Master of his heart (Max and Brielle)
Chapter 1132

The words hit like a sledgehammer, shaking everyone to their core. It was obvious: once Kenzo married Irene, the entire organization would be his to command.

Kenzo was a newcomer, but he had swiftly risen through the ranks by cozying up to the boss's only daughter. He'd also uncovered a secret meeting between two women, nipping a hidden threat in the bud. Now, Colton had set a chair right beside him, making it clear to everyone that Kenzo was the heir apparent. Kenzo kept quiet, but Irene boldly wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips. "Congrats, sweetheart."

Kenzo's eyes remained unreadable, but he flashed her a smile anyway. He stepped forward, nodded to Colton, and took his seat calmly beside him.

Colton gave him an approving look. Kenzo was cool, calm, and deceptively composed. Going up against someone like him would be terrifying. Luckily, his daughter had the smarts to bring Kenzo into the fold early on.

"Kenzo, you've proven me right. This is your place now. As for your father and grandfather, their fate is in your hands. Do as you see fit."

Kenzo smiled and glanced at Sarah. "Maybe the boss should focus on these two first."

"Got any bright ideas, Kenzo?"

Kenzo lowered his lashes, thinking, then spoke. "You mentioned using Miss Qin to leverage the Lynch family and the royal connections, but keeping her there... Miss Qin was a big name internationally. A slight oversight and she could contact the outside world. She needs to be kept in solitary confinement. As for the other one..."

His eyes landed on Orla, her head hanging low. "Just kill her. She's of no use."

"Kenzo, you might not know, but this woman is the former Saudi princess's older sister, from the Dorsey family. Her name's Orla.

She's been here for twenty-eigh net

years. A prodigy in her time, she helped develop our initial drugs. We can't just kill her."

The Dorsey family from Saudi? The former princess's sister? Wasn't that Max's aunt?

A flicker of interest sparked in Kenzo's eyes, followed by a light chuckle. Right now, Colton didn't know that King was Max, so he hadn't thought to use Orla as

leverage. But Kenzo was already a

Step

ahead. This woman could be useful.

He needed to dig into Orla's relationship with her sister. If they were close, Orla could be a way to threaten Max. Max now controlled Saudi gif, a position of immense power. If Orla was the key to bringing him down, she was worth keeping.

Finding someone like her in the organization was quite a twist. Fascinating, indeed.

"Boss, we should isolate these two. We've waited years; we can't wait forever. Now that we've got two aces up our sleeve, let me handle the next steps."

Colton frowned. He trusted Kenzo, but handing over the future of the organization so soon felt risky.

"Father, let him do it," Irene said with a smile. "Kenzo promised he'd never betray me."

Even if his heart was elsewhere, his current aim wasn't to be with that person but to destroy them. Their goals were perfectly aligned.

Love turning to hate, love turning to fear. Such is the way of the world.
