Fall for You After Divorce novel (Brianna and Maxim) novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16

Rayan hung his head, a clear expression of guilt on his face. “Mr. Yoder, we’re still in the process of investigating. After Ms. Schneider left the villa, she vanished from the surveillance cameras, making it quite challenging to locate her. We’re still working on pinpointing her exact whereabouts.”

“Keep investigating!”

After Rayan left, Maxim became more and more irritable. He couldn’t concentrate on the documents in his hand.

At night, when Briana returned to the villa in the north of the city, it had been past midnight.

Briana barely prompted herself to open the door. As soon as she walked in, she lost all her energy and fell straight to the ground.

Suddenly, an arm supported her waist. Briana wanted to open her eyes to see who helped her, but her eyelids felt so heavy.

One second before she completely lost consciousness, Briana thought she had heard a sigh.

Waking up again, Briana found that her wound had been bandaged. She managed to sit up, put on pajamas, and slowly walked out.

As soon as she walked downstairs, Briana broke out in sweat.

She heard something from the kitchen. When she was about to walk over, she saw Hector coming out of the kitchen with a bowl of chicken soup.

When Hector saw Briana, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He quickly put down the soup in his hand and walked to Briana to support her.

“The doctor said you need to rest…”

Before Hector finished speaking, a dagger was pressed against his neck.

“Why are you here?”

Briana’s voice was cold, not as gentle as before.

She had told Hector last time not to come again. It couldn’t be a coincidence that he appeared here right after she was injured last night.

Hector was stunned for a moment. He looked at her and said, “I left my script here. When I came to get it, I saw you fall down. I went to support you and found that you were injured, so I called a doctor to help you bandage the wound.”

Seeing that Briana wasn’t touched, Hector said somewhat helplessly, “If I really want to harm you, do you think you can survive now?”

After being silent for a while, Briana finally put down the dagger in her hand. She looked at Hector and said, “Sorry, I misunderstood you just now.”

Hector smiled. “It’s okay. Don’t worry. I won’t ask anything. The doctor will also keep his mouth shut.”

“Alright.”

Seeing that Briana finally let go of her guard, Hector handed the soup to her and said, “Drink some soup. You have lost a lot of blood and need some nutrition.”

“Thank you.”

When Briana lowered her head to drink the soup, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Hector walked to the door and saw Maxim outside the door. Hector blinked and opened the door directly.

“Mr. Yoder, Briana is…”

Maxim suddenly pushed Hector aside and walked in.

Briana was sitting at the dining table in pajamas and drinking soup. Seeing this, Maxim looked at her coldly, “Briana, you’ve been with the gigolo all these days when you’re missing?”

Before Briana could speak, Hector hurriedly said, “Mr. Yoder, don’t get me wrong. Briana…”

Hector was interrupted coldly by Maxim. “Did I talk to you? Is Briana dumb and needs you to speak for her?”

Hector’s face turned a bit embarrassed. He frowned and said, “You are Briana’s husband, but you don’t know…”

“Hector!”

Briana took a deep breath, looked at Hector calmly, and said, “Thank you for taking care of me. Please go back. I will treat you to dinner another day.”

A trace of disappointment flashed in Hector’s eyes. He nodded and said, “Okay. Have a good rest.”

After taking the script, Hector left.
