Kiley turned her head in shock, watching Maxim walk straight towards Briana, a flicker of guilt flashing in his eyes.

She had just seen Maxim talking business with Zane in the study, which gave her the courage to bother Briana. She didn't expect Maxim to come out so quickly.

Thinking of this, a wave of fear surged in her heart. Would Maxim hold her accountable for Briana?

However, Maxim didn't even glance at her, he went straight to Briana's side.

"Were you okay?"

Briana shook her head nonchalantly, "It's okay, don't worry about it, I'll handle it myself."

"Um, I'm right here, I'd like to see who dares to touch you."

Seeing the gentle way Maxim spoke to Briana, everyone could hardly believe their own eyes. Wasn't it said that Maxim liked Kiley before?!

Moreover, the amount of information in what Briana just said was too much, wasn't it!

The Schneider family didn't disclose the fact that they found Briana to donate bone marrow to Kiley, so hardly anyone knew that Briana had donated bone marrow to Kiley.

"If Briana really did donate her bone marrow to Kiley, wouldn't it be fair to say she was Kiley's lifesaver?"

"Hehehe, I finally understand, the Schneider family is simply shameless! They lost a daughter for over a decade and never looked for her. When they finally decided to, it was only to have her match Kiley's type. They even treated them differently afterwards, they never considered Briana as a child of the Schneider family. If I were Briana, I would be absolutely furious!"

"Kiley had the nerve to say that Briana was competing with her for their parents' affection. She has monopolized their love for so many years, and Briana even donated bone marrow to her. Doesn't she deserve some of their parents' love?!"

***

The cacophony of voices and the contemptuous gazes directed at her almost drowned Kiley.

A tremendous sense of shame welled up from within her, making her wish she could immediately find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

That bitch Briana, I can't believe she dared to spill the beans about this!

Briana looked at Kiley, who was hanging her head, with an indifferent expression, a hint of cold mockery flashing in her eyes.

Since she had opened this topic, she didn't plan to let it go for the day.

Over twenty years ago, I wasn't lost by the servant of the Schneider family, but was abandoned by Mr. and Mrs. Schneider at the doorstep of an orphanage. Their purpose of finding me back, from beginning to end, was only to match Kiley.

"If I hadn't looked so much like Kiley, maybe they wouldn't have claimed to be my parents. Instead, they might have forced me to donate bone marrow to Kiley and then sent me away!"

As the words fell, everyone wore a face of shock, unable to believe that the Schneider family could actually do such a thing.

Things had escalated to this point, Zane and Mallory couldn't ignore it any longer.

Upon receiving the news, Zane immediately called for Mallory to hurry over, his face full of anger.

Mallory was so furious that she almost lost her mind, rushing forward to hit Briana, but was scared off by Maxim's cold gaze.

"Mrs. Schneider, if you dared to harm a hair on her head, the Schneider Group would go bankrupt before the sun rose tomorrow."

Maxim's voice was not loud, but it was full of threat.

Mallory didn't dare to approach anymore, but her gaze at Briana still seemed as if she wanted to devour her.

"Briana, this is our family matter, and you actually mentioned it in front of the guests, aren't you ashamed enough?!"

Briana looked at her calmly, her eyes full of coldness.
