Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 1550

After Andrew left, his phone buzzed.

"Mr. Clements, we've got some news. That guy's company is about to go public. There's a play for us here."

Taking a company public is a crucial time, and that guy's been hanging around Aubree like a bad penny.

Andrew had an epiphany; he couldn’t just sit on the sidelines anymore. If someone was trying to take what was his, he had to fight to protect it.

He needed to get Matthew out of Beaconsfield. If Matthew’s company hit some bumps, he’d surely have to leave town.

A steely determination flashed in Andrew's eyes.

"Let's do it."

After hashing out some plans, the call ended.

Sitting in his car, Andrew was hit by a wave of exhaustion.

But then he remembered that kiss with Aubree. He couldn't help but touch his lips, a small smile playing on his face.

Yet, the memory of her getting sick afterward wiped the smile away, leaving a pang of hurt.

Just then, Jaired called, inviting him for a drink. With his mind in a whirl, Andrew decided to join.

When he arrived, the place was buzzing. Bryan, Ricardo, and even Joseph were there.

Joseph found Beaconsfield pretty dull. He'd been waiting for his boss, King, to return, but nothing yet.

Tired of Patrick, the scheming eunuch, flaunting his newfound power, Joseph started hanging with this crew and was now less eager to head back to North America.

Back in the day with King, his life had been all about fights and feuds, not much room for friendships.

Now, with these new pals, he never missed a drinking session.

Jaired, being single and with time on his hands, was the most carefree of the group. Bryan was busy with Irene and the kids, Ricardo had filming, and Joseph occasionally had to go back to deal with Patrick. But Jaired? He spent his days organizing get-togethers.

Every time they drank, Jaired would vent about Dustin.

"That guy's something else, right? Told me he'd stay single with me, then boom — he's got a son and a daughter."

As Jaired ranted, a sense of injustice simmered within him.
