Master of his heart

Chapter 20
With that, he turned on his heel and strode into the private room without a
moment's
hesitation.
Aubree stood still, her fingertips trembling slightly. A mix of affection and
grievance ebbed and flowed within her, surging up and receding again, causing
her an unbearable
discomfort.
She took out her phone and sent a message to Brielle, knowing she didn’t want
to see her, and she left first.
After watching Andrew enter the private room, Brielle felt uneasy all over. Andrew
acted as if he had completely forgotten the awkward moment just before, deftly
snuffing out his cigarette in the ashtray, ignoring Brielle’s presence as if she were
invisible.
Women, in his opinion, were like monsters. You could treat them like dogs, beat
them until your hand ached, but in the end, they would still love you. He had
always been the golden. boy, never giving much thought to the sort of affection
that came running at a beckon.
To him, women could spend all day dreaming of love, but for men, it was all
about those few peak seconds.
Andrew took out another cigarette and finally broached the topic of the evening.
“Breaking into that foreign market is like gnawing on a tough bone. I've been
circling for half a year to secure mining rights for three ore sites, and the rest are
monopolized by Infinity Brilliance. They guard against me like I'm a wolf.”
Max chuckled softly, leaning back in his chair and pushing a glass of juice
towards Brielle, “Aren’t you a wolf?”
Brielle considered leaving, but knowing Andrew’s temper, she couldn't predict
how he might react. Fortunately, with Aubree gone, she had time to cool down
and put her thoughts in order.
Andrew clenched the cigarette between his teeth as if he was biting down on the
jugular of an enemy,
“If 1 had been born a few years earlier, what would those bastards matter? If it
weren't for their control over ninety percent of the global diamond mining
resources, I wouldn't bother dealing with those savages who point guns at your
head at the drop of a hat. This time, securing the mining rights for those three
mines nearly cost me my life.”
Brielle listened to their conversation, her thoughts slowly settling.
The Clements family was renowned in the jewelry business, with the two most
famous brands in the region under their banner. But with scarce mineral
resources at home, and South Africa being rich in them, decades ago, some
shrewd investors had bought up a large portion of the South African mining
rights.
The Clements had managed to procure a few mines, which laid the foundation
for their

fortune. However, with Andrew's generation, the opposing company had resorted
to gun-to-the-head tactics, trying to force him to relinquish his mining rights.
Andrew's nature would never allow him to submit, but the current leader of Infinity
Brilliance was as relentless as Max.
Max's gaze was calm, “Doesn't the director of Infinity Brilliance, Mr. Lynch have a
fatal
weakness?”
The director and his wife were deeply in love, but while on al
e years s business trip, his wife gave birth to a daughter. Due to the old
generation’s monopoly in the diamond industry, they had made many enemies
worldwide.

“With Mrs. Lynch's level of concern for her daughter, you could negotiate.”
The domestic turf belonged to the four great families. If the Clements family were
willing to help find the child, a small business concession would surely be
acceptable to Mrs. Lynch.

Brielle detested his tone. “There’s no need for Mr. Clements to go to any
expense.” She spoke with an air of indifference.
Andrew's eyes narrowed dangerously, his lips thinning like a blade.
Brielle believed that if Max weren't present, this man would not hesitate to put a
gun to her head. In his eyes, a human life was but a piece of pretentious paper.
After a while, Andrew rose to his feet, “Aubree’s waiting for me at the villa. I'll be
off then. Little Canary, we'll meet again.”
