Chapter 434
Brielle gazed at the familiar scenery outside Pearl Estate and turned to him. Her words
were caught in her throat as he bluntly said, “Get out.”
Her eyelashes fluttered as she opened the door and stepped out. The moment the car
door closed behind her, the vehicle was already speeding away. She watched the taillights
vanish into the distance and raised a hand to massage her temples.
To Max, it probably seemed like she could say no to Martha; Brielle was never one to take
things lying down. But there she was, about to swallow those pills when he caught her

Brielle was touched that Max had snatched the pills from her lips, but the more touched

ever found out about the child, she would force Brielle to terminate the pregnancy.

But he was angry at her attitude, at how easily she reached for those pills.
Max knew the risks; without precautions, a pregnancy could happen at any time. Since
leaving the clinic, his mind had been foggy. To him, a child wasn’t a big deal. If it were
Brielle’s, it would probably be adorable, just like her.
But he couldn’t bear to think that during all their intimate moments, Brielle might have
been taking those pills. She must’ve known they were harmful to her health, right?
Knowing the risks and still not asking him to take precautions, that was what infuriated
him about Brielle.
Max slammed on the gas. His brows furrowed in frustration, just as Michael called to ask.

He was talking about the Illegitimate child scandal Ryan had caused.
Max’s frown deepened. His mind was already in turmoil; he might as well go to the Dorsey
estate and assess the situation.

In the midst of the grave atmosphere, a woman knelt in the center of the room, clutching

So, with an icy tone, Michael declared, “You knew what you were getting into when your
