Chapter 148
Briana shook her head, “I went straight to pick up the diamond bracelet after work and came over. Mr. Yoder might still be working overtime.”
At the mention, a trace of disappointment flashed in Norma’s eyes. She had thought that during the time Maxim was recovering from the car accident, their relationship would have improved while living together. Now it seemed that things were still the same as before, with no
progress.
“I had to work overtime on my birthday. When he comes later, you must talk to him properly!”
Briana smiled and replied to Norma’s words, “Okay!”
Kiley, who was standing aside, saw how Norma treated Briana so well, but was extremely cold and indifferent towards herself. She felt both jealous and angry in her heart.
If it weren’t for Maxim being raised by Norma since childhood, he would only listen to Norma, and she wouldn’t have to go to such lengths to please this old hag!
“Kiley… Kiley… why did you suddenly stop talking?”
Kendra’s voice brought Kiley back to reality, and she quickly snapped out of it and looked at the other person.
“Kendra, I’m sorry, I got a little distracted just now, maybe because I’ve been a bit tired lately.”

and I really appreciate your hard work. If only Briana had half of your understanding.”
Kiley’s hand involuntarily tightened, and she had no desire to be understanding.
But if she didn’t behave well, she might not have the qualification to sit here today.
Kiley gave a shy smile and said slowly, “Kendra, I’m glad I can help you. I have always enjoyed being with you and learning a lot from you.”
Kendra nodded, “Don’t worry, I have seen all the efforts you have made, and you are the only daughter–in–law I have recognized!”
Kiley’s face showed fear, “Kendra, don’t say that. Briana has already married Maxim, and I dare not have any thoughts about it.”
Kendra held her hand and whispered, “I will help you.”
She leaned in to Kiley’s ear and said something, and Kiley’s face immediately turned red.
Briana walked around the banquet hall and felt bored, so she went to the backyard and decided to spend some time alone in the pavilion.
Just as I reached the entrance of the backyard, I heard a burst of discussion coming from inside.
“Norma’s birthday party was really lively tonight, but unfortunately Mr. Yoder didn’t come. I hope it’s not because he’s disabled and afraid to -come.”
“I guess it’s also because I’m afraid of being laughed at. After all, I used to be the pride of the heavens, but now I am partially paralyzed and will never have a chance to stand up again. I guess it won’t be long
