Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186 

Lillian was absolutely livid. How could the Haywood family even consider finding another suitor for that bitch Brielle

Even if the Haywoods had fallen on hard times, they still had serious cash to their name. Was it really necessary to pair Brielle up with some upandcoming young hotshot

As her face contorted with rage, Lillian overheard the next words from Miranda

Mr. Connor, from Apex Dynamics, is in his fifties. Divorced a few years back. His wife couldn’t bear his constant infidelities and ended up taking her own life from depression. He hasn’t remarried since then, though he’s had his fair share of flings with young things. Not exactly the classiest of acts. Brielle and him? They’re a match made in heaven.” 

A wicked thrill darted through Lillian’s eyes. A twicemarried man in his fifties with a penchant for playing the field

Miranda hit the nail on the head. This man was the perfect match for Brielle

She could hardly wait for Brielle to tie the knot with him, her voice laced with glee. Is Mr. Connor on board with this?” 

Mira Sheered, Mr. Connor is all about the looks, and Brielle’s got the kind of face he goes 

for. He’ll definitely bite. With this, the Haywood clan can skim off some benefits.” 

It was as if they were auctioning off Brielle to secure a lucrative deal for the Haywood estate

Lillian felt a weight lift from her shoulders, her lips curving into a smile, Mom, you’re too kind to Brielle. The wife of the CEO of Apex Dynamics is far better than being some chauffeur’s wife. Brielle ought to be thanking you.” 

Miranda shared the sentiment. After all, they had raised Brielle for years; they couldn’t let her just walk away without getting something in return

Meanwhile, in the adjacent parlor, Robert was sitting across from Mr. Connor

Apex Dynamics was a major client for the Haywoods

Mr. Connor, barely five foot seven, sported a belly that hid his shoelaces from view

Dressed in a bespoke suit, his shirt tucked neatly in, an Hermes belt around his waist stood out conspicuously

Mr. Haywood, I’ve had other companies courting me for a partnership, offering better rates. than the Haywood estate. And with all the recent scandals 

including Ms. Lillian’s tarnished. reputation, your stock prices have taken a nosedive. It’s hardly the opportune time for me to make an offer.” 

The trouble with public companies was that a little bit of bad press could ripple through the stock market

A major scandal could even cause a stock market crash

Connor might have been nouveau riche, but he knew how to talk the talk. After so much back and forth, he still hadn’t budged

Losing Apex Dynamics to a competitor would be a massive blow to the Haywoods

Robert had no choice but to play his trump card

I hear you’ve been on the lookout for a suitable marriage partner, Mr. Connor. What do you think about Brielle?” 

A gleam of excitement sparked in Connor’s eyes, Brielle’s stunning visage flashing through his mind, his chubby cheeks flushing with excitement

He had seen Brielle once before, and her beauty had left an indelible impression

She might be a bit too demure for his taste, but that was no issue. Once she was in his grasp. he’d mold her into the perfect plaything
