Master of his heart (Max and Brielle)
Chapter 369

Chapter 369

Spencer's cheeks flushed with a mix of embarrassment and anger as he felt the weight of everyone's gazes upon him. The calm composure he had walked in with was now a distant.

memory.

"Me, a serial cheater? Why don't you take a good look at yourself?!" His voice was thick with rage, his chest heaving with every breath..

Brielle let out a soft chuckle.

"Spencer, it's all about evidence. There's a video of you and my so-called sister getting cozy floating around. And let's not forget all these lovely witnesses here who can testify that you've been hounding me even after we called off our engagement. If I'm so terrible, why are you so desperate to rewind time with me? Are you blind?"

Spencer was speechless, his fury nearly choking him. He wanted to lash out and question Brielle about her dealings with Max, but the room was too crowded.

He knew if he let slip even a hint of scandal, regardless of proof, Dorsey International would take a hit. And he'd become public enemy number one in Max's eyes.

Hanging onto his last shred of sanity, Spencer clenched his fists by his side, wishing he could throttle Brielle.

That witch.

Damn her!

Noticing his silence, Brielle's lips curled into a slight smile. "You've badmouthed me more times than I can count, Spencer. I used to think you were just immature. Now I see you're just petty and mean-spirited. So, let's cut to the chase and not keep the police waiting for their statement."

Brielle rarely aired her dirty laundry in public, but now she was using it to her advantage-not to condemn Spencer but to shift the focus.

Her lack of grief over Sarah's death wasn't due to cold-heartedness; she had no reason to feel. guilty. As Sarah's boss, Brielle had been lenient despite repeated provocations. She hadn't fired. Sarah or cut her pay. That was mercy enough.

Sarah had maliciously leaked that video, inviting cyberbullying from the oblivious masses. Brielle was the victim here.

Sarah's death, to her, was just the loss of an employee-and not even a pleasant one.

It wasn't callousness; it was simply the truth.

However, this persistent belief that the dead must be honored made her pragmatism seem selfish.

Chapter 369

"People are dead, Brielle, and you're just standing there unaffected. Is there anyone colder than you?" Spencer spat the words out like they left a bad taste in his mouth. Brielle frowned, her disdain for Spencer growing.

"She's gone, and the real question is who's responsible. I'm cooperating with the investigation-that's the most meaningful thing I can do right now. Move aside!"

She brushed past Spencer, not even sparing him a glance.

Spencer watched her go, his face a patchwork of anger and pallor.

At the door, Brielle turned to Simon. "This was the former head of our department. Go bother him if you want scene."

Her voice was indifferent as she addressed the crowd, then made her exit.

The police officer, following her lead, tried to calm the situation. "Currently, there's no evidence pointing to Miss Brielle. The autopsy report will be out soon, so please wait for further investigation." With that, the officer followed Brielle out of the department.

Simon and his group had come for Brielle. They were urged on by someone who had paid them to stir up as much trouble as possible, hoping to drag Dorsey International into the mess.

But Brielle's quick wit had foiled their plan. She remained composed and managed to walk away unscathed.

Feeling the pressure of the ten million he'd been paid for this job, Simon tugged desperately at Spencer's sleeve.

"Mr. Spencer, you've got to back us up. You've seen Brielle's attitude-it's atrocious. We expect Dorsey International to fire her and compensate for my daughter's loss."

A woman joined Simon, clutching at Spencer as if he were her last hope.

Spencer's face darkened instantly. Simon was clearly after money, but Spencer wasn't a fool to throw Dorsey International's funds at him.

With Brielle gone, who was he putting on this show for?

He shrugged off Simon's grasp and frowned at the security guard. "What are you waiting for? Take them to the lobby."

His change in demeanor didn't go unnoticed by the live-stream viewers.
