Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 819

"No worries, Kenzo. Take care of yourself."

Kenzo glanced at the message, stayed silent, and headed upstairs.

His phone buzzed again. Seeing the flashing number, he let out a derisive snort and hurled the phone against the wall.

But the phone kept buzzing, as if it refused to be silenced.

Taking a deep breath, he picked it up, looked at the cracked screen, and pressed the answer button.

"Keep looking."

With those three words, he tossed the phone aside.

In the corner of the study, Daisy shrank back in fear, probably startled by his recent outburst.

"Kenzo."

Hearing her call, Kenzo's eyes narrowed, and he turned, only now noticing Daisy had been standing by the bookcase the whole time, unseen amidst his turmoil.

Daisy, feeling guilty, couldn't help but move closer.

"Kenzo, what should we do? Your granddad's been so heartless, throwing us out like that, making us the laughingstock of the town."

Regret painted Daisy's face.

"Kenzo, you have to help me and Alivia. You've got to make Max marry Alivia. It was Martha's last wish."

Kenzo just stared at her, his dark eyes unreadable, silent.

Under his gaze, Daisy felt a chill down her spine and involuntarily reached out to tug at his sleeve.

"If it weren't for me bringing you home, you'd surely have been long gone, Kenzo. You owe me big time, and you can't desert me and your sister now."

In the social circles of Beaconsfield, few of the ladies worked; most were homemakers, tending to their families.

In the business world, where a woman's standing was already low, the patriarchal husbands certainly didn't want their wives in the public eye.
