Chapter 627


    In a corner unseen by Andrew, Tessa’s lips curled into a smug grin.


    The car pulled up in front of the Harmony Haven Hotel, and as Tessa got out and steadied herself on


    her feet, she noticed another vehicle parked nearby. The door swung open, and out stepped Brielle.


    That had to be Max’s car, judging by the vanity te with its string of identical numbers and the


    unmistakable silhouette of a Bentley.


    Tessa caught sight of her and was about to strut over and have a good go at her, but remembering


    Andrew was still around, she figured she had to y it cool for a bit longer. So, without a word, she


    simply unted the ne around her throat, arching an eyebrow at Brielle in a silent challenge.


    The provocation was clear.


    What Tessa hadn’t expected was for Brielle to stride forward, grab the ne, and yank it off with


    such force that Tessa felt like her neck might snap. Her face registered utter disbelief. “Brielle?! What


    the hell are you doing?”


    Before the words had fully left her mouth, Brielle’s hand was in the air and then came the sharp crack


    of a p.


    “Smack!”

    Tessa’s cheek instantly swelled, the force of the p nearly sending her to the ground, the taste of iron


    flooding her mouth.


    The ne now dangled from Brielle’s fingers, wrapped in a tissue. Her expression was dark as a


    storm cloud. “Tessa, did you ever think you were worthy of wearing this?” Brielle snapped.


    Tessa clutched her cheek, her heart pounding. Onlookers were gathering around them. The Harmony


    Haven Hotel wasn’t your average star–rated establishment. Much like the exclusive Tequ Sunset


    club, it was members–only and essible with a card, so journalists were strictly off–limits. The


    Rond and Clements families had chosen this ce for their dinner, as much a statement of status


    as anything else.


    Tessa had sent that message to Brielle just to rile her up, to knock her down a peg. She hadn’t


    anticipated Brielle to actually show up, corner her, and p her without a second thought.


    How dare she?


    That bitch, how dare she?!


    However, Tessa was too frail to retaliate. Her eyes were red with rage, but she could not utter a single


    word.


    Brielle tucked the ne into her purse and, watching Tessa’s weakened face, pulled her close for


    another p, this time not stopping until ten more hadnded. With full force, Tessa’s face was so


    swollen it was unrecognizable, blood trickling from her mouth.


    Chapter 627


    Andrew parked and approached the scene, his scalp tingling with anger at the sight.


    “Brielle!” He strode forward, grabbing her arm, his brow knotted with fury. “Brielle, have you lost your


    mind?!”


    But Brielle bitched free and, with a swift motion, pped him across the face as well. “Get lost!”


    Andrew’s head snapped to the side, and as he felt the sting on his cheek, he wondered if this was


    some sick dream. Once the shock passed, a vicious light crossed his eyes, and he raised his hand to


    grab Brielle’s throat.


    No one, except for the cheeky Aubree, had ever dared toy a hand on him like that. Was Brielle high


    tonight to have the audacity to do this to him?


    However, before his hand could reach her throat, another intercepted him. Max pulled Brielle into his


    arms, shielding her and blocking Andrew’s hand with his own, his gaze as calm as it wasmanding.


    Andrew’s eyes narrowed, the din of Tessa’s hysterical crying and the gasps of the onlookers only


    intensifying the moment.


    Everything pointed to a point of no return.


    With a coldugh, Andrew’s eyes gleamed with malice. “Max, step aside.” Tonight, he would end


    Brielle, that treacherous bitch.
