Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 275

Back in her hospital room, Brielle slipped back into a restless slumber, oblivious to the chaos that was unravelling within the Haywood household.

Since the afternoon, their remaining partners had followed suit in terminating contracts, and the news was getting harder to contain by the minute. The Haywood residence was ablaze with lights: sleep was the last thing on anyone’s mind.

Robert ran his fingers through his hair in sheer panic. Decorum was the least of his worries now. As dawn broke, the media would be like sharks to blood, and the Haywood stock would plummet.

Those in the know were aware of who was targeting them, and no one dared to invest at such a crucial time. The Haywoods were on the brink of ruin, and everyone could feel it. Not even a gasp for air seemed possible.

With his chest trembling in anxiety, Robert turned to Cameron. “Have you gotten in touch with Brielle? We’re running out of time. Send more people to find her. She must beg Max for mercy.” Miranda, sitting between the two men, wore an even grimmer expression. Recalling the day’s events, her lips tightened. “Brielle should be in the hospital.”

Robert looked at her, surprised. “How do you know?”

Twisting her hands nervously, Miranda recounted the day’s events. As she finished, Robert’s anger erupted, and he struck her across the face.

Miranda’s head jerked to the side. She touched her cheek in disbelief, the twisted anger on Robert’s face silencing her.
