Chapter 517

As the night sky lit up with a magnificent meteor shower, all eyes were drawn upward,

entranced by the celestial spectacle. No one noticed the drama unfolding by the poolside

except for Alivia and Jaired.

Alivia’s expression was icy as she watched the scene with a chilling indifference. Poor

Tessa couldn’t swim to save her life, and with Brielle’s reckless move, it was very likely

that Tessa could drown in the deep end.

A smirk curled on Alivia’s lips as Jaired’s voice whispered in her ear. “Aren’t you going to

save her?”

“No,” she replied coolly. “If Tessa has an accident because of Brielle, the Rowland family

won’t let it slide. Neither will Andrew.”

“I thought Tessa was your friend?”

“Friends? Aren’t they just tools to be used?”

Her tone was flippant, and Jaired chuckled softly beside her. “Alivia, you haven’t changed a

bit since the day I met you.”

In front of Jaired, Alivia never felt the need to hide who she was. He knew her true nature,

and it seemed the more flawed she was, the more he was drawn to her. Only in his

presence did she

ever feel at ease.

Meanwhile, Brielle choked on a gulp of water in the pool as she tried to surface. But Tessa,

in her panic, clung to her desperately as if determined to drag them both down to the

murky depths.

Brielle was a strong swimmer, but Tessa’s flailing and kicking was weighing her down, and

her breath was quickly knocked out of her. The water rushed in from all directions, and her

chest tightened with discomfort.

Tessa kicked off Brielle, gasping for air as her head broke the surface. “Just die already.

Brielle!”

Underfoot, Brielle struggled to see through the murky water. Tessa, wanting her dead more

quickly, delivered a vicious kick.

Seeing no other choice, Brielle grabbed Tessa’s ankle and pulled her down. Tessȧ hadn’t

expected Brielle to fight back. Her face went pale as she began to sink rapidly. Her

swimming skills were mediocre, and Brielle’s interference left her unable to muster any

strength.

Tessa’s lungs screamed for air, but she knew that if she gave in, she would truly die here.

She clutched at Brielle’s arm, refusing to let her swim upwards.

If death were imminent, they would die together.

Human strength in moments of desperation could be terrifying. Brielle felt Tessa’s grip like

dead weight. They plunged deeper, bubbles rushing upwards.

It was over. Brielle was going to die because of Tessa. She had imagined her death before,

but never like this. Never so undignified.

Suffocating, darkness, pain.

The light from above grew distant as if countless hands were dragging her deeper. A cold

sensation spread throughout her body as she closed her eyes.

“Splash!”

Someone had entered the water.

Brielle had struggled too long. Even a second more felt impossible. Tessa, frail and

unskilled, sank even lower.

Brielle felt light–headed and in pain as something pierced her skin. Noise surrounded her.

A warmth spread through her body, stinging her eyes.

Voices reached her ears.

“When is she going to wake up?”

“Max, be patient.”

“Did you check the surveillance? How did they end up in the water?”

“We checked. There’s no coverage of that area–it’s a pool, and the hotel is private. They

can’t install cameras everywhere.”

Max’s face darkened as he saw Brielle’s pale form on the hospital bed, a flicker of rage

passing in his eyes.

Jaired sat casually in a chair in the hospital room, toying with a cigarette he’d pulled from

nowhere. “Brielle’s fine now, isn’t she? She’s only sleeping because she was briefly

deprived of oxygen. It’s Tessa we should worry about. She’s still in critical condition, and

the Rowland family would tear Brielle apart if they could.”

If it weren’t for Max’s presence, Brielle would probably already be in pieces.

A smirk crossed Jaired’s face as he lounged in the chair, which seemed almost too small

for his tall frame. His military posture was impeccable, his buzz cut sharp and imposing.

He glanced down, his lips curving into a smile. “Imagine if Tessa doesn’t make it. What

then?” Max remained silent.
