Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 389

Chapter 389 

The moment Dustin swaggered up to the central poker table, a collective gasp washed through the crowd. Brielle faintly heard the murmurs of Money Burnerbouncing around the room. Seemed like the guy was quite the legend in this joint

She tried to wiggle free from his grasp, but Dustin nonchalantly pulled up a chair, plopping her down next to him

Dustin was known for his revolving door of arm candy, so no one paid much mind to Brielle’s identity. Those who relished in the local gossip recognized her in an instantwasn’t she the latest buzz on the net

But here, nobody gave a hoot about online chitchat. Once you stepped through these doors, the only thing that earned you respect was cold, hard cash

Overpowered by Dustin, Brielle resigned herself to the seat

Another voice cut through the air as a figure approached, taking a seat directly across from Brielle

Connor was late to the party and clueless about Dustin’s setup, so when he spotted Brielle, a sneer curled his lips. Well, well, if it isn’t Ms. Brielle. You’ve been quite the sensation online, I hear.” 

Connor had once fancied the idea of marrying Brielle, but after being dressed down by her, he harbored a grudge that just wouldn’t quit

He’d gleefully shared a juicy rumor from the Hatfield family grapevine with Catherine, thinking Brielle had snagged Max. But Catherine had laughed in his face just days before, claiming Brielle was throwing herself at Max, who didn’t even give her a second glance

The thought of Brielle demeaning him while groveling to another man boiled his blood. And with his business hitting the skids, his words were all the more venomous. So what’s the plan, bedded and bored by your last sugar daddy, and now trawling for a new one? But after Dorsey’s had his fill, I doubt you’ll find many takers.” 

Connor’s chip stack was modestfifty million at best. He’d been biding his time, waiting for Dustin’s appearance

The moniker Money Burnerwas wellearned with Dustin. Sitting at a table with him meant you could easily rake in a few hundred million. There was that one CEO, nearly bankrupt and on the verge of a skydive without a parachute, who turned his fortune around with a ten billion win from Dustin

Nobody dared cross Dustin unless they were looking to make an enemy of wealth itself. And Dustin was much more than just money

As Connor’s words hung in the air, a shadow passed over Dustin’s eyes. He was about to retort when Brielle beat him to the punch. Word on the street is your company is going under, Mr. 

Chapter 389 

Connor. Is that because you’ve been badmouthing karma?” 

You!Connor was livid, his scalp tingling with rage. He’d been living high for years, but now, he didn’t who he had offended. Deals crumbled one after the other. His once flush company was now drowning in debt, and the banks were cutting him loose

With no other options, the casino was his last resort, and thank goodness Dustin was there

A chuckle rippled through the onlookers. Apex Dynamics’s troubles were an open secret, but nobody spoke of it outrightbusiness etiquette and all. Brielle didn’t care for such niceties, and Connor was left smarting from the blow

However, making a scene over Brielle here would only paint him as a bully. He scoffed, throwing a glance at Dustin, then offered a friendlywarning. Mr. Lynch, you’d do well to steer clear of this one.”
