Chapter 441
Hector handed him the script, calmly saying, “I didn’t save her to blackmail her into reciprocating my feelings.”
The agent rolled his eyes and sneered, “Just keep making your silent sacrifices. If you can catch up with me, I’ll acknowledge you as my
brother!”
After speaking, the agent left in a huff with the script in hand.
Briana returned home and spent an afternoon adjusting the recent design drafts that Pamela had submitted. Only after sending them to Pamela’s mailbox did she go downstairs to make a cup of coffee.
Just after taking two sips, Melody’s call came through.
“Briana, my uncle was taken away by the police.”
Her voice was low, devoid of any discernible emotion.
Briana took a sip of her coffee, speaking in a nonchalant tone, “In private, you are family, but at MY Corporation, you are just colleagues. Moreover, his actions have already crossed the legal line. Any consequences are his own doing.”
After a while, Melody’s voice finally came through.
“I knew, but I still felt upset.”
No matter how bad Owen was, he was still her second uncle after all.
She had personally sent Mark in before, and now she had to send Owen in, she could never manage to keep her emotions in check.

All the relatives at home said she was heartless and ungrateful. Ever since Owen was taken away, her phone had been almost blown up, mostly with calls cursing her.
She even started to feel confused. It was Mark and Owen who did something wrong, so why were they not the ones being scolded, but instead, it was her.
Briana was silent for a moment, then slowly said, “If you can’t get over this mentally, I can ask the judge to see if he can give a lighter sentence.”
“No need, I’ll get over my discomfort after a while. But he violated the company’s interests, he should receive the punishment he deserves.”
Briana comforted her for a while, and after hanging up the phone, she couldn’t help but think of Isaac.
On the day Isaac was sentenced, the Yoder family would probably feel as distressed as Melody did then.
She had never received any kindness from any member of the Schneider family due to blood ties, so she couldn’t empathize with Melody and the Yoder family.
She had only experienced the kindness of her foster parents and brothers, as well as some other people with no blood relation to her Therefore, in her world, she would be kind to anyone who was kind to her. As for the blood–is–thicker–than–water kind of kinship, it was not important to her.
While lost in thought, the doorbell suddenly rang.
She got up and walked to the door, seeing it was Maxim, she couldn’t help but frown.
“How did you come?”

Maxim, holding a lunch box, looked at her and said, “I didn’t want to eat alone, so I came over.”
There were eight dishes and one soup conspicuously placed on the dining table, which would have been enough even for five or six people to eat.
