Chapter 471


    Aubree’s eyes flickered in disbelief as she gazed at Alivia. It was only now that she realized. beneath


    Alivia’s gentle facade lurked a darkness so vile it almost made her gag.


    Alivia saw no reason to hide her true self in front of Brielle’s friends. To her, their fear was an


    advantage. She let out a soft chuckle, delicately straightening Aubree’s cor. “Poor Briette’s probably


    been tossed around like a rag doll by now. Even if she gets out, Max won’t give her a second nce.


    Why else would he ignore your calls? He finds it repulsive. Miss Aubree, I guess I’ll be heading up


    then.”


    Rooted to the spot, Aubree heard Alivia’s smug voice trailing off. “Even if you wanted to go see her. I


    doubt you could. Michael has used the Dorsey family’s influence to seal that ce tight. Not even a fly


    could get in. Such a pity.”


    That bitch!


    Aubree trembled with rage, yet felt a profound sense of powerlessness.


    She had grown up in this world and knew too well the sway Alivia held among the elite. If Alivial wanted


    to make Brielle’s life miserable, she could do it with a snap of her fingers.


    Adding the Dorsey family into the mix, and Max no longer caring about Brielle, who was there to save


    her friend?


    Desperate and furious, Aubree stormed out of Dorsey Tower, tears streaming down her face.


    Aubree rarely cried, not even when Andrew had tormented her to the brink of death. She was a rose


    with thorns, while Brielle was a verdant leaf touched by frost. Yet, both had been unlucky in love.


    Feeling helpless, Aubree stood on the sidewalk, wiping away her tears with a trembling hand. A sleek


    sports car pulled up in front of her, and the window rolled down to reveal Dustin’s face.


    Dustin still had that stunning look – eyes as charming as a spring breeze, a smile brimming with


    warmth. “Aren’t you Andrew’s little sister? What’s got you crying on the sidewalk, lost your way?”


    Ignoring his teasing. Aubree focused on the face that seemed like a savior, looking more. handsome


    than ever. Quickly wiping her eyes, she tapped on the door. “Mr. Lynch.”


    Dustin wasn’t one to leave ady crying on the street. He unlocked the car, and Aubree climbed in,


    sniffling. “I always knew you were one of the good ones, Mr. Lynch. Bri’s blind for not seeing it.”


    Dustin chuckled, pulling out a few tissues and handing them to her. “Dry those tears. Are you looking


    for your brother?”


    The car started moving. Dustin’s hands were steady on the wheel, his posture a mix ofposure and


    casual ease.

    “That jerk Max is ditching Bri.” She said it deliberately, aiming to gauge Dustin’s reaction. If he cared for


    Brielle, then he might just be the help sent from above.


    “Whoal”


    The car stopped abruptly, Dustin turned, his face a picture of shock – definitely not feigned. “Has Max


    gone blind? He’s really giving up on little Bri?”


    Aubree’s eyes welled up again. “Yeah, Alivia has even arranged for Bri to be tormented in jail. The


    Dorsey family is putting pressure on them so no one can visit. I’m so worried about Bri.”


    “Which jail?”


    “The one down on South Road.”


    Aubree answered quickly, watching as Dustin picked up his phone, dialing a number without hesitation.


    “Mr. King, it’s me, Dustin.”


    “Dustin? When you call, it’s rarely good news. What do you need this time?”


    “Actually, I just rushed back from abroad to toast to your promotion, Uncle. I’ve got some fine wine in


    the car; I’ll swing byter.”


    “Cut the crap, Dustin. What’s the real reason for your call?”


    “The South Road jail. I need to see a friend, but I heard the Dorsey family’s been leaning on it?”


    “That jail, huh? It’s been buzzingtely. Not just the Dorsey’s, but the Riddle family has made some


    moves too. Who’s this friend, Dustin? Your girlfriend?”


    “Come on, you’re the man in Beaconsfield. Surely, this isn’t beyond you?”


    Dustin’s face held a smile, but his eyes were serious. He wasn’t up to speed with


    Beaconsfield’s power ys but knew the Riddle family usually stayed out of such affairs. Why were


    they involved now?


    “Don’t tease me, kid. If you need to go, go now.”


    Dustin grinned, flooring the elerator, his hand firmly on the wheel.


    Thanks. And could you find out why the Riddle family’s getting involved?”


    “Just don’t forget my wine.”


    Dustin agreed readily, hanging up and tossing his phone onto the back seat.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
