Chapter 540


    Her voice was nonchnt as she stepped on the gas, and the car zoomed away. Spencer didn’t chase


    after her, his tears falling harder as he bit down on his teeth, refusing to let his sobs be heard.


    ncing at the clothes she had discarded, he walked over with shaky legs, picked them up. and


    hugged them to his chest as he continued to cry.


    Brielle caught a glimpse of Spencer’s silhouette in the rearview mirror and involuntarily hit the brakes.


    A minuteter, she looked up, letting the chilly breeze from outside whip across her face, stinging her


    cheeks, before she pressed down on the elerator again.


    Of all the Dorseys, Spencer was probably the luckiest. He had Faith’s undying adoration, and after


    coming of age, Brielle, the ever–dutiful fool, shielded him from harm. He never knew real cruelty, never


    knew despair, and that was why he couldn’t handle even the slightest pain, which shaped his petnt


    nature.


    He could betray others, but heaven forbid they betray him. He could toy with people’s feelings, but no


    one was allowed to y with his. He was still like a spoiled child, thinking anyone who wasn’t on his


    side deserved to be destroyed.


    However, Max and Tiffanie, also of the Dorsey n, were different.


    Max was thrust in front of everyone at the tender age of ten by the ruthless Michael, and only he knew


    the hardships he faced.


    Tiffanie’s very existence was a sin. Her mother, Victoria, detested her to the bone, while to Everett, she


    was the reason for his downfall.


    Out of all the Dorseys, Spencer had it the easiest. But as Brielle said, he certainly didn’t live up to being


    a man.


    On her way back, Brielle’s phone went off like mad, and a blinding light in the distance seemed to tear


    through the surrounding darkness.


    She squinted, pulling over to the side of the road, as the other vehicle did the same. It was


    Max’s car.


    Max had tracked her down in a hurry, only to find her driving alone back to the city. “Brielle?”


    Max frowned, hastening his step towards her. “Are you alright?”


    He leaned in slightly, his hands resting on her shoulders, examining her.


    Brielle looked up and smiled at him. She wasn’t too affected by the substances she’d inhaled, but the


    cold air did sober her up a bit. She noticed several cars following Max’s, and the passenger in the first


    car stepped out–it was the man she had seen in prison.


    He stood at a distancé, nodding respectfully before turning his gaze away.


    “I’m fine.”


    15:15


    “Who was it?”


    A sh of murderous intent crossed Max’s eyes, his grip on her shoulders tightening. Brielle. knew he


    was worried, but thinking of Spencer still at the scene, weeping inconsbly, she lost any desire for


    revenge. Those few words had likely shattered his remaining pride and self–esteem. Nothing could hurt


    Spencer more than that.


    it’s no one. Let’s go back. I’m really hungry.”


    Max rxed, stroking her head gently. “I’m- The words “I’m sorry” hung unspoken.


    Brielle didn’t want to drive her car anymore; she was too drained, hungry and cold.


    Eventually, she saw an unfamiliar man drive her car away, while she settledfortably into Max’s,


    using his leg as a pillow. As the car headed towards the city, she drowsily heard him ask. “Have you


    decided what you’re going to do with Ster Stage Entertainment?” He sounded genuinely concerned


    about her potential failure.


    Brielle found it amusing. “Did Michael call you to say something?”


    Max averted his gaze, his demeanor turning cold once more as if bracing for another argument. “Yeah,


    he forbade me from helping you.”


    Well, that made sense. If Max’s capabilities were put to use, achieving fifty times the results would be a


    piece of cake for him. Michael naturally wouldn’t allow Max to interfere or step foot in Ster Stage


    Entertainment.


    “I have a n. I’ve researched their situation, and it’s quite thorny. I’ll go to the office the day. after


    tomorrow to get a firsthand look at the talent.”

    Half a year was a tight deadline, and navigating the intricacies of personal rtionships.


    wasn’t her strong suit.


    But with these six months, she could dream about what herpany might be. With a recent


    funding round bringing in fifty billion, given another six months, her worth might close in on a


    hundred billion. By then, as the new power yer in Beaconsfield, perhaps she’d be worthy to stand by


    his side.


    She needed to grow, and fast.


    Meanwhile, back at the Dorsey estate, Michael had begun practicing his calligraphy in his study.


    The butler, after some thought, couldn’t help but ask.


    “If Ms. Brielle really does solve Ster Stage Entertainment’s problems, are you sure you want her to


    join the Dorsey family?”


    A harsh streak crossed Michael’s brow. “If she’s truly capable, then Ster Stage Entertainment will


    triple in size. I’ll gift thepany to Alivia aspensation for her troubles.”


    The old fox knew how to y the game–using Brielle’s hard–earned sess to appease
