Chapter 335
“That was a bit reckless,” she mused aloud.
After freshening up, she deliberately pulled her cor higher and opened the door, finding Wesley still
waiting outside.
“Ms. Brielle, why don’t you head down for some hot soup to chase away the chill? Mr. Dorsey
instructed me, before he left, not to let you step out of Premier Pce. Mr. Kenzo is still recuperating in
town, and if the Barnes n traces hisst known whereabouts to you, I reckon they might drag you
into this mess.”
A bitter taste spread in Brielle’s mouth; Kenzo had met with disaster because of her. She nced at
her frail form and wondered if she could withstand the wrath of the Barnes family should they decide to
come after her for this incident.
As she sipped her soup, her mind was racing. Twice now, she’d been targeted, yet the assant left no
clues. Who could it be? With her status, how could she have attracted such a vendetta?
She almost immediately concluded that it was her connection with Max that had brought this peril upon
her.
Beaconsfield seemed like a gaping maw, ready to swallow her whole, an insignificant yer in its grand
scheme. She didn’t want to sit around like a sitting duck, always waiting for Max to return. Besides,
Max had never made any promises about choosing her.
If she truly cared for Max, she was willing to sprint towards his world, to bridge the gap between them
at all costs, but the one thing she couldn’t do was muster the strength to make
a move if he didn’t care for her in return.
So long as he harbored some affection for her…
She needed a game n.
After finishing her soup, she called up Tiffanie. Tiffanie was out in the boondocks, a ce an unbridled
heiress like her had never experienced before.
Tiffanie’s eyes lit up when she saw Brielle’s call, and she hit the answer button with enthusiasm.
“Brielle, what’s up? Got another thrilling task for me?”
Brielle couldn’t help but smile at her friend’s excitement but quickly regainedposure. “Is Mason
gone?”
“Mason, huh.” Tiffanie nced at the man mingling with a group of kids nearby, her heart softening just
a touch. “Nope, we’re down in a rural part of Beaconsfield. Let me tell you, this ce is dirt–poor. Cars
can’t even get through. Mason wanted to hike it, but I just called in a chopper. And would you believe it,
he didn’t even thank me.”
Tiffanie sounded a bit aggrieved. “It’s not my fault I’m rich. Honestly, I get him here faster, and he
distances himself from me.”

After her little rant, she regained herposure. “So, what do you need Mason for?”
“I’m thinking of investing in hispany, In my own name.”

A sharp glint passed through Tiffanie’s eyes. “Got it. We’ll head back tonight. Want to meet up?” “Sure,
I’ll wait for you guys at Pearl Estate.”
Tiffanie nodded, hung up the call, and looked over at Mason, who was still chatting with the modestly
dressed children. Her extravagant appearance,plete with tattoos and bling, probably intimidated
the local kids, as none dared to approach her.
She walked over to Mason and tapped his shoulder. “Brielle says she wants to invest in you. Your
startup is just getting off the ground, right?”
Mason brushed off her hand. “Brielle?”
He stood up, his impression of Brielle bringing a sparkle to his eyes. “Investing in her personal capacity,
huh.”
Tiffanie’s mood soured at once. “I offered to invest before, and you t–out refused. Now Brielle wants
in, and you’re all starry–eyed.”
Mason patted one of the kids on the head and handed over the clothes, toys, and furniture he’d bought
to the vige chief. “You and her… you’re different.”
Tiffanie crossed her arms. “What’s the difference? We’re both women, with two nostrils and a
mouth.”
Mason gave her a look and strode back to his temporary quarters.
