Master of his heart (Max and Brielle)
Chapter 1101

Talking to him felt like trying to explain Shakespeare to a cow-utterly pointless.

Brielle couldn't even stand the thought of speaking to him. She slid off the rest of the rings from her fingers, figuring the saleslady at the jewelry store must be over the moon. Probably hit her annual sales quota in one go.

But then, realizing these were diamond rings from the Lynch family business, Brielle felt a weird sense of comfort. At least the money was staying in the family.

Yet, with this man standing in front of her, she was ready to explode without him saying a word. It was strange how the same face could make you feel on top of the world when it was Max Dorsey, but could also drive you insane when it was someone else. King carefully picked up the rings from the ground and placed them gently beside her. Brielle felt a mix of anger and helplessness. If he really wanted to make her happy now, why didn't he stop the car when she screamed for him to pull over earlier? She decided to lie back down, her chest heaving with frustration, nearly making her feel sick. Seeing her like this, King thought she might still be upset and asked, "Brielle, are you still mad?" Brielle closed her eyes, knowing if she didn't respond, he would keep asking. So she replied stiffly, "No."

King sighed with relief. "That's good."

But dealing with controlling men like him was like getting a rotten apple and ten slaps in return. Brielle shut her eyes, not wanting to speak anymore.

Soon, she heard the sound of water running from the bathroom. After a while, she felt the covers being lifted and a warm body snuggling close to her, scooping her into an embrace.

"If you're not mad anymore, can we continue what we were doing this morning?"

King left the room in his pajamas, a handprint clearly marked on his cheek. Joseph, walking in, saw the mark but didn't dare to ask. Instead, he dutifully reported, "Sir, Ronald has been detained. He's been demanding to see you."

Ronald had managed to live this long only because King was willing to entertain his games over the years. Thinking he had King all figured out, Ronald was utterly confused when Joseph showed up with men. Now, at his age, he was barely hanging onto life. But he never thought it was King's doing; in his eyes, King was just a young pup. He assumed it was Joseph who had turned against King and acted on his own. The depth of King's act over the years was so convincing that even now, Ronald believed King was just a puppet.

"Sir, we've uncovered some moles

from other families, mainly

interested in oil and diamonds. Myles might have gone to them. When I went to apprehend Myles, he was gone. Regarding Ms. Brielle's incident, Myles must have had a hand in it too. Maybe Ms. Brielle didn't just forget; Myles could have used deep hypnosis on her, but..."

Joseph paused, noticing King with his head lowered, sensing a hint of sorrow. After all, he had witnessed the man unconscious for a month The moment King suspected Myles, he figured deep hypnosis might have been involved. But regardless, it was still Brielle who lost their child, a hurdle he couldn't overcome.

"What else?"

He looked at Joseph. Joseph lowered his head, speaking cautiously, But the surveillance

footage was preserved. It showede

Ms. Brielle asking Myles for the hypnosis herself, saying she didn't want to remember that period. I've saved the footage on the computer. Sir, would you like to see it?"

The thought of Brielle requesting hypnosis from Myles sent a sharp pain through King's heart, his throat burning with emotion.
