A shadow of darkness flitted across her eyes. If that was the case, why couldn’t they get

Lillian out?

As Miranda mulled over this, her cell phone rang. It was Robert calling. Robert sounded

irritated, “Where are you? We’ve got the full picture on Lillian’s situation. The police are

adamant–as long as Brielle doesn’t crack, Lillian isn’t going anywhere.”

A chill ran through Miranda’s gaze; it seemed she had been too lenient with Brielle earlier,

and now she was still refusing to settle things privately.

Robert’s next words deflated her completely. “Stay away from Brielle for now. The

Haywood family’s clients have all been poached by rival firms, and they’re crucial to us.

None of them. are taking my calls. I suspect Max is behind this. If it’s really him, then the

Haywood family is in jeopardy. He’s taking it out for Brielle because of what Lillian did.

Don’t stir up more trouble. Miranda’s vision went dark, her heart pounding at the thought

of her recent actions. “Honey, are you sure? I heard Max left the country. Why would he

care about Brielle? Could there be some

mistake?”

Robert took a deep breath, not wanting to explain too much. All these women ever

thought. about were their petty squabbles. “Just steer clear of her. If Max really swiped the

Haywood family’s clients, he’s likely got more up his sleeve.”

Before he could finish, Cameron walked in, an aura of gloom about him. “Father, we’ve

lost. another bunch of clients. They’ve all signed with our competitors. A dozen partners

served us. termination notices all at once. I just got a call from the shareholders–they’re

calling an emergency meeting. Things are looking grim.”

Cameron slumped down, rubbing his hair in frustration. “I reached out to some close

partners. They were evasive, hinting we’d crossed someone. Even Mr. Connor from Apex

Dynamics won’t take my calls.”

Anxiety creased Cameron’s face. His phone rang, and he picked up urgently. The news

from the other end was so shocking, his phone clattered to the floor.

“What’s going on?” Robert exclaimed, startled.

Cameron turned, his eyes devoid of life. “Mr. Connor got in touch. It’s Max. He didn’t say

much. just that, then hung up. Dad, we’re done for.”

Miranda, still on the line, heard every word. The mere mention of Max sent their minds.

crashing, unable to think.

When this business prodigy made a move, others stood little chance, especially with ant

Miranda stood up, panic–stricken, her palms slick with sweat. Max was targeting the

family because of Brielle? But she had just spilled coffee on Brielle. What now?

Catherine, seeing Miranda’s distress after the call, hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong?”

Before Miranda could answer, Catherine’s own phone rang. It was her husband. With a

smile, she excused herself from the other ladies and answered.

Her husband’s voice was urgent, becoming serious and grave by the end of the call. “Max

has made a move against the Haywood family. Keep it under wraps for now, and avoid the

Haywoods. Max means business this time.”

Confusion crossed Catherine’s face. Why would Max target the Haywood family? Weren’t

Lillian and Spencer childhood sweethearts?

“What’s he got against the Haywood family?” Catherine asked, glancing at a frantic

Miranda; this had to be serious. After all, when Max made a move, what chance did the

others have? The Haywood family must be down on their luck.

“I just had dinner with Mr. Connor from Apex Dynamics. It took some coaxing, but he

admitted it’s because of Brielle. Max has taken a shine to her, and now she’s in his heart.

Lillian paid at driver to hit Brielle, sending her to the hospital with a broken leg. Max is

furious, defending his lady’s honor. That Brielle must be something else.”

Catherine felt a shiver down her spine, swallowing hard. Was it the Brielle she knew?

“Which Brielle, honey? Are you sure you’re not joking? Isn’t Brielle Spencer’s ex–fiancée?!”
