Master of his heart ( Brielle And Max )
Chapter 599

Chapter 599 

Sydney’s friends were all privy to her history with Adrian, and she knew that if they broke up and Adrian blabbed about her infidelity, her reputation would be in tatters. 

Lately, she had been sleeping in a separate bed from Adrian. After getting a taste of what a guy like Spencer could offer, she found herself disinterested in her current boyfriend. Spencer could provide what Adrian, with his rigid ways, never could. 

As Sydney’s mind raced, she considered how she might exploit Adrian. If he committed a crime and ended up behind bars, she could seamlessly initiate a breakup. That way, no one could blame her; Adrian would have brought it upon himself. 

With this thought, Sydney doused her eyes with artificial tears and rubbed them until they were red before she opened the door. 

Adrian, seeing her in such a state, was consumed with concern. “What’s wrong, babe? Is something going wrong at work?” 

Sydney cast her eyes down, her voice raspy. “Forget it, you can’t help me.”  Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“How can I help if you won’t tell me what’s going on? Sydney, we’re about to get married. I don’t want you to be unhappy.” 

Sydney scoffed inwardly. Marry this poor sap? The money she had in her bank account was more than Adrian could ever dream of earning! 

“Adrian, you remember the scandal about my previous boss, right? I showed you the article. She was engaged to Spencer, but it was called off after playing the field. Now she’s clinging to Spencer, and in a fit of anger, the Dorsey family booted her from Dorsey International. She’s taking out all her frustrations on me. My colleagues are all against me. I feel like I can’t go on.” Adrian felt a pang of pain. He remembered the woman he’d met that night and thought she didn’t seem that bad. But if Sydney was saying this, it must’ve been true. “Do all your coworkers believe her? She’s not at Dorsey International anymore. Why are they targeting you?” 

“They blame me for Brielle’s departure, claiming I want to take her place. But I never thought that. Now, I’m scared to even go to the office. My desk and chair are always covered in foundation and lipstick. What should I do? I’ve worked so hard to get to where I am,” Sydney sobbed. 

“That’s outrageous! Sydney, I’ll go to the office tomorrow and sort this out!” 

“Adrian, please, it’s no use. She had connections at the company. Standing up for me will only make things worse. Let me be!” 

With that, she rushed toward the window in her room. “I can’t sleep at night, and her face haunts me. Only if she’s gone will I have peace. Let me go, Adrian! I want to end this!”

Adrian grabbed her in panic, trembling with fear. “Sydney, don’t do anything stupid. If you want her dead, I’ll help you.” 

A glint of triumph flashed in Sydney’s eyes, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. “You’re aware of Stellar Stage Entertainment, right? She’s now the president there, and apparently, she’s thriving. How can she be better off while I suffer from the bullying she incited? Adrian, you’ll help me, won’t you? If you do, we can get married right away.” 

The idea of marriage was too tempting for Adrian. He had been dreaming of marrying Sydney for years and was deeply in love with her. Now, the woman he loved was being tortured by someone else. 

Sensing his hesitation, Sydney stepped one foot out the window. Adrian desperately pulled her back in. “Sydney!” 

“Adrian! Let go of me!” 

“I promise you, I’ll visit Stellar Stage Entertainment tomorrow. Don’t worry. I’ll do what you want.” 

Sydney finally felt relieved, her smile intensified. 

The next morning, Adrian woke up at six. He saw Sydney curled up in bed, and his heart ached. Could this ordeal have caused Sydney to become depressed? 

His brow furrowed, he reached out to comfort her, but she flinched away. “Don’t touch me! I’m not Brielle, please don’t.” 

Adrian flinched, and woke her up. 

Between sobs, Sydney recounted how she had been assaulted by a stranger because of Brielle. “I was too scared to tell you, fearing I wasn’t good enough for you. Yesterday, I ran into Brielle at Dorsey International. I felt so dirty, and she humiliated me for it.” 

Adrian felt as if he’d been struck on the head with a hammer. The woman he loved had endured so much without his knowledge. Grinding his teeth, he grabbed his keys and stormed out the door!
