Chapter 31
Ryan thought his ears were playing tricks on him. How on earth had Max shown up here, of all places?
He frowned, glanced down at Brielle, then directed a stern look at the bodyguards, “Keep an eye on her. Make sure she doesn’t make a peep.”
The guards, who had been busily unbuckling their belts, stopped and nodded respectfully.
Ryan took his time descending the staircase, spotting Max lounging on the sofa with Patrick tagging along.
It was Max’s first time visiting, and he’d always been a reserved person, with even less interaction with the rest of the Dorsey family.
At that moment, Faith graciously brought out a platter of fruits, relief washing over her when she saw Ryan was unaccompanied by his female assistant.
Ryan’s history of parading mistresses through the family threshold wasn’t new. The first few times had caused quite the scandal, leading to a public ruckus from Faith. The uproar had become the talk of the Dorsey family, only to be met with Ryan’s ruthless retribution.
In her earlier years, Faith had been the devoted housewife, but sensing Ryan’s growing impatience with her, she’d thrown herself into her own business ventures.
With Dorsey International looming large in the backdrop, her company thrived, yet its annual revenue was a mere drop in the ocean.
Later, she’d had an epiphany. Secure her son Spencer’s position, and she could reclaim Ryan’s affections. After all, despite his notorious escapades, Ryan had never sired an illegitimate child. Spencer was Ryan’s sole heir, his importance unquestioned.
Faith forced a smile, “Max, what brings you here so late? Trouble at the company?”
Max casually sipped his tea, taking his time to reply, while Patrick nodded in confirmation. “Mrs. Dorsey, someone blocked the CEO’s car tonight-a pregnant woman.”
