Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 1092

Dustin had a knack for staying unbrainwashed over the years, thanks in part to his ever-vigilant grandma who always made sure he had a hot meal on the table, and partly because of his naturally sunny disposition and constant alertness.

But Desiree from the Lynch family falling ill was no accident. Clearly, someone was trying to drive a wedge between Dustin and Desiree. After all, Desiree was a thorn in their side, messing up their plans. But the Lynch clan wasn’t one to just roll over. If Desiree had died, Raymond and Dustin would have turned over every rock until they found the culprit, potentially exposing the butler’s betrayal.

So the mastermind behind it all had been clever, just leaving Desiree bedridden. Dustin, however, threw them for a loop by not falling for their brainwashing tactics. Desiree and Brielle owed their lives to him.

King had agreed to collaborate with these shadowy figures, but they were cautious, only sending Ronald as their representative all these years without revealing any core members. Now, he had Myles on the case, but the investigation was proving to be a tough nut to crack.

It wasn’t that King was reluctant to join forces with the Lynch family; it was just that their household had been infiltrated by the butler, and Dustin had his own Judas to worry about. It was unclear if the Lynch family had rid themselves of all moles, and any premature alliance could tip off the enemy.

“Sir, they’re too on guard. Ricardo in Beaconsfield is a top-ranked hitman, but there was someone even more dangerous before him. No one knows if it’s a man or a woman, but they’ve taken out many over the years. We’ve got nothing on their base or any of the key players, I’m sorry.”

Myles spoke with sincerity, his head bowed, showing no sign of the man who had once hoarded mementos of Brielle. King, resting his head on his hand, glanced at the clock on the wall and said in a calm voice, “Ricardo is a wild card. It’s uncertain if he’ll continue to do their bidding. Have our people in Beaconsfield keep an eye on him. If he harms anyone else, take him out.”

By “anyone else,” he meant Stellar Stage Entertainment. Now that Ricardo was an actor under Stellar Stage Entertainment, diligently working on set, and since Stellar Stage Entertainment was Brielle’s pride and joy, King, albeit begrudgingly, didn’t want to see it come to harm and upset her.
