Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 907

Raymond, even in his middle years, still carried himself with an air of refined grace. At this moment, he sat with perfect posture, gently swirling the drink in his glass, the ice cubes tinkling softly against the crystal.

"Don't you go taking after him," he advised with a stern look.

Over the years, Raymond had only Dustin, his son, to focus on. His daughter, who had vanished without a trace, was a lost cause in his mind. All he wanted now was for his son to make something of himself.

Yet, within the North American elite, it was no secret that Dustin was a playboy, a regular Casanova.

Still, in Raymond's eyes, his son was leagues better than that Max fellow.

For some reason, when Raymond had stumbled upon Max shopping for a ring with that young lady, he couldn't help but take an instant disliking to him. Little did he know, it was the classic case of a father-in-law's scrutiny, where no suitor could ever measure up.

At this moment, father and son shared a common adversary.

Dustin, filled with righteous indignation, finally unbuttoned the top few buttons of his shirt as if it would make breathing easier.

"Dad, did Mom tell you something?" he asked, perplexed.

Otherwise, Raymond wouldn't be so composed after her disappearance.

The couple had always had a strong relationship. When their daughter went missing, Sarah had been devastated, and Raymond had been her rock. Throughout the years, Sarah had been preoccupied with finding their daughter, somewhat neglecting their son.

But Dustin cared deeply for his suffering sister and never complained. The family had always been harmonious. Logically, Raymond should have been frantic after Sarah's disappearance, scouring the earth for her. Instead, he came to Dustin's place, chastising him for reckless behavior.

"Your mother did come across something," Raymond finally admitted, though he didn't elaborate.

He was providing Dustin with a warning.

"There are definitely people in the Lynch family estate working with Dummy's crowd. Be careful with what you say and do when you return. It won't be long before we flush them out."

The Lynch family estate was run by loyal staff who had been with them for years, and the butler had been particularly devoted to Raymond's care.
