Chapter 429


    Spencer’s lip curled into a smirk. “I’ve got someone watching Brielle, and they found a used pregnancy


    test in the trash–double lines.”


    Alivia’s mind buzzed, her grip on her phone nearly slipping. Brielle was pregnant–the very thing Alivia


    had dreaded most was happening!


    “But Uncle Max is still in the dark, Ms. Alivia. I don’t want that kid to be born. I’m hoping you can help


    me out here.”


    Alivia had connections, the kind that could take care of messes perfectly. Spencer didn’t care whether


    he faced bacsh from Brielle or the rest of the Dorseyster. He just couldn’t stand the thought of


    Brielle having another man’s child! The very idea of that child’s existence was torture to him!


    Hearing this, Alivia felt augh bubbling up. Brielle was such a fool. She had the perfect opportunity to


    tell Max about the pregnancy. Knowing him, he would have shouted it from the rooftops, announcing


    their wedding to the world. But Brielle chose to hide it, an utterly foolish move! She was practically


    handing over the chance to drive a wedge between her and Max!


    After a brief moment of panic, Alivia’s eyes regained their coolposure, not forgetting to maintain


    her carefully curated persona. “Spencer, are you sure about this? After all, that’s


    Max’s first child. If he finds out…”


    “I’ll take full responsibility for the consequences. He’s not going to kill me.” Michael would never want to


    see such a thing happen anyway.


    That was exactly what Alivia needed to hear. Orchestrating such a scheme was simple for her, but she


    worried about being exposed, revealing her true face to Max himself. She had to hide her intentions


    well, to drive Brielle out of Beaconsfield.


    “Ms. Alivia, it sounds like you’ve got a n.”


    The corners of Alivia’s mouth turned up slightly. She now understood Brielle’s hesitations. It was


    because Brielle was of low status, and since Max’s feelings weren’t deep enough yet, Brielle couldn’t


    be sure he would ept the child. If other members of the Dorsey family found


    out, what would be of the child?


    The Dorseys wouldn’t tolerate any illegitimate offspring. Only someone with Alivia’s background would


    be fit to bear Max’s children.


    “I do have an idea, but I’m hesitant. Spencer, are we doing the right thing?”


    In Spencer’s eyes, Alivia was a paragon of virtue, a nk te when it came to love. Plotting


    something like this must’ve been difficult for her. “Ms. Alivia, you’ve waited for Uncle Max for years.


    Can you really stand by and watch him marry another woman? If you work with me, it’s a win–win. You


    get Uncle Max, I get rid of Brielle, and everyone’s happy.”


    A hint of sarcasm flickered in Alivia’s eyes. She couldn’t fathom what potion Brielle had given

    Spencer. Even with Brielle pregnant, he couldn’t let go. “If that’s the case, then alright. I do have a n


    in mind, but I’ll need your cooperation.”


    Spencer’s eyes were full of glee as he ended the call and rubbed his eyes. He had to do this. If me


    was due, it was Brielle’s for getting pregnant.


    After finishing her day’s work, Brielle received a text from Max, saying he wanted to take her


    somewhere. Her mind raced through all the ces couples might go–a funfair, a park, maybe even a


    countryside inn. But it wasn’t until she was in the car, pulling up at a top–tier sanatorium, that her heart


    started to race.


    Max leaned back in his seat, his long fingers resting on the steering wheel. “Brielle, I’ve thought about it


    and decided to bring you here to meet my mother. She doesn’t know about us yet, but I want you to


    understand me better.”


    It was a well–considered move by Max. Aside from Alivia, who had always been close with Martha,


    Max had never brought anyone else to meet his mother, not even Michael.


    Brielle’s nerves kicked in–she hadn’t expected Max to bring her to meet Martha so soon.


    Sensing her anxiety, Max reached for her hand, warming it in his own. “Thest time I spoke with Alivia,


    you overheard. My mother’s lucid moments are frequent now, but she could rpse at any time. I


    shouldn’t be introducing you to her so soon, but I can’t shake this feeling of unease. Maybe you’ll feel


    more secure if you meet more of my family.”


    Max’s words were heartfelt, making Brielle wish she could tell him right then that she was

    pregnant.
