Chapter 113


    When Faith received the call, she thought her son had lost his mind. She nced at her phone several


    times, double–checking that it was indeed Spencer on the line before she managed to calm herself


    down.


    She had also received those pictures and was pondering ways to take out Brielle.


    The Sunflower Orphanage sprang to her mind. She had signed a five–year contract, and three years


    had already passed. If she were to break the agreement prematurely, she would have topensate


    Brielle with a hefty sum of two hundred million dors.


    That was too costly for her, but the orphanage was managed by an aging director and was home to a


    bunch of naive kids. To call them vulnerable would be an understatement. She knew that with a little


    money, she could send some thugs to make life a living hell for everyone at the orphanage.


    Brielle dared to embarrass her son, and Faith was determined she would pay the price. But now,


    Spencer was insisting they get married as soon as possible, and Faith thought she was hallucinating.


    “Don’t even think about it. That slut has no ce in our family. Spencer, I’d rather you be with Lillian. At


    least she’s obedient and treats your word as gospel. But Brielle? Her scandals are all over the social


    circles. Do you have any idea how embarrassing it is for me? Everyone’s been asking me how I n to


    handle this mess at our tea parties.”


    The influence of the Barnes family in their circles was not to be underestimated, and now the scandal


    also involved Kenzo from the Barnes family.


    Faith had been with a group of high–societydies for afternoon tea when she received the photos, and


    the embarrassment had driven her to make an early exit. She had never been so eager to distance


    herself from the gue that was Brielle.


    Spencer snapped out of his fury under his mother’s scolding and quickly backtracked, “Mom, I was just


    blinded by anger. I couldn’t swallow my pride, so I thought maybe marrying her could be a form of


    revenge.”


    Faith scoffed, her eyes shing with cunning, “I’ve already figured out how to get back at her. Leave


    this to me. As for the engagement, I’ll talk to your father. If he drops his opposition, your engagement to


    Brielle will be off in no time.” If it hadn’t been for Ryan’s interventionst time, the engagement would


    have been called off already..


    While Spencer felt a wave of relief, there was an undercurrent of regret, as if he was about to lose


    something important. He tried to focus on Lillian, to recall the moments they had shared, and finally


    nodded in agreement, “Alright.”


    After returning to her apartment, Brielle learned about the photos from a message sent by Aubree.


    Aubree was as bold as ever.

    [Damn, Bri, is that Kenzo?! Do you know how hard he is to get a hold of? Tons of people in our circles


    are after him for his TV scripts. I heard he’s so obsessed with his work that he once secluded himself in


    the wilderness for a year. He doesn’t even attend social gatherings. And you got to dine with him?)


    Kenzo was indeed the type to sacrifice anything for his art – his time, his rtionships, even his life.


    Once, to craft a crime drama script, he even went undercover in a South African


    organization. Kenzo’s understanding of life transcended the ordinary; he sought fulfillment on a spiritual


    level.


    [First Max, now Kenzo, each one a better catch than Spencer, that unlucky charm. You need to kick


    Spencer to the curb; he’s been worn out by Lillian and can’t satisfy you anymore.]


    Brielle blushed at Aubree’s brazen words. She nced at the photos Aubree had sent – the angles


    were tricky, making it look like there was something between her and Kenzo.


    Remembering Spencer’sments about Kenzo and Tiffanie, Brielle quickly asked Aubree for


    the scoop.


    Aubree hadn’t heard about any entanglement between the two, and Tiffanie had always been the same


    since she came of age, never known to have confessed to anyone.


    But one thing was certain: Tiffanie knew how to party hard, scaring off the young heirs in their circles.


    There was a time when a family elder suggested a marriage alliance with Tiffanie, but the prospective


    groom had theatrically threatened to take his own life to break off the engagement, which eventually


    fizzled out.


    Confused by the whole affair, Brielle decided to focus on her work instead. Just as she was about to


    boot up herputer, she saw a message from Max. As usual, it was brief.


    [Documents.]


    For some reason, Brielle felt that his mood was off.
