Chapter 186

Lillian was absolutely livid. How could the Haywood family even consider finding another

suitor for that bitch Brielle.

Even if the Haywoods had fallen on hard times, they still had serious cash to their name.

Was it really necessary to pair Brielle up with some up–and–coming young hotshot?

As her face contorted with rage, Lillian overheard the next words from Miranda,

“Mr. Connor, from Apex Dynamics, is in his fifties. Divorced a few years back. His wife

couldn’t bear his constant infidelities and ended up taking her own life from depression.

He hasn’t remarried since then, though he’s had his fair share of flings with young things.

Not exactly the classiest of acts. Brielle and him? They’re a match made in heaven.”

A wicked thrill darted through Lillian’s eyes. A twice–married man in his fifties with a

penchant for playing the field?

Miranda hit the nail on the head. This man was the perfect match for Brielle.

She could hardly wait for Brielle to tie the knot with him, her voice laced with glee. “Is Mr.

Connor on board with this?”

Mira Sheered, “Mr. Connor is all about the looks, and Brielle’s got the kind of face he goes

for. He’ll definitely bite. With this, the Haywood clan can skim off some benefits.”

It was as if they were auctioning off Brielle to secure a lucrative deal for the Haywood

estate.

Lillian felt a weight lift from her shoulders, her lips curving into a smile, “Mom, you’re too

kind to Brielle. The wife of the CEO of Apex Dynamics is far better than being some

chauffeur’s wife. Brielle ought to be thanking you.”

Miranda shared the sentiment. After all, they had raised Brielle for years; they couldn’t let

her just walk away without getting something in return.

Meanwhile, in the adjacent parlor, Robert was sitting across from Mr. Connor.

Apex Dynamics was a major client for the Haywoods.

Mr. Connor, barely five foot seven, sported a belly that hid his shoelaces from view.

Dressed in a bespoke suit, his shirt tucked neatly in, an Hermes belt around his waist

stood out conspicuously.

“Mr. Haywood, I’ve had other companies courting me for a partnership, offering better

rates. than the Haywood estate. And with all the recent scandals

including Ms. Lillian’s tarnished. reputation, your stock prices have taken a nosedive. It’s

hardly the opportune time for me to make an offer.”

The trouble with public companies was that a little bit of bad press could ripple through

the stock market.

A major scandal could even cause a stock market crash.

Connor might have been nouveau riche, but he knew how to talk the talk. After so much

back and forth, he still hadn’t budged.

Losing Apex Dynamics to a competitor would be a massive blow to the Haywoods.

Robert had no choice but to play his trump card.

“I hear you’ve been on the lookout for a suitable marriage partner, Mr. Connor. What do

you think about Brielle?”

A gleam of excitement sparked in Connor’s eyes, Brielle’s stunning visage flashing through

his mind, his chubby cheeks flushing with excitement.

He had seen Brielle once before, and her beauty had left an indelible impression.

She might be a bit too demure for his taste, but that was no issue. Once she was in his

grasp. he’d mold her into the perfect plaything.

Still marriage was business, and business meant negotiation.

He immediately pinpointed Brielle’s flaws to drive the price down.

“Brielle, yes, I’ve seen the girl a few times–quite the looker. But word on the street is that

her personal life is a bit messy.”

Everyone knew Connor craved excitement and couldn’t care less about a woman’s past

indiscretions, as long as she was disease–free. He was not one to turn down company.

His wealth enabled him to lavish gifts worth millions, and those women who had been with

him turned up their noses at his looks while simultaneously clinging to the luxurious

lifestyle he provided.

Over the years, he had discarded countless playthings.

Robert’s smile widened, “Brielle is very obedient and quite competent. She might even

become a formidable ally for you, Mr. Connor.”
