Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 364

Sarah felt her heart pounding as if it were on the verge of bursting. She glanced at the figure following her into the car and then heard the definitive “click” of the doors locking. She didn’t find it strange for a moment but looked up expectantly. “Mr. William, has Brielle crossed you too?”

There was a slight smile at the corner of William’s mouth as he reached for a handkerchief. “Hmm.”

A sparkle lit up in Sarah’s eyes, and just as she was about to say something more, the handkerchief came down swiftly, smothering her mouth and nose. Her eyes widened in shock, and she tried to struggle, but the pungent odor overwhelmed her senses, and her head felt heavy in an instant. Her attempts to fight back grew weaker by the second.

William released his grip, his expression one of distaste.

He took out Sarah’s phone, unlocking it with her fingerprint. Several group chats in Sarah’s WhatsApp were buzzing with activity.
