Briana coldly looked at him, without a trace of warmth in her eyes.

"So, did you find someone to track me? What did you find out? Did you see me kissing the other person, or did you see me going to a hotel room with them?"

Maxim frowned and was about to speak, but Briana turned around and left directly.

The two of them fell into a cold war, even Austin and the maid noticed.

The maid pulled Briana aside and whispered, "Ms. Schneider, did you have an argument with Mr. Yoder?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Yoder seemed to be in a bad mood recently."

Briana remained silent for a few seconds and then spoke, "Maybe there were just too many things going on in the company. Don't worry about him, it will be fine in a while."

"Okay."

After the maid left, Briana waited for Maxim to come back and have dinner on the sofa.

Around seven o'clock, Rayan called and said that Maxim was going to a banquet and would not be coming back to the villa for dinner tonight.

Briana hung up the phone and didn't feel like cooking, so she ate something casually, watched a TV show for a while, and then went back to her room to sleep.

At the dinner party, Maxim would ask Rayan to give him his phone every half an hour.

At first, Rayan thought that Maxim was waiting for an important client's phone call. Around ten o'clock, Maxim looked at his phone again and then frowned at him, saying, "What did you say to Briana?"

Rayan paused for a moment and instinctively said, "Just tell Ms. Schneider that you won't be coming back for dinner."

"Did she have no reaction?"

"Ms. Schneider said she knew."

Maxim's face darkened, "She didn't ask me when I would go back?"

"No."

Maxim remained silent and then turned around to have another drink.

On ordinary days, no one dared to persuade Maxim to drink at banquets. However, tonight he is accepting all offers and has already consumed no less than ten glasses.

His body had just recovered, and Rayan was worried that drinking like this would harm his health, so he whispered a few words of advice in his ear.

"Mr. Yoder, you could not drink anymore."

Maxim gave him a cold glance and said, "Give Briana a call and ask her to come pick me up."

In the blink of an eye, Rayan realized that before Maxim looked at his phone, he wasn't waiting for a client's call, but for Briana's call.

He quickly dialed Briana's phone number, however, the call was disconnected and there was no answer on the other end.

"Mr. Yoder, did not answer."

"Keep fighting!"

Maxim's face grew darker and darker as he dialed four or five numbers in a row without getting through.

Just as Rayan was about to continue dialing, Maxim coldly said, "No need to dial anymore, take me back!"

Returning to the villa, it was already past eleven o'clock at night.

Rayan left after he brought Maxim into the villa. Maxim had a cold expression and glided past the wheelchair into the bedroom.

Maxim couldn't help but feel a surge of anger when he turned on the bedroom light and saw Briana sleeping soundly on the floor.

These days, I was giving her the silent treatment. He was constantly irritated every day, while she, on the other hand, was eating well and sleeping soundly, completely disregarding me!

"Briana! Wake up!"

Maxim shouted four or five times before waking Briana up.

Half asleep, Briana noticed a figure not far away and instantly woke up from her drowsiness.

After realizing it was Maxim, she couldn't help but frown and sat up, looking at him and asking, "Why are you staring at me in the middle of the night?!"

"Why didn't you answer when I asked Rayan to call you?"

Briana picked up the phone next to her and checked it. Sure enough, there were five or six missed calls.

She was speechless. He woke himself up just for this?!

"Excuse me, how am I supposed to answer if I was asleep?"

"Afterwards, when I attended the dinner party, you were not allowed to sleep until I came back!"
