Master of his heart

Chapter 313
Max's fingertips faintly stirred as he lifted his gaze. “Bradley’s gonna screw up
sooner or later.” Michael arched an eyebrow, his tone casual. “I recall Bradley's
doing quite well for himself. He wouldn't have outplayed all those rivals if he
wasn't.
“It's just a matter of time.” Whenever Max wished for trouble, it would brew.
Michael choked on those words, feeling an even greater headache coming on.
Sometimes, talking to his youngest son was infuriating enough to drive a man to
his grave.
William and Ryan were all respectful and deferential, but with Max, it was always
Michael who ended up eating humble pie.
“Since William is so keen on this project, let him have at it. It's just a medium—
sized venture, after all. He's done his fair share for Dorsey International over the
years; can’t deny him this small request.”
Michael thought back to last night when William suddenly showed up at the
family mansion. dutifully sharing supper with him. It was only afterward that
William brought up Bradley, carefully omitting the fact that the project was one
that Max had discarded.
What was William up to?
Max stood, understanding that Michael was playing the peacemaker, hinting that
denying this favor would be a slight against his elders. “This won't set a
precedent.”
Michael lifted a hand, pressing at his brow once more. “Yeah, let your brother
have his way with
it.”
After leaving the family mansion and getting into his car, Max's expression
darkened. William was aware of his ties with Brielle, but just lacking any solid
evidence for now.
William saw Max abandon the partnership with Bradley, and it probably spurred
him to do some digging, which led him to Brielle.
But it was all speculation.
Such speculation, if brought before Michael, would embarrass himself. So,
William shifted tactics, reclaiming the project. This way, he could put Max in his
place.
Not just that, but it could also sow discord between Max and Michael, and
furthermore, strain Max’s relationship with Brielle, stirring up trouble.
Killing two birds with one stone.
Max pieced together the intricate puzzle, closing his eyes. William was
meticulous, clever enough this time not to blab to Michael, but retreating as a
way to advance.
By bringing this matter to Michael directly, Max would inevitably raise Michael's
suspicions...

Chapter 313
Sooner or later, it would lead back to Brielle.
Patrick, driving up front, noticed Max looking exhausted and couldn't help asking.
“Sir, are you worried about Ms. Brielle’s safety?”
If she caught Michael's eye, no one could guess what Michael's would do, Given
Michael's ruthless tactics against Everett, Brielle wouldn't stand a chance.
It wasn't just concern; Brielle had already caught William's attention. It seemed
necessary to take other measures. At the very least, Max couldn't allow her to get
dragged into this.
Facing Max's silence, Patrick knew he must've been pondering some issue.
Patrick kept quiet.
As the sky darkened, a tense undercurrent flowed through Beaconsfield. Those
with a keen sense sensed the change, but outsiders remained oblivious.
Brielle, only half in the loop, knew getting close to Max meant trouble. But having
reached out to him, she’d braced herself for whatever might come.
Julian had passed away, and she'd sent the orphanage director packing. Brielle
had no family in Beaconsfield, just a few scattered friends. Yet she hadn't
expected Max to push her away.

Catherine's eyes turned scornful at the sight of Brielle. “Well, look who it is. Ms.
Haywood.” Her tone dripped with sarcasm, grating on the nerves.
Brielle stood at the curb, hailing a taxi, with no mind to engage her. Brielle leaned
her cane against a tree trunk, and waited.
