Master of his heart ( Brielle And Max ) novel Chapter 937

He really knows how to play his cards right.

Antonio's brooding face showed no hint of emotion as he nodded, signaling he'd handle it. William pulled out a tin of tea leaves from his desk drawer.

"This was meant for Max. Your grandpa loves his tea. Have his caregiver brew this special blend, and in a month, he’ll be gone."

William's voice trembled with excitement. Antonio took the tin, a flicker of understanding in his eyes. "Got it, Dad."

"Your grandpa sees you the most; you're in the perfect position to act, Ashton. Once Dorsey International is firmly in our hands, no one will threaten us again. And as for Stellar Stage Entertainment, making all that noise, we'll just buy them out once we have enough talent."

Antonio kept a respectful facade as he held the tea and left. Outside the Dorsey International building, he sneered at the tin before splitting a portion of the leaves to give to William's attendant.

William was the real failure, running Dorsey International into the ground so quickly. But no matter, once William and Michael were out of the way, Antonio planned to restore the company to its former glory under his leadership.

As for Max, without his medicine, how long could he last?

Antonio’s plan to kidnap Tiffanie the night before was just to show loyalty to the old man. If it had worked, his standing with Grandpa would have soared. If it failed, the old man would resent Max for meddling, leaving Antonio clean.

After all, it was Max who was sent to rescue Tiffanie, not Antonio.

Michael and William thought of him as an easy target, never imagining he had his own agenda. He had long arranged for Alivia to go abroad. Now, Alivia had the Dorsey matriarch, Desiree, wrapped around her finger, almost like a granddaughter.

So, when he took over the Dorsey family, even if it was in ruins, he could use Alivia to pull resources from the Lynch family and bring the Dorsey family back to life.

Then, he’d be the CEO, and Michael and William would just be obstacles out of his way.

Antonio didn’t regret his alliance with the mysterious benefactor. Without his help, he’d never have gotten close to the Lynch family.

The benefactor wanted to deal with Max and change the leadership at Dorsey International. Their goals lined up perfectly, which was great for Antonio.

Though the benefactor wore a mask, hiding his face, he seemed to have a particular disdain for Max, always looking for ways to eliminate him. This was good news for Antonio.
