Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 462

With Max’s ordeal behind them and having dealt with Ryan’s mess, it seemed only natural that Brielle would be the next thorn to remove from the Dorsey family’s side. This woman had caused nothing but pain for them.

A sly grin flickered across William’s eyes, thinking about how Michael was shielding Max. He just had to wait until Max woke up and found out what happened to Brielle. It would surely lead to a confrontation with Michael, and the bond between father and son would suffer.

“The doctors are still working on him. He took a nasty hit to the head, but his life isn’t in danger.”

Michael let out a sigh of relief and waved dismissively. “Mobilize all of the Dorsey family’s resources. Ensure that Brielle spends the rest of her life behind bars, with no visitors allowed. Strip her of her position at Dorsey International. Once Spencer is up, he can take over. I don’t want that woman anywhere near him again.”

William couldn’t resist fanning the flames a bit more. “Dad, it seems Spencer hasn’t quite given up on Brielle. If he makes another misstep after this, he might not be so lucky. You saw how ruthless she was this time.”
