Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 902

At Dorsey International, the recent shake-up had triggered a wave of resignations, including many key executives who were the backbone of the company.

These execs had been loyal to Max for years, holding him in high regard, and they knew William's tactics all too well. If William had any real talent, he wouldn’t have gone so long without making a mark. Now, with him at the helm, anyone not in his camp was bound to get sidelined.

Seeing the writing on the wall, those in the know quickly handed in their resignations and started job hunting. The initial trickle of resignations soon turned into a flood. At first, William was pleased to see Max’s loyalists leave—they’d never fully back him anyway. But as the numbers swelled into the dozens, he felt things spiraling out of control.

With so many key roles suddenly vacant, Dorsey International plunged into chaos. Desperate for stability, William reluctantly called Patrick, hoping to persuade him to stay.

Patrick was at the Premier Palace, sitting with Max and discussing Brielle's condition with her doctor, when his phone buzzed. Max seemed uninterested in anything outside Brielle’s pregnancy issue.

Patrick raised an eyebrow at the caller ID. “Mr. Ryan.”

“Patrick, why don’t you come over to Dorsey International? I’ll offer you ten times your current salary. You’ve been with the company for years; you must be attached to it. Max is about to be jailed, and sticking with him will only drag you down.”

Patrick chuckled at William's pitch. Without a second thought, he blocked the number and relayed the conversation to Max.

Max, sipping his coffee, showed no reaction and turned back to the doctor. “We’ve talked, and Brielle won’t agree. Is there no other way?”

The middle-aged doctor, who had examined Brielle, looked troubled. “Max, I know you’re worried about Ms. Brielle, but other than doing the surgery while she’s unconscious, I’m at a loss. Maybe I could contact some international colleagues skilled in hypnosis, but it’s risky. Simple hypnosis won’t work on someone who's been through as much as Ms. Brielle; it would require deep hypnosis. Even my friend wouldn’t dare attempt that lightly—it could trigger other traumatic memories.”
