As soon as Riley heard the word “alarm,” her face turned pale instantly Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“No! Don’t call the police!”
If she entered the police station, her whole life would be ruined!
Briana sneered, “When you held the dagger to harm me, you should have thought about this consequence.”
Riley shook his head quickly, “No, please, spare me. It was just a momentary impulse, and besides, you weren’t hurt, right?!”
“Do I still have to thank you because you didn’t hurt me?”
“I really knew I was wrong… but I was also being used by someone. After I got fired, as soon as I arrived downstairs of the CharmDress, a man on a motorcycle handed me a USB drive.”
I saw the video in the USB drive and knew that it was you going to find Sophie. That’s why I impulsively bought a knife and came over. I regret it now. Please, I beg you, spare me. I am the only daughter in my family. If my parents find out that I have been caught, they won’t be able to live anymore!”
Briana showed no sympathy in her eyes and coldly said, “A person must take responsibility for the mistakes they have made, and not only for intentionally hurting others, but also for intentionally entering MY Corporation to frame the company for plagiarism. The legal department has already been in contact with the court, and you cannot escape.”
At the words, Riley’s face turned pale inch by inch. After a few
seconds, she suddenly burst into laughter.
“Briana, you have caused me so much misery, I will not let you get away with it!”
Briana looked at her with indifference and said, “It wasn’t me who harmed you, it was yourself.”
Riley glared at her angrily, “Don’t let me see you again! You ruined my life, and I’m going to ruin yours too!”
Maxim spoke in a cold voice, “I won’t give you this opportunity.”
Riley turned to look at Maxim and only then realized that he was the president of the Yoder Group.
How could the President of the Yoder Group know Briana?!
However, her confusion was destined to remain unanswered as Maxim’s bodyguard had already taken her away.
Briana walked up to Maxim and was about to say thank you when her gaze suddenly swept to the wound on his arm, and she quickly grabbed his wrist.
“You got hurt!”
Maxim glanced down and saw that the wound was not deep, but blood was still oozing out.
“It’s nothing.”
“You wait here for me. There is a pharmacy nearby, I will go buy some gauze and disinfectant!”
Watching Briana turn around and quickly walk away, Maxim wanted to call out to her, but hesitated for a moment and silently watched her
leave.
Soon, Briana ran back.
Because of running, her breath was a little rapid, and her usually fair cheeks now revealed a faint pink color, so beautiful that one couldn’t bear to look away.
“Raise your hand, I will disinfect it for you first.”
Maxim raised his hand, and the wound had already begun to heal.
Briana first cleaned the bloodstains around his wound with an alcohol swab, whispering softly, “It might hurt a little, but bear with it.”
Maxim didn’t speak, his gaze fell on her delicate face. She earnestly disinfected him, her nostrils gently twitching, giving her an inexplicable cuteness.
“Briana…”
“What happened?”
She looked at him with a puzzled expression, and his shadow was reflected in her cool and captivating eyes.
The next second, Maxim suddenly reached out and grabbed her waist.
The tall figure of the man pressed down, until Briana felt the warm touch on her lips, and only then did she react, quickly pushing him
away.
“Snap!”
Briana slapped him, her anger still lingering on her face.
“Maxim, we have already divorced. If you ever engage in such
behavior again, I will definitely sue you for sexual harassment!”
Seeing the anger in her eyes, Maxim pursed his lips and lowered his gaze, saying, “I’m sorry, seeing you, I couldn’t help but be
overwhelmed by emotions.”
