Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 967

At this point, the idea of begging Max for help was a joke. The Dorsey family had never stooped so low.

No wonder they had grown too reliant on Max over the years.

Antonio took a deep breath, a cold smirk forming on his lips. "I have my own plans."

Michael couldn't help but chuckle. "Plans? Collaborating with your so-called partner-have you ever wondered why he'd just hand over Dorsey International to you? Sure, it might not be what it once was, but even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. What's he getting out of this, if not for some twisted charity, leaving cold hard cash on the table?"

Straight to the heart of it.

Michael, a veteran in the business world, had sensed that this so-called partner was anything but friendly towards the Dorsey family.

Antonio was merely a sword in the man's hand, and a sharp one at that.

If this shadowy figure were to take down the Dorsey family directly, it would be fair play. But using Antonio to exact revenge was more than a loss of the company-it was a wound deeper than any blade, a pain a hundred times worse.

Look at William, who couldn't rest even in death.

What a farce it was, this decaying estate on the brink of its final frenzy.

Yet Antonio, ever the dreamer awaiting a windfall, was the perfect pawn for manipulation.
