Chapter 195


    Photos? It must’ve been the photos that got out.


    Brielle’s scalp tingled with irritation, desperate to know the extent of their cirction.


    Max lingered at the door, pinching the hotel keycard between his fingers, uncertain of Brielle’s stance


    towards Spencer. They were childhood sweethearts, always together, and though the engagement was


    broken off decisively, such intimate photos wouldn’t have leaked unless she gave Spencer a chance to


    be caught in the act. A chill spread through his heart. “If you need anything, just call the front desk.”


    Brielle was at a loss for words. After he left, she nced at her phone. Someone had sent her those


    photos, captured perfectly by the camera. Had she not been one of the subjects, she might have


    believed they were in a passionate embrace. She trembled with anger, and just then, Miranda’s call


    came through.


    “Brielle! Didn’t you break off your engagement with Spencer? And here you are, ying us all for fools,


    I must say you’re quite the actress.”


    Brielle hung up almost instantly, regretting her mishap with the answer button.


    Cameron’s message followed, equally confrontational. [You ended things with Spencer publicly. and


    privately you jump into his bed. I knew you had a wild side, but I didn’t think you’d be so keen on being


    the other woman. Brielle, have youpletely tossed aside all the etiquette and values taught by the


    Haywood family over the years?]


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    What upbringing did the Haywoods ever have?


    Brielle found itughable. She decided to block all the Haywoods‘ contacts. Out of sight, out of


    mind.


    What she didn’t expect was for Spencer to have the gall to reach out, asking to meet her. Seeing him


    now just irked her. Her brows furrowed, she tossed her phone aside, ignoring


    everyone.


    But Spencer was in no hurry. With the photos out, there were bound to be rumors, and the story of their


    broken engagement became even more tangled.


    Spencer set down his phone, catching Faith’s suspicious gaze with a slight smirk. Faith felt conflicted


    seeing such photos, especially after the recent video scandal involving her son and Lillian. “Spencer,


    who took this pictures?”


    Spencer had no intention of admitting it was a setup. “Who else but Brielle? She regrets. breaking off


    the engagement, always had feelings for me.”


    Faith was torn between relief and worry. Brielle was preferable to Lillian, but Faith didn’t like her


    temperament. “She has feelings for you? She released this photos on purpose?”


    It didn’t make sense, since Brielle had been soposed during the breakup.

    Impatience shed across Spencer’s face as he stood up, “Women are fickle, mom. She released that


    video of me and Lillian to get my attention. Please do not meddle in my affairs.


    Faith felt a pang of difort.


    After Spencer left the Dorseys‘, he received a call from his uncle William, a rare urrence throughout


    the years at the Dorsey family.


    “Spencer, what’s this fuss about you and Brielle?”


    Spencer frowned, why was everyone so concerned about him and Brielle? “She’s trying to get back


    together with me.


    William went quiet for a moment, his annoyance palpable, “Really? I’ve heard Brielle’s got another man


    on the side.”


    “Uncle William, those are just rumors.”


    William’s expression darkened, and before him knelt a haggard woman, bound and gagged, unable to


    speak. Her eyes were wide with terror, looking fearfully at the man before her.


    This woman was Sophia.


    Sophia trembled all over, devoid of her former defiance, wishing she could bury her face in the ground.


    Her body boresh marks and signs of abuse. William knew how to utterly destroy a


    woman.
