Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 880

At just ten years old, a boy chosen to be the heir to the Dorsey family empire was suddenly outed as not having Dorsey blood? If anyone else had dropped this bomb, people might have just laughed it off. But it was Alivia who spilled the tea. She was riding high on public opinion, and given her tangled history with Max, it felt like a nasty move to bring him down after things went south between them.

Given Alivia's high profile, it seemed reckless to cross Max like this. She must've been cornered.

The moment the news broke, everyone online jumped in, most thinking Alivia had lost her mind.

But then the paternity test from a reputable clinic came out, confirming it was legit. It shook the Beaconsfield elite, but they stayed mum, waiting for the Dorsey family's response.

Chaos erupted at the Dorsey household.

William was the first to react, storming into the hospital ward where the family patriarch was staying.

The hospital corridor was packed with Dorsey relatives and a squad of bodyguards. Michael, being his usual reclusive self, refused to see anyone, letting the guards keep everyone at bay as the family's uproar echoed around.

William, red-faced and trembling with rage, rallied the fringe relatives to turn against Max.

But when they reached Dorsey International, they found Max had vanished after meeting with the patriarch, and nobody knew where he'd gone.

William felt like he was punching air – frustrated and helpless.

Where had Max disappeared to in the past few days? That question was on everyone's mind.

Brielle had been waiting for Max to take her to find Dustin. Instead, she got ambushed by Alivia's smear campaign online.

Before this mess, she hadn't seen Max since he'd gone to confront Michael. He'd texted her twice, just telling her to rest.

She'd overheard his phone call with Michael that night, talking about having a serious discussion.

Two days passed with no word.
