Chapter 219


    Noah had been harboring a crush on Alivia for years, and he agreed to this business trip mainly


    because it offered a chance to see her. But deep down, he knew that Alivia dreamed only of tying the


    knot with Max.


    “Brielle’s reputation is in the gutter. I can’t believe Mr. Dorsey would be blind enough to fall for her.”


    Noah mused to himself.


    Alivia breathed a sigh of relief at the thought that the rumors must be false, “Once you’ve settled things


    with my friend. I’lle back home with you.


    A flicker of joy passed through Noah’s eyes, “Great.”


    Alivia, however, couldn’t shake her unease. It seemed she had to fast–track her engagement with the


    Dorseys to ward off any unworthy suitors who might have their eye on Max.


    During her trip back home, she was determined to convince both families to move forward with the


    engagement.


    She yed with the bracelet around her wrist, a habit she picked up from Max. Mimicking his gestures


    somehow made her feel closer to him.


    Although she was aware of Noah’s affection for her, her heart belonged to Max, and Max alone.


    “Noah, I need a favor,” she said.


    Noah blushed at her request. Coming from a wealthy family, he had eyes only for Alivia and would do


    anything to help her. “Just name it.”


    “I want you to pursue Brielle. Someone sent me an anonymous message, and I can’t shake this feeling.


    You know how long I’ve waited for Max, and I can’t afford anyplications. If Brielle’s personal life is


    as messy as they say, maybe she’s eyeing Max? With your looks and family background, it should be


    easy for you to win her over, right? And after that, you can just dump her. It wouldn’t be a loss for you.”


    Noah didn’t ponder whether Alivia’s tactics were fair or foul. To him, it was an honor to be entrusted


    with such a task. “Don’t worry, I’ll have her wrapped around my finger within a week.” Alivia’s lips curled


    slightly. “I’ll handle things with my friend. You should head back home. Give me no more than two


    weeks, and I’ll have a definite answer for you.”


    “Alright, take care, Alivia.”


    Unbeknownst to Brielle, she had be Alivia’s target. After sorting out her move, Brielle returned a


    call to the police department..


    In less than two days, she had settled into her new ce, taking some time off work due to an overly


    passionate encounter with Max that still left her private part sore.


    In the afternoon, she finally decided to visit the hospital. As shey on the examination bed, the

    doctor’s expression grew stern. “Miss, do you need us to call the police for you?”


    Brielle blushed with embarrassment, making up an excuse, “It’s just my boyfriend. He can be a bit


    overzealous.”


    The doctor looked unconvinced and noticed Brielle’s difort, his brow furrowing slightly. “Here’s


    your prescription. Remember, it’s important to respect yourself.”


    Her cheeks reddened further as she left the office, overhearing a couple of doctors gossiping.


    “Last month’s case was even more outrageous. These young people today really don’t know their


    limits.”


    “Right? They should find a decent boyfriend instead of hooking up with some rich kid. They get the


    cash but lose their health.”


    Brielle’s head buzzed with irritation, mentally cursing Max as she rushed out of the hospital.


    “Oof!”


    Turning a corner, she bumped into someone, her nose throbbing from the impact as her medicine


    scattered on the floor.


    “I’m so sorry,” she murmured, bending to pick up the pills. But the man was quicker, his fingers. tensing


    as he recognized the medication and spotted the gynecology sign behind her. Handing them back, he


    muttered, “No harm done.”


    Brielle looked up to see a young man’s face, one that seemed vaguely familiar.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.
