Seeing that she couldn’t push him away, Briana frowned and said, “If you don’t let go of me, I’ll really get angry!”
Seeing her face turn red to the roots of her ears, Maxim also realized that she was truly shy and didn’t force her anymore.
As soon as she let go, Briana slipped out of bed, put on his slippers, covered her face and sneaked away, without even saying hello to Brycen and the others.
After only a few people were left in the ward, Brycen said with a smile, “Originally, I came to see you after hearing about your injury. But seeing you like this now, it seems we didn’t need to come.”
Maxim’s expression was indifferent, “Hmm, you can leave now.”
Brycen was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and scolded, “Well, you’ve learned to forget your principles at the sight of beauty now.”
Tyrone, who had been silent since he came in, suddenly spoke up, “Maxim, have you made up with Briana?”
“Mm–hmm.”
He looked at Tyrone, a hint of coldness unconsciously creeping into his eyes.
Tyrone felt a pang in his heart and lowered his gaze, no longer speaking.
He originally thought he had a chance, but it turned out to be just a

joke that fate played on him.
Sensing something off in the atmosphere between the two, Brycen raised an eyebrow.
“Since Maxim was fine, let’s go back first.”
After a few people left, Maxim took out his phone and dialed Rayan’s number.
“Go check, who was Mark acting under the orders of!”

The lawyer quickly arranged a meeting between Owen and Mark. When Mark saw Owen, there was not the slightest flicker in his eyes.
When he saw the dynamite explode, he knew that Owen didn’t consider him a brother at all.
However, remembering that Owen had previously paid off his debts, he didn’t turn Owen in, otherwise, he would have no one to help him outside. Melody, that ungrateful wretch, would definitely not care about his life or death.
“Owen, you finally arrived, I’ve been waiting for you.”
The two had a chat and reached a consensus. Owen would try to save Mark from the outside, while Mark could not turn him in
When leaving the police station, Owen finally let his hanging heart down. As long as Mark didn’t betray him, there was still room for
maneuver.
He called Melody and said coldly, “Melody, I just met with your father. Come to my house, I have something to tell you.”

Soon, Melody arrived.
“Uncle, what were you looking for me for?”
“You sit first.”
Owen wore a look of earnest concern, sighed and said, “Melody, I know your dad has been down and out since his company went bankrupt, and he’s done a lot of terrible things, but he’s still your dad after all.”
There was no warmth in Melody’s eyes. “Uncle, what exactly are you trying to say? Just say it directly, no need to beat around the bush.”
“I heard about the incident your father caused at MY Corporation before, but fortunately, no one was killed.”
“You had a good relationship with Ms. Schneider, why don’t you go plead with her on behalf of your father? Ask her to spare him. After all, he’s already in his fifties. If he goes to jail, he might not even live
to see the day he gets out.”
After listening, Melody let out a cold laugh.
“You really overestimate me. Ms. Schneider and Mr. Yoder were almost killed, and you want me to plead for mercy? I’m not that shameless!”
Seeing Melody getting up to leave, Owen hurriedly said, “Melody, do you really not care about your father’s life or death?!”
Melody’s expression was icy cold as she spoke deliberately, “From the -day he started drinking, abusing my mom and me, and going out to borrow money for gambling, he ceased to be my father”
If Mark hadn’t been gambling all day, losing and then drinking and hitting his mother, she wouldn’t have been driven to commit suicide by

jumping off a building.
When Mark went to MY Corporation with explosives, threatening Briana’s life to give him all the money, Melody lost the last bit of affection for him.
“No matter what, he was still your dad!”
Melody didn’t say anything else, she turned around and left directly.
Watching her retreating figure, a shadow of gloom flashed across Owen’s face as he pulled out the tape recorder from under the table.
He didn’t want to save Mark. After all, if he did, Mark would just gamble the money away. It might be better for him to be locked up in jail, at least he could have a few peaceful years. However, he couldn’t be the bad guy.
As far as Mark knew, if no one else would care about him except himself, he would definitely not dare to speak out about those things.
