Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1134

He dialed King's number.

King had been faking an illness these past few days, relishing in Brielle's doting care, wishing he could spend his whole life lounging on that sofa. When he saw Dustin's name flash on his phone, his expression darkened immediately. How could this guy dare to call him after the diamond ring fiasco? That issue wasn't even resolved yet.

Dustin had claimed Brielle adored pigeon-egg-sized diamonds, the bigger, the better. Now it was clear he'd been tricked into boosting the Lynch family's earnings. King scoffed, but seeing Brielle by his side, peeling grapes for him, he decided to let it slide. "Hey, Dustin, what do you want?"

"Let's meet up."

"No way. You tricked me last time, and we haven't settled that yet."

"Fine, if you won't come, I'll just drop by and tell Brielle about that trouble she got into in North America five years ago, ending up with a kid."

King froze, his face turning pale. The relaxed posture he had on the sofa vanished, replaced by tension and a menacing look in his eyes. How could Dustin know about that? He'd been so discreet back then. Dustin, hearing the silence, knew he had hit the mark.

Driven by jealousy and the need to control, someone who calls every ten minutes, like Max, couldn't pull this off-but King could. King's gaze flickered toward Brielle. She was offering him a perfectly peeled grape. These past few days, he had been too "sore" to leave the couch or bed, and she hadn't called him out on it, indulging his whims. She was actually quite easy to please.
