Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 881

William was on cloud nine, his face glowing with excitement. Despite all the challenges he'd faced in life, this unexpected windfall at his age made him feel invincible. The very thing he had coveted for years was now within his grasp.

He sneered, casting a lecherous glance at Brielle. It struck him how he'd never noticed just how stunning she was before. Given that she was an old flame of Max's, William couldn't help but wonder about her in more intimate settings. He didn't bother to hide his filthy thoughts, his gaze lingering on her, sending a chill down her spine.

Brielle felt a wave of nausea and quickly stepped into the elevator. Meanwhile, William marched straight towards the CEO's office as if he owned the place. The top-floor staff tried to stop him, but with a mere tilt of his head, they were dismissed on the spot. This show of power silenced everyone, and they could only watch as William took command. Their only hope was for Max to return swiftly and that the online rumors were just that—rumors.

After leaving the building, Brielle called Patrick, who answered her call. However, Patrick was clueless about Max's whereabouts and had only been tasked with finding Dustin.

"Ms. Brielle, we've located Mr. Lynch. I'll have someone pick you up tonight."

"But what about Max?"

"I'm sorry, the boss often goes off on his own. My job is to complete the tasks he’s assigned. The village where Mr. Lynch was seen is quite far, on the edge of Beaconsfield. We're still unsure about the situation there, but we've confirmed his presence. We leave tonight."

Brielle fell silent, her lashes casting a shadow on her cheeks. "Okay."

Finding her brother was crucial, but so was Max's safety. When Patrick admitted he had no idea what Max was up to, Brielle realized that perhaps no one truly knew Max at all.

She had some time before their evening departure, so she decided to visit the Dorsey family ancestral home. But before she could enter, she ran into Victoria.
