Chapter 301

Ryan snorted dismissively, decisively abandoning any lingering suspicions he had about

Brielle. “In the days since you vanished, the Haywood clan became toast. Max made his

move against them. At the last Hatfield charity ball, Lillian had the audacity to slip

something into Max’s drink. I can’t fathom where she got the guts.”

Max taking action against the Haywood family was publicly justified by Lillian’s bold move

against him. Everyone knew the consequences of riling up Max, especially by employing

such sordid tactics.

As Ryan relayed the events, Spencer’s pupils dilated sharply, sensing he was missing a

critical piece of the puzzle.

The charity ball hosted by the Hatfield family, Lillian’s tryst with Connor, and that morning.

Spencer had witnessed Max with Brielle in the elevator. Brielle, who had no business being

there, was inexplicably present. Even if they had a professional relationship, upon

reflection, it seemed peculiar.

“Spencer, glad you’re okay. I’ll keep digging into this. You need to watch your back and not

give anyone another opportunity to hurt you.”

But Spencer wasn’t really listening. His mind short–circuiting, unable to keep up. A

ridiculous thought surfaced, which he desperately tried to dismiss.

Impossible. How could it be?

Meanwhile, Brielle and her entourage had driven a few hundred meters away from the

villa. A distant explosion sent them all turning to look back.

The villa’s location was shrouded in dust and debris; someone had blown it up. Brielle’s

eyes narrowed sharply, her lips clenched tightly. The attack wasn’t targeted at Ryan but at

them. Had they left just seconds later, they would have been reduced to rubble alongside

the villa. Thankfully, Ryan’s intervention had bought them precious time.

Brielle was shaken and couldn’t help but glance at Patrick. Patrick’s usually composed face

showed a fleeting trace of surprise before settling into a frown. “Ms. Brielle, I’ll look into

this. Please secure a safe place for Mark. I’ll have a new benefactor take over the

orphanage. The deeper your ties with those kids, the more they become your Achilles

heel. You might save one. but you can’t save them all. It’s best to cut these ties.”

Patrick’s gaze lingered on the rising smoke. His thoughts drifted to Max’s current

condition. and he felt a headache coming on. “Ms. Brielle, don’t say I didn’t warn you. The

moment your decided to get involved with Mr. Dorsey, you stepped into the Beaconsfield

ring. Your relationship will come out sooner or later, and it’ll be fraught with danger. You

might not even be able to protect yourself.”

Brielle lowered her lashes, acknowledging the harsh truth in his words. Julian should have

been living out his twilight years in a hospice, but because of her, he died with his eyes

wide open.

To this day, she hadn’t even seen his body.

Brielle was unable to reach anyone from the Haywood family, and as an outsider with no

legal rights, she couldn’t even arrange Julian’s affairs. It was all her fault.

Brielle closed her eyes in anguish, gathered her composure, and reopened them with an

icy resolve. “I understand. Thank you, Patrick.”

Patrick nodded but chose not to burden her with Max’s current plight.

The car stopped in a secluded area, and without a moment’s hesitation, Brielle hurriedly

arranged all necessary documents for Mark. When Mark awoke, he was already en route to

and a card with a password on its back.
