Chapter 406
Brielle took a deep breath. Her leg swung up in a swift arc aimed squarely at his groin.
Spencer was clouded by anger and failed to dodge; his face turned ashen with pain.
Brielle found him repugnant. Her disdain was so intense that merely sharing the same air
felt suffocating. “Spencer, whether I like someone or not is my business. We’re not even
strangers at this point. What gives you the right to pass judgment on my life?”
Spencer, wincing with pain, shot back a furlous glare. “Don’t play dumb with me. I know
that guy is Max. You’ve been rolling in the hay with him, and you really think he’s into
you? Alivia will be back in town soon, and you won’t even see what hit you. Brielle, once
he tires of you, he’ll kick you to the curb.”
Hearing the certainty in Spencer’s voice, Brielle knew he must have found some damning
evidence.
Spencer sneered, “You only threw yourself at him to get back at me, didn’t you? Does he
know why? A woman who’d give herself away so easily just to spite her ex–fiancé is hardly
worthy of affection. Brielle, you should really know your place.”
Spencer wished he could hurl every insult at Brielle. The marks on her neck were so fresh.
They must have been from last night.

Just thinking about them tangled up all night made his stomach churn with nausea.
The elevator had reached the top floor. Tired of the exchange, Brielle was about to exit
when Spencer added, “Brielle, you’ll regret this.”
Brielle paused, fed up with Spencer’s nonsense. She stepped back towards him, closing
the distance between them.
“Regret what? Regret sleeping with such a catch? You’re right, Spencer. I do enjoy being
with him. What about it?”
A look of surprise crossed Spencer’s face, and for a moment, he was at a loss for words. In
his mind, even if Brielle were the lowest of the low, she wouldn’t stoop to such vulgar
speech. Yet not only had she spoken those words, but she did so with a chilling
detachment.
His Adam’s apple bobbed involuntarily, finding her sudden change from icy to desirous
strangely alluring. The stark contrast excited him in a shameful way. He couldn’t help but
wonder what Brielle was like in bed. Was her voice as enticing as her defiance?
His eyes betrayed too much, and Brielle frowned in disgust. “Keep your filthy thoughts to
yourself. I told you before, I’d rather hire an escort than be with you.”
Her words were a brutal stomp on Spencer’s ego. The physical pain had subsided, and
now Spencer straightened up, his laugh cold. “You’ll come crawling back to me in tears
one day.

Just wait.”
Brielle shuddered with revulsion, eager to leave the elevator. Spencer followed, his face a
pallid mask of fury.
As Brielle approached the conference room, she saw Ryan.
Having fought hard to return to Dorsey International, Ryan was now the picture of success,
greeting the executives one by one. Seeing Brielle, his smile widened. “Brielle, perfect
timing. I have you to thank for this turn of events.”
Ryan, the old fox, was deftly shifting the attention. It was as if he was saying to everyone,
“Curious how I came back? It was all Brielle’s doing. She was the mastermind behind my
return.”
Brielle kept a composed face, though inwardly, she rolled her eyes at his ingratitude. “Mr.

She chose not to elaborate. In times like these, the less said, the better. After knew she
had recently suffered from cyberbullying. She wouldn’t have had the time to meddle in
Ryan’s affairs. Ryan was simply seeking a scapegoat, and they were not fools.
As the atmosphere grew tense, William arrived. Despite a significant fall from grace,
William maintained his trademark smile, though his eyes lingered on Brielle for a moment.
Brielle pretended not to notice and followed the other executives into the conference
room.
Ryan and William remained behind. William’s expression darkened, while Ryan’s smile
persisted. “William, I look forward to learning from you again.”
A portion of William’s business had been allocated to Ryan, who had also intended to push
the troublesome Kingston Enterprises contract onto Ryan. The young heir of Kingston
Enterprises had plenty of skeletons in his closet, which, if exposed, would affect the
business deal. But Ryan, having grown wiser during his absence, flatly refused. Thus,
William was stuck with a project he knew was doomed.
Damn that Brielle. A chill passed through William’s eyes, but when he spotted Spencer, an
ideal
took root.
