Chapter 248
The moment he set foot out the door, Lillian, decked out in her best spy gear, trailed behind him like a
shadow.
Meanwhile, Brielle hadn’t yet told Spencer where to meet, opting instead to call and gauge his level of
suspicion. Finding that Spencer wasn’t on guard against her, she pondered for a moment before setting
the rendezvous at the upscale Dorsey International Hotel for that evening. She had stayed there
before; the security was tight, and she knew it was safe.
Brielle rested until the afternoon and, before heading to the hotel, she made a quick stop at the
pharmacy to pick up some sleeping pills.
Having been engaged to Spencer for so many years, Brielle was well acquainted with his family. She
knew how his father, Ryan, yed the field, but when it came to his son, he was utterly devoted–after
all, Spencer was his only child. Otherwise, with his ways, he would have dismissed Faith a long time
ago.
After all, he was counting on his sole heir to secure arger share of the family fortune from the old
man. The importance of Spencer in the grand scheme of things was crystal clear.

With the sleeping pills in her purse, Brielle set out for the hotel.
What Brielle didn’t know was that Lillian had managed to contact Tessa and obtained Max’s phone
number from her.
Lillian had only intended to try her luck and was surprised when Tessa provided the number without
hesitation. A sly smile curled the corners of Lillian’s mouth as she sent an anonymous text to Max:
[Tonight, Brielle and Spencer will meet at the hotel under the Dorsey International banner.]
Max was still at the office workingte when he received the message. He didn’t respond but didn’t
block the number either, knowing the sender would probably continue to send more
information.
After having a bowl of soup at Brielle’s ce during the day, he hadn’t called a doctor to check on him,
but he could feel that something was off. Normally, working overtime wouldn’t faze him, but today, his
vision had started to blur since the afternoon.
Max shook his head, trying to clear it, and powered through thest of the paperwork. Patrick entered
his office and, noting his paleplexion, couldn’t help but ask, “Sir, are you feeling alright?”
Max, rubbing his temples, replied with a hoarse voice. “Not so good.”
Patrick was about to call a private doctor, but Max waved him off. “It’s nothing serious, no need for a
doctor.”
“But yourplexion…”
“I said it’s fine.

Seeing his president’s determination, Patrick didn’t prèss further and handed him a ss of water
instead.
Max took a sip of the water and pushed the signed documents forward.
Patrick took them and briefed him on the evening’s schedule, “Mr. Kenzo has arranged a meeting at
Tequ Sunset. It seems to be about smoothing things over with Mr. Clements.”
Those two had be too estranged due to the Rond family’s affairs, so Kenzo organized tonight’s
gathering in the hope that the two could reconcile their differences.
Max got up, tiredly rubbing his forehead. “Then let’s go.”
Upon arriving at Tequ Sunset, the valet skillfully took the keys from Patrick.
As Max stepped into the lobby, his phone buzzed again with a new message–a photo of Brielle and
Spencer.
Brielle and Spencer had managed to meet up, ate–night hotel rendezvous. Was Max not going to
catch them in the act? Lillian sent the message with a thrill of excitement. Surely Max couldn’t be so
forgiving as to tolerate Brielle’s infidelity?
She sneered. Brielle was truly blind to have a man as outstanding as Max and still seek thrills
elsewhere. If Max were hers, she’d keep him under lock and key, never sparing another man a second
nce.
Her gaze shifted to the two figures now meeting in the distance, her eyes shing with venomous spite.
Brielle Had brought her to ruin, and tonight, Lillian was determined to repay the favor, bit by bitter bit.
