Chapter 378
Brielle popped the last of her vitamins and chuckled to herself as she saw that
Patrick had already made himself scarce, like a good little ghost..
Patrick was like a shadowy guardian straight out of medieval times, always there
but never
seen.
She reached for a couple of bowls, eyes widening a bit as she took in the spread
of five dishes. on the dinner table. She swallowed hard in anticipation.
Max was in a good mood, and it only got better when he noticed Brielle serving
him a bowl of soup. A smile curled at the edge of his lips.
Brielle sat down across from him and, struck by a sudden thought, looked up to
ask, “So, what's the deal with William and Ryan? Are they tight?”
“In the Dorsey clan, no one’s really buddy—buddy with anyone.”
“I was thinking, if both Ryan and William are gunning for you, maybe we could
play Ryan to trip up William?”
Just to throw William off his game for a bit and shift his focus
Munching thoughtfully, Brielle quickly sorted through the options in her mind.
After a moment, she looked up again.
“Didn’t William get saddled with that Kingston Enterprises project? It's a decent—
sized deal, right? Has the contract been signed already?”
Max, ever the attentive partner, served her some more food, piling her plate high.
“Eat first.”
With no other choice, Brielle bent her head and took a few bites, though her mind
was
elsewhere.
Max chuckled, knowing she wouldn't be at peace until this was sorted out. “The
contract's still up in the air, but the paperwork with Book is all done.”
Brielle nodded, her earlier words to Noah apparently having an effect. With the
Kingston heir stirring up trouble, any partnership with Kingston Enterprises was
bound to bring headaches to Dorsey International.
William hadn't sealed the deal yet, and Ryan had always been itching to get back
into the Dorsey fold. Maybe it was time for Ryan to take this chance to sabotage
William in front of Michael.
After all, what William feared most after years of treading carefully in the Dorsey
family wast Michael's disappointment.
William playing hardball with the Kingston deal was already taking a toll on
Dorsey Internationals reputation.

Brielle frowned, feeling that it wasn’t William's usual style. If he knew partnering
with Kingston Enterprises was risky, why keep them on the hook?
Maybe Kingston had something he could exploit.
What mattered most to Bradley and Catherine? Their beloved son.
Controlling their son meant controlling Kingston Enterprises.
Setting down her bowl, Brielle quickly called Tiffanie, only to find out the Kingston
heir had been missing for days.
No wonder Kingston Enterprises hadn't made a fuss over the stalled contract—
they were too busy looking for their missing son.
William was probably on the hunt, too. He wanted Kingston Enterprises for
himself!
While stirring trouble for Max to keep him in check, William was also expanding
his own. influence.
Brielle’s eyes turned icy. Besides needing to talk to Sue soon, she had to find the
Kingston heir before William did.
If William got to him first, he'd be able to manipulate Kingston Enterprises at will.

If William got control, it would be a latent threat to Max.
She couldn't help but glance over at Max, who was calmly reviewing some
documents on the couch as if the world's troubles didn't concern him
The dinner remnants had been cleared, the room now belonging to just the two
of them.
Sensing her gaze, Max patted the space beside him with a quiet. “Come here.”
Like a magnet, Brielle found herself drawn to his side.
She never denied the pull she felt towards Max, nor the desire that crackled
between them.
