Chapter 10
Briana said with a detached expression, “She’s done everything, whether it’s something a wife should or shouldn’t do. All you two need is a marriage certificate.”
Maxim stared hard at her face, looking for the slightest hint of sadness, but he could not find it. She really didn’t care anymore.
For some reason, a tinge of pain crept into Maxim’s heart.
He looked away and said coldly, “As long as we are married, you are obligated to take care of me!”
Briana was a bit irritated, and she didn’t bother to waste her time on Maxim. She took out her phone, unblocked Kiley, and sent over some words.
Kiley was in the Schneider’s place.
She had already showered and was getting ready for bed, and when she heard Briana’s words, she was furious. Her face turned livid.
She thought, “You bitch, Briana!”
She quickly got up to change her clothes and went downstairs just in time to bump into Zane and Mallory coming back from a party. Seeing that she was going out, they could not help but frown.
“It’s late alright. Where are you going, Kiley?”
Kiley forced a smile and looked at Mallory, saying, “Mom, Maxim drank a lot, and now he’s home alone. I’m worried, so I want to go over and check on him.”
Mallory glanced at Zane and saw no expression on his face. Then she smiled and said to Kiley, “It’s too late now. It’s not safe for you to drive by yourself. I’ll ask Evan to give you a ride.”
Evan Robeson was the family’s driver. Kiley said, “OK. Thanks, Mom.”
After Kiley left, Mallory thought and said, “It seems that Maxim has feelings for Kiley after all, or he wouldn’t have bothered to tell Kiley that he was drinking.”
Zane nodded. “Tell Kiley to grasp the chance. Fortunately, not many people know about the marriage between Briana and Maxim. We can easily find her another husband in the future.”
For Zane, it didn’t matter whether Briana or Kiley was Maxim’s wife. He only cared about his company’s profits.
Once Briana divorced Maxim, he would find her another husband who could bring benefits to the Schneider family.
Neither Maxim nor Briana said anything on their way back. When they arrived at the villa and saw the light on inside, Maxim involuntarily frowned.
Except for him and Briana, basically, no one would be here, especially at this time of night.
“You were back today?”
She said calmly, “You’ll know once you open the door.”
Maxim entered the code, opened the door, and saw a slender figure. His eyes turned cold instantly.
“Briana, what do you mean?”
Kiley had made some soup for Maxim’s hangover and had just put it on the table when she heard Maxim’s voice at the door.
She turned and walked quickly toward the door.
Maxim was outside the door.
He looked at Briana furiously, and his heart sank.
To his surprise, Briana called Kiley here!
He thought, “Does Briana have any idea what this means?”
Briana deadpanned and said, “Didn’t you say you were drunk? So, I got the woman you’ve missed so much here to take care of you. You should be thanking me.”
“Say that again!”
Seeing the shocking look on Maxim’s face, Briana didn’t bother to continue to brush him off. She said coldly, “I have called her here, and I will get out of your hair instead of intruding. Just sign the divorce papers and mail them to me.”
She turned around and left quickly, without any sign of nostalgia.
