Chapter 399
Detecting the mockery in Briana’s tone, Kiley bit her lower lip hard. If it weren’t for Maxim’s current fondness for Briana, and Zane’s desire to please Maxim, she definitely wouldn’t have made this trip today!
Seeing Briana about to leave, Kiley’s tone finally cooled down, “You’re so heartless now, aren’t you afraid you’ll regret it in the future?”
Briana gave a slight smile, “Whether I regret it or not is my business, mind your own.”
After speaking, Briana turned to Maxim and said, “I’m a bit tired, I’ll go back to my room to rest first.”
“Mm–hmm.”
After Briana left, the entire living room suddenly became quiet.
Kiley’s hand, hanging by her side, unconsciously tightened, her heart filled with anger.
“Haven’t left yet?”
Maxim’s cold voice echoed from behind, and Kiley’s heart sank along with it.
She stood up, and said word by word, “Maxim, don’t forget, you still owe me one last wish.”
Maxim looked at her coldly, “You want to use it now?”
A struggle flashed in Kiley’s eyes, but in the end, she lowered her gaze and said, “No, I will figure out a way to solve my family’s problems
myself.”
Maxim didn’t speak again, just looked at her expressionlessly, his intention for her to leave was unspoken but clear.
Kiley took a deep breath, stood up, and left directly.
Back at the Schneider family, Mallory was still sitting on the couch crying, just as she had been when she left.
Kiley was somewhat annoyed. The recent events at the company had already exhausted her, and now there was Zane’s infidelity and his impending divorce with Mallory, which left her at her wits‘ end.
Kiley stood at the door for a while, and only after calming her emotions did she go and sit next to Mallory.
“Mom, stop crying, it’s no use crying now. The most important thing is to find a way to change Dad’s mind.”
“Didn’t you just go to see Briana? What did she say?”
Kiley’s eyes flickered as she whispered, “Sister said that the matter of the Schneider family had nothing to do with her at all.”
A look of realization instantly crossed Mallory’s face, she gritted her teeth and said, “I knew that heartless bastard wouldn’t care about me!”
“Enough, stop talking about this. I’ve already had the lawyer
