Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 194

Brielle knew he was angry, so she quickly fastened her seatbelt securely. “It’s the pain talking. nonsense, that’s all.”

Max had a bit of booze tonight, a subtle scent of whiskey lingering about him, and after Dustin got under his skin, he felt the rush of blood making the buzz hit harder. At her words, he just arched an eyebrow slightly.

Gripping the steering wheel Brielle wanted to say something more, to sort of patch things up, but then Max’s phone started to ring. He didn’t respond, closing his eyes with a cold and indifferent expression.

“Mr. Dorsey, your phone’s ringing.” Brielle reminded, breaking the icy silence.

Max’s eyelashes fluttered as he took out his phone and pressed the answer button.

Brielle couldn’t make out what was said on the other end, but Max’s face turned to stone, and the air seemed to freeze over even more. She felt like she might get frostbite, her lips involuntarily starting to quiver.

She heard Max let out a sardonic chuckle. “He can’t sit still, can he?” The sarcasm was thick in

his voice.

Just as Brielle was about to take a turn, she saw him end the call, his voice cold as ice. “Forget Premier Palace. Head to the hotel.”

Brielle was taken aback, unclear about what had just happened, but then she heard herself ask, “You went to the police station?”
