Chapter 534


    When Michael spoke with much finality the others know better than to arque. After all, he was the


    leader of the family and Mac’s father His word was low, and no one dared to defy hin So, they could


    only re at Brielle with even deeper resentment.


    The most agitated of them all was Spencer. He knew about Ster Stage Entertainment, was the


    company Ryan had taken over.


    Given its name, it was obviously an entertainmentpany filled with C–list celebrities and hopefuls,


    none of whom had made a real name for themselves. Ryan had taken it over simply because it was full


    of pretty faces, and Spencer knew he had bedded more than a few of them.


    Ryan treated Ster Stage Entertainment like his personal yground, picking and choosing who to


    take to his hotel room when bored, and never truly nurturing the business. The wholepany was


    crooked from top to bottom.


    The women who were still there either couldn’t leave because of binding contracts or had nowhere else


    to go. The male talent fared even worse. Thepany didn’t even see them. as artists, using them for


    any odd job that came up, like dancing for a room full of seniors in some small town or performing at a


    local mall. Those performers had long since lost their pride and spark. Sending Brielle there was like


    sending her into the lion’s den.


    With her finance background, Brielle didn’t know the first thing about the entertainment industry.


    Michael giving her the reins of Ster Stage Entertainment seemed like an opportunity, but in reality, it


    was a set–up for despair.


    A crookedpany, a spiritless roster, and someonepletely green to the entertainment scene


    what chance did she have, especially with the impossible goal of increasing thepany’s


    performance fiftyfold in six months?


    Spencer’s lips curled up in a cold smile.


    Another reason Grandpa had handed over thepany to Brielle was to stir up resentment among the


    Dorsey family’s branches. Most of the extended family members present had not clue about the actual


    state of Ster Stage Entertainment. Dorsey International had hundreds of national and international


    subsidiaries, and no one could’ve known the details of eachpany’s performance. So, to the


    extended family, it looked like Brielle had taken control of apany from the Dorsey fortune.


    She didn’t deserve it!


    What the extended family would do to Brielle was now a matter of her luck.


    Spencer’s heart was racing with the thought that he could be of assistance to her if only she would ask.


    His gaze turned fervent, and he felt a famil


    arousal, just from seeing her face, hearing her name, and listening to her voice she was like a demon


    he couldn’t exorcise. Brielle had be his obsession.

    Chapter 534


    Brielle stood from her chair, nodded politely to everyone in the room, and followed Max out. The res


    that followed her were like knives at her back.


    Once outside, she saw that Max was gone, and his car with him. Her quick agreement had


    hurt him. She knew it.


    She took out her phone to call him when suddenly, someone grabbed her from behind. “Brielle, if you


    ask me, I can help you. I know some people at Ster Stage Entertainment, and I can pull in some top


    stars from major entertainment firms in Beaconsfield,” Spencer’s voice whispered hotly in her ear.


    Brielle’s face turned dark, and she threw Spencer over her shoulder onto the ground.


    Spencery there, grimacing in pain, unable to get up.


    Brielle clenched her phone and stepped on his chest. Spencer coughed, almost spitting blood under


    her foot.


    Brielle stood over him, her gaze full of contempt and disgust. “Are you sick? Spencer, ever since that


    disgusting thing you did, I’ve felt nothing but revulsion towards you. Stay away


    from me.”


    A me seemed to light in Spencer’s eyes as he stared at her.


    Her animated face and disdainful tone thrilled him, and he felt an almost uncontroble urge. He had


    realized toote that he liked Brielle loved her, even. He had turned to Lillian because Brielle was too


    aloof, too damaging to his pride.


    During the years of their engagement, she was kind to him, but it was a distant kindness. Not matter


    how hard he tried, he couldn’t see himself reflected in her eyes. His attraction turned to resentment,


    convincing himself not to care, and that’s when he noticed Lillian’s allure.


    Spencer swallowed hard, reaching for her leg. “Brielle-”


    Brielle looked down and saw the bulge in his pants. She felt sick to her stomach, utterly disgusted. Was


    that all he ever thought about? She stomped on the offending area, causing Spencer to curl up, hisThis is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
