’t let her get any closer
to Max.”
Miranda felt utterly panicked, unable to decide. After all, it was Robert who always called
the shots in the family. “Lillian, calm down. I’ll get you out of there first, then we can talk,
okay?”
Lillian’s seething subsided a notch. Of course, she couldn’t stay cooped up in the station
forever. Even if she were charged with attempted murder, the Haywood family’s wealth
would bail her out. She sneered. Did Brielle think she could topple her that easily? Dream
on.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAn officer had already wrestled the phone from Lillian and cuffed her hands, cautioning
her against further outbursts.
Lillian sneered again. With the Haywood’s influence, she’d be out in no time. Just wait and
see.
Meanwhile, Brielle had finished dealing with the room card, somewhat surprised that the
hotel manager had shown no reaction to Lillian’s outburst.
Frowning, she turned to the always–courteous manager. “About what Lillian just said-”
She probed, only to see the manager give a reassuring smile. “Ms. Brielle, don’t worry
about that. Mr. Dorsey will take care of everything.”
The manager was implying that Max would keep Spencer well hidden, ensuring the
outside world remained oblivious to Brielle’s scheme, effectively protecting her.
However, as the principal involved, Brielle had no clue what Max was doing, so she
assumed Max would handle Spencer’s disappearance. After all, Spencer was his nephew,
and there was still that familial bond.
Her heart sank even further, convinced now more than ever that she could not let Max
find out. “I understand, thank you.”
