Master of his heart

Chapter 55
The next morning, Brielle turned on her phone, which had been turned off. There
were many missed calls inside, not only from the Haywood family but also from
Spencer and Faith. As for the messages filling the screen, she didn’t even bother
to look at them. She just pressed delete.
After tidying up a bit, she made her way to the estate’s living room. Max was out,
likely not to return until the evening. Brielle had committed the information she'd
uncovered to memory, but she was eager to get a real feel for the work
environment at the North American conglomerate’s towering headquarters. She
knew all too well that limited experience narrowed one’s vision, and only by
immersing herself in the thick of it could she truly grasp the allure of these
financial powerhouses.
Wall Street, for instance, just a stone’s throw away, was the stuff of dreams for
any finance professional. The hub of the business world, where within a mere
square kilometer, over two thousand financial institutions and nearly four hundred
thousand finance professionals converged.
The very thought had Brielle’s blood pumping with excitement.
However, her outing faced a rocky start as a sudden downpour caught her mid-
journey. She took shelter under a bus stop awning, watching as dark clouds
amassed ominously above. Horns blared in the distance, visibility dropping by
the second.
Brielle checked her route on her phone and decided on a shortcut down a less-
traveled alley.
“Bang! Bang!” No sooner had she stepped into the deserted lane than the sound
of gunfire echoed. A nearby sign clattered violently in the wind.
Under the veil of rain, all discord seemed well concealed.
Brielle halted, not daring to move forward. In a foreign land, especially in carrying
firearms was common, running up like that was seeking death.
As she was about to retreat, a rough hand clamped around her wrist. The gr
enough to make her bones ache, and in moments she found herself pinned ag

Brielle stiffened, swallowing hard. The cold barrel of a gun pressed against her
side m it clear that any sudden moves could be her last.
Several men lay in the depths of the alley, their blood mingling with the rainwater
in the gutters. She had stumbled upon a murder.
She didn’t recognize the man, but there was something vaguely familiar about
him. Then,

In the flash of a synapse, a photograph came to mind.
The young son of Infinity Brilliance, the diamond industry's most favored and
enigmatic figure.
Twenty-some years ago, Infinity Brilliance lost a daughter. Neither the chairman
nor this young man had ever ceased their search.
Brielle’s eyelashes fluttered as she managed to speak, “Mr. Lynch, I didn’t see
anything.”
It was no secret that Infinity Brilliance had amassed a multitude of enemies. Their
domineering rules and sharp practices had nearly cornered the entire diamond
market.

She regretted her quick tongue. “I don’t know him.”
The wise know when to yield.
Dustin's grip tightened, a flicker of irritation crossing his face.
An employee of Dorsey International not knowing Max was like telling tall tales
with eyes wide ope
open. His hand formed into a claw, intending to frighten her, but in the next
instant, the scene before him shifted dramatically.
“Thud!”
With a swift judo move, Brielle had him on the ground and pinned his arm with an
efficient
twist.
Dustin was stunned, his mind racing to catch up. Instead of resisting, he looked
up at her. “What the hell?”
