Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1096

"Get up."

King's words were soft, almost a whisper.

Joseph rose from the ground, handing back the dagger with a respectful gesture.

"Sir, do I need to deal with Myles?"

A chuckle escaped King, though it didn't quite reach his eyes. "If he's smart, he'd have run off by now. Those folks might have gotten to him. Myles has been by my side long enough to be of use to them." "Sir, I still want to check on him."

A flash of determination crossed Joseph's eyes. If Myles had indeed betrayed them, he felt partly responsible. It was he who had entrusted Myles with the task, giving him the opportunity.

"I'll take the punishment myself."

King had stood up by then, his gaze fixed on the woman doctor in front of him.
