Master of his heart

Chapter 173

Brielle couldn’t fathom the kidnapper’s rationale. First, they had their sights set on Sophia, and now her? Aside from a complicated past, there was no connection between her and Sophia.

Until the cops showed up, Brielle’s heart was in her throat.

The officers were polite. After all, they had just seen her the night before. “Ms. Brielle, please come with us to the station to give a statement.”

She nodded, handing over her phone as evidence, knowing that her planned business trip would have to be put on hold. Safety came first.

Riding in the back of the squad car, she arrived at the precinct only to see Miranda and Cameron there to bail out Lillian.

Their faces were storm clouds, especially when they caught sight of Brielle. It looked like they wanted to tear her limb from limb.

Miranda’s lips quivered with rage as she stormed over. “Brielle! Isn’t it enough that you’ve framed Lillian and had her thrown in jail? You’re downright evil. Are you coming to the police station at a time like this to add insult to injury?”

Her finger was almost poking Brielle’s face, her cheeks flushed with anger.

“Ms. Miranda, you’re barking up the wrong tree. I couldn’t care less about Lillian’s case.” Brielle replied coolly, heading toward the entrance of the building.

Miranda snorted. “Couldn’t care less? If you hadn’t meddled years ago, how would the Haywood family ever have acknowledged you? It seems you’ve orchestrated this whole. charade, luring Lillian into a trap just to expose her on the day she was to be recognized by the family. You’re downright sinister.”
