Master of his heart ( Brielle And Max ) novel Chapter 1163

Irene's ruthlessness and cold-heartedness were the talk of the town. In comparison, Prince Arthur, often gracing the covers of newspapers and magazines, seemed to have little more than a stellar reputation.

Dustin had no reason to doubt Arthur's words. Power struggles are universal; they happen everywhere. The same was true for Beaconsfield, where internal feuds within elite circles were far more intense than the average person could imagine. And in North America, a land where capital reigns supreme, the battles were even fiercer.

If they were to launch an attack on the organization now, who among Irene's supporters would rise to her defense?

Dustin set his laptop aside and stood up. "Does Irene have any weaknesses?" he asked.

Arthur's face twisted in discomfort, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly. "She's been groomed from a young age under strict control to be the heir of the organization. She even killed her own lover with her bare hands, not mercifully, but through actual torture. Her ruthlessness is unmatched. She has nothing she cares for, except perhaps the organization itself."

This was a person who had given everything to the organization, unlikely to be swayed by anything else.

"Look, I know you have your reservations about the royal family, but please give me another chance. I'm ready to sign a deal with you right now. To be honest, I'm not too fond of my sister either. She poses a great threat to me, capable of acting independently from the royal family's wishes. I have my own ambitions. I wish to be the one who inherits the throne, and I want her gone. If you work with me, I promise that the royal family will never be an enemy of the Lynch family. Whatever you've lost, we'll compensate in other ways."

Prince Arthur's proposal was straightforward. Attacking the organization head-on would only lead to mutual destruction, especially with other royal members likely to aid Irene's escape. But Arthur himself wanted his sister out of the picture, to claim the throne for himself. So, the plan was to first eliminate those royal members, making a direct assault on the base much less daunting without worrying about royal interference.
