Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 1132

The words hit like a sledgehammer, shaking everyone to their core. It was obvious: once Kenzo married Irene, the entire organization would be his to command.

Kenzo was a newcomer, but he had swiftly risen through the ranks by cozying up to the boss's only daughter. He’d also uncovered a secret meeting between two women, nipping a hidden threat in the bud. Now, Colton had set a chair right beside him, making it clear to everyone that Kenzo was the heir apparent.

Kenzo kept quiet, but Irene boldly wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips. "Congrats, sweetheart."

Kenzo’s eyes remained unreadable, but he flashed her a smile anyway. He stepped forward, nodded to Colton, and took his seat calmly beside him.

Colton gave him an approving look. Kenzo was cool, calm, and deceptively composed. Going up against someone like him would be terrifying. Luckily, his daughter had the smarts to bring Kenzo into the fold early on.

"Kenzo, you’ve proven me right. This is your place now. As for your father and grandfather, their fate is in your hands. Do as you see fit."

Kenzo smiled and glanced at Sarah. "Maybe the boss should focus on these two first."

"Got any bright ideas, Kenzo?"

Kenzo lowered his lashes, thinking, then spoke. "You mentioned using Miss Qin to leverage the Lynch family and the royal connections, but keeping her there... Miss Qin was a big name internationally. A slight oversight and she could contact the outside world. She needs to be kept in solitary confinement. As for the other one..."

His eyes landed on Orla, her head hanging low. "Just kill her. She’s of no use."

Colton frowned. He trusted Kenzo, but handing over the future of the organization so soon felt risky.

"Father, let him do it," Irene said with a smile. "Kenzo promised he’d never betray me."

Even if his heart was elsewhere, his current aim wasn’t to be with that person but to destroy them. Their goals were perfectly aligned.

Love turning to hate, love turning to fear. Such is the way of the world.
