Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 968

The guy in front of him didn't dare say a word, hardly even breathed, keeping his eyes glued to the floor. King was lazily toying with the tiny goldfish in the bowl, fascinated as he sprinkled some fish food into the water.

"King," the man next to him began, treading lightly, "there's just one misunderstanding between Max and Brielle. Her pregnancy is the key. If you really want to win over Ms. Brielle, start there. Arrange to get rid of her baby and make it look like Max's fault." King's fingers froze, his smirk flattening into a hard line.

The speaker, oblivious to his misstep, kept going. "That woman's been so reckless, sticking with Max all this time and even getting pregnant. She should consider herself lucky you're interested in her."

Before his words fully settled, the cold barrel of a gun pressed against his head.

"Bang."

From loading to firing, it took all of two seconds.

The dead guy probably never imagined his life would end like this. But everyone around was used to such scenes. Some stepped forward to drag the body away, others bowed their heads, mechanically mopping up the blood splattered across the floor. "Annoying," King muttered, sliding the fish food container back onto the table.

The air hung heavy with the scent of fresh blood. King licked his lips and turned to the person beside him. "Do you think he deserved it?"

"Absolutely. He didn't get you. Even Max wouldn't do something like that, and you'd be even less likely to."

Brielle's baby was never going to make it. The doctors had said so long ago. Even if Brielle wanted to be a self-sacrificing mother, it wouldn't change the outcome.
