Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1010

"Bro, I'll get through this."

Brielle had regained her strength, her face glowing with determination.

"Until I uncover the truth, I won't let myself fall apart again. Plus, Max left me a number; he probably has some secret connections."

Brielle was genuinely bouncing back. She knew she had to dive into the investigation without delay. The Lynch family had showered her with so much care; it was time she took on some responsibilities.

Her brother had been searching for her for years, pulling every string he could. Now that she was back, she couldn't be a burden any longer. The weight shouldn't just fall on his shoulders. After all, she was Brielle.

Dustin watched her transformation, a satisfied smile creeping onto his face.

"Get some good sleep tonight. Aubree and Keiran might stick around for a couple more days before they leave. Maybe you can catch up with friends. Your recent state had us all worried, especially Aubree. She was practically whispering on the phone." Brielle lowered her lashes. "I understand."

She headed upstairs to rest.

Dustin watched her ascend, his heart finally settling down.
