Master of his heart

Chapter 394
Brielle was nonplussed by his tirade it was nothing more than Impotent fury.
Connor, a big—shot CEO, was stooping to berate a woman for winning a poker
game? It was crystal clear who held the moral high ground here.
The other guys at the table had been tempted to speak up for Brielle. Her
stunning bluff had caught everyone off guard. Even they would've fallen for it,
hook, line, and sinker. Brielle wasn't just playing cards; she was playing mind
games.
The onlookers weren't fans of Connor's antics either. In this place, your poker
face reflected. your true character, but with Dustin holding his peace, they just
continued to watch the spectacle unfold.
The no-limit Texas Hold'em game had drawn a crowd, with folks from other floors
now pressing in to see the action.
Andrew, with his arm snug around Tessa’s waist, noticed the movement towards
the poker table and raised an eyebrow curiously. “What's the hubbub?”
“Mr. Clements, haven't you heard? There's a newbie at the no-limit table.”
No-limit? That wasn’t a game for greenhorns. Was this just another lamb walking
into the slaughterhouse?
The same person who'd informed Andrew couldn't help but add, “Connor from
Apex Dynamics is there, too. Some rookie bluffed him out of millions, and he's
fuming. The game's still on. Mr. Clements, want to take a look? The newbie’s a
lady, goes by the name of Brielle, I think.”
At the mention of Brielle, Andrew’s face tensed, thinking he’d misheard. Brielle at
a high-stakes table? Membership alone cost a fortune, and she didn’t seem the
type to indulge in such luxuries. Even if she were with Max, that workaholic was
the last person you'd expect to find in such an establishment. So, who had she
come with?
Andrew felt an almost uncontrollable urge to check out the commotion, but Tessa
clung to his
arm for dear life.
Ever since her fallout with Brielle, Tessa had hardly set foot outside. The last
person she wanted to cross paths with was Brielle. She was already feeling out
of sorts, and her eyes. reddened with anger. Her health had been fragile, and she
hadn't been to any entertainment venues in years. But now, she couldn't let
Andrew out of her sight. An unsettling feeling had gripped her.
“Andrew, let's not go over there. I'm not feeling well,” she said, her already pale
face taking on a pitiful cast that easily stirred Andrew's protective instincts. After
all, nothing was more important than Tessa’s health.
He pulled out his phone and shot Max a message. [Did you know Brielle’s at the
underground casino?]
Chapter 394
Max was at the Dorsey family estate, where Michael sat at the head of the table,
coughing twice but remaining silent.
Ryan had followed through on Brielle’s expectations and sought out Michael that
very evening. clarifying the pending contract between Dorsey International and
Kingston Enterprises. The delay in signing was an undeniable issue.
The executives at Kingston Enterprises, although too busy to manage their
business directly, were growing dissatisfied with Dorsey International's stalling
tactics. A little digging would bring everything to light.
The atmosphere at the Dorsey family gathering was tense, and Max, having
been dragged into it, couldn't leave just yet. His phone was on silent, so he
missed Andrew’s message.
After sending the text, Andrew carefully escorted Tessa to one of the luxurious
private rooms upstairs. As they reached the stairwell, they could survey the lavish
scene below, including the
central poker table.
The crowd surrounded the table so thickly that a new round of the game was
about to
commence.
