Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 1076

Dustin thought to himself, That was a solid hit.

At first, everyone assumed Max had perished in the blaze. No one understood the hell Brielle went through that month better than Dustin did. Haunted by auditory and visual hallucinations, she seemed trapped in a never-ending nightmare.

And then there was the child they never got to welcome into the world. The agony she endured was immeasurable.

Yet, Max had assumed a new identity, seamlessly blending into the shadows, even managing to wreak havoc from within. Just thinking about it made Dustin's blood boil, but Brielle had chosen to stay by King’s side, so it wasn’t his place to interfere.

After all, this was his sister’s personal affair.

But to let this man get close to Brielle without any consequences? No way.

The table was already a lost cause, so Dustin picked out a new one and took a seat first, setting the pace. After a moment, King followed suit.

Meanwhile, the café’s owner hid behind the counter, too scared to come out. Having witnessed the brawl, he was dumbfounded. Didn’t their hands or feet hurt? He dared not intervene, opting instead to shrink back completely.

Seated calmly now, Dustin tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his gaze casually falling on King.

“You’re thinking of marrying little Bri?” he asked.

“Yeah.”

“She doesn’t seem too keen, does she?” If she were, she wouldn’t have slapped him.

This guy was nothing like Max. Although Dustin wasn’t a fan of Max either, Max had won Brielle over with kindness. But this guy? He did whatever he pleased, completely disregarding the feelings of others.

King’s expression remained stern, unaffected by Dustin’s comment. Inside, however, a storm was brewing.

“It doesn’t matter if she agrees or not. I make things happen. You, the Lynch family, are just treading water. You should’ve never brought him back.”

Dustin glanced at him, seeing Max’s face but wishing he had a different mouth.
