Master of his heart

Chapter 487

The moment Brielle declared Max as her boyfriend in front of the gathered crowd, it felt like a knife twisted in Spencer’s heart, draining all color from his face.

She had to be out of her mind, stirring up such drama. Didn’t she realize the consequences of her words? Spencer doubted she could even leave this room tonight.

Yet, after her bold claim, Brielle strode up to Max, her gaze unwavering as she approached him. She lifted her wrist, revealing a rosary bracelet that gleamed against her skin for all to see. Even Michael’s eyelids twitched at the sight.

But Brielle didn’t look at anyone else as she extended her wrist towards Max. “You put this on me yourself. If you’re truly set on getting engaged to her, then you take it off,” she said.

If he did just that, she wouldn’t say another word. She’d walk out of here, spine straight, step by step, as if she’d never come tonight.

Why should she feel ashamed? She had less to lose than anyone here – less heritage, fewer connections. If she didn’t even have the courage to speak up now, she’d already lost in every possible way.

Alivia’s eyes flashed coldly at the sight of the rosary. She had suspected that Max had given it to Brielle, but seeing it now still jarred her to the bone. Her heart sneered, but her face feigned surprise. “My rosary went missing recently. It seems Ms. Brielle found it. But why ask Max about it now?”
