Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 987

Chase stood a short distance away, watching Brielle mutter into her phone with caution. He couldn't make out the words and didn't care enough to probe, so he just stood there waiting for her.

Brielle's call dragged on for a whole ten minutes.

In Chase's world, nobody had ever made him wait that long.

Bored, he plopped down nearby, snatched up his phone, and shot a text to Dustin.

"Yo, you there?"

"Hey, man, when do you think I'll be able to win over Keiran?"

"Hello? You ghosting me?"

Feeling a bit daring, Chase sent a $100 bribe through a text message, which was instantly accepted on the other end.

His fingers trembled with annoyance.

"Just a hundred bucks? You sell out so cheap?!"

Dustin finally replied. "What's up?"

"I'm taking your sister to the casino. Didn't you want me to dig up some dirt on this King guy? It's freaky; the dude seems to have popped out of thin air, and he's super cautious. The only lead is that he seems really interested in your sister, so I brought her here. No guts, no glory, right?" "Don't mess this up."

"Trust me, my bodyguards went ahead. They're keeping a close eye on Brielle. Even if I screw up, she'll be fine."

"Be smart."
