All eyes turned to Max.

Max had been keeping a low profile all evening as if he were uninterested in participating

in the proceedings. It wasn’t until this moment that he seemed to come to life, his

fingertips. grazing the rosary beads he wore.

Everyone thought he would remove the rosary without hesitation. Even Michael had

started to speak up, “Patrick, please escort the lady out. This is no place for outsiders to

cause a scene.”

Brielle stood tall, her back straight. Even upon hearing Michael’s words, she just stared

steadily at Max.

“Max, think carefully. If you really…”

Before she could finish, Max interrupted her, “Dad, the night I went to the Dorsey family’s

ancestral home, I had intended to introduce her to you. It’s not too late now.”

This out–of–the–blue statement drew all eyes to him.

His fingers still lingered on the rosary, gently caressing it, and then he leaned forward

slightly, interlocking his fingers with Brielle’s.

Their fingers intertwined.

“This is my girlfriend, Brielle.” The statement landed heavily in the room as if it could

eardrums.

Alivia felt like she had been struck by lightning, and the thunder still hovered overhead.

Girlfriend. Brielle.

Each word was clear, but how could she not understand their meaning?

All her smugness vanished. Her soul seemed to momentarily leave her body, repeatedly

battered and kneaded. His words hit her heart, causing her bones to ache.

She was so rigid, she didn’t even know how to react. She could taste blood in her mouth.

Now that Max had acknowledged his relationship with Brielle, every word Alivia had spat

out had turned into a slap, leaving her battered and bruised.

The last trace of color drained from Alivia’s face, still in shock.

She couldn’t even tell whether Max had never lost his memory or had just remembered

everything upon seeing Brielle. Her heartbeat was thunderous, and she felt like she

catch her breath.

Embarrassment, anger she had never been so humiliated in all her life. All this had been

given to her by the man she loved most.

She tried to calm herself, but her trembling fingers betrayed the turmoil within.

Brielle, that bitch!

She wished she could crawl into a hole and disappear. Such humiliation was agonizing.

The others in the room also thought they were hallucinating. How could they see Maz

holding Brielle’s hand and hear him call her his girlfriend?

It was absurd. As absurd as a farce.

Even Michael was briefly stunned, his mind racing. The night he went to the Dorsey

family’s old mansion? Wasn’t that the night Max had his accident?

Michael still didn’t understand why Max had suddenly gone there that night, as he usually

wouldn’t return without a specific call from him. It turned out it was because of Brielle.

Michael’s presence was commanding, and he wasn’t flustered by Max’s announcement.

“Max, there are some things that can be done in private; there’s no need to bring them

out into the open. Just like what your brothers do on the outside, I’ve always turned a blind

eye,” he implied.

In other words, it was fine to keep a lover in the shadows, but don’t flaunt it in front of

him, or he wouldn’t be polite.

Max pushed the cup of tea towards Brielle. She really did need a cup of tea to calm her

nerves. In fact, she had been prepared for the worst. It wouldn’t have been surprising if

these people toyed with her, and she even lost her life. But no matter how tragic the

outcome, it didn’t matter. She would have been sad if Max had truly forgotten everything,

leaving only her to remember in the days to come. How unfair.

Thankfully.

She picked up the tea, sweetness mixed with a tinge of sorrow in her heart. Max had never

let her down. He was always the best.

“Dad, you should be happy. The Dorsey family will indeed have double happiness tonight.

Spencer’s marriage is settled, and mine is not far off. Next Monday is a good day. Let’s set

it then.”

Was all this fuss about picking an engagement date for him and Brielle?

Michael almost laughed in exasperation but knew this was his son’s way, direct enough to

make one’s blood boil. “What about Alivia?”

Michael mentioned Alivia, and all eyes turned to her.

Alivia hung her head, even with her deep schemes and pride, as if even her arrogant spirit

had bent.

But this was not her most embarrassing moment. What was more humiliating was yet to

come.
