A glint of coldness flashed in Maxim’s eyes, then he slowly said, “Pretty good.”
“I also knew that Isaac’s current position at the Yoder Group was awkward, but you two are brothers. I still hoped that you could help him more, after all. he…”
At this point, a hint of sadness flashed in Norma’s eyes. She sighed and didn’t speak anymore.
Maxim’s expression was indifferent, but he still nodded and said, “If he doesn’t do anything outrageous, I won’t treat him unfairly.”
After all, the position of President at the Yoder Group should have been Isaac’s.
But after his uncle had a car accident that year, Isaac immediately went abroad.
After taking over the Yoder Group, Maxim had put in a lot of effort to bring the Yoder Group to its current position. It was clearly impossible for him to just hand it over to someone else.
“Um, after a while, once Isaac had decided to stay in Bridenville, I was going to give him some money to start his own business. You could help him out if you could at that time.”
“Alright, I understood.”
The two stopped at that point and didn’t continue the topic any further.
Maxim still had a few documents to review. After spending some time

with Norma, he went to the study to work.
After everyone else had left the living room, leaving only Norma and Briana, she took Briana’s hand and said softly, “Briana, thank you for giving Maxim a chance.”
She really didn’t want to part with Briana, and thought she was great.
Sometimes, Norma was incredibly envious of Desmond and Lacey. If she had such wonderful granddaughters, wouldn’t she cherish them like the apple of her eye.
It was just that the Schneider family had poor judgment, always thinking Kiley was better than Briana in every way.
“Grandma, even if I was willing to give him a chance, I couldn’t guarantee that we could stay together forever.”
Norma nodded, “I know, if you give up on him again, it must be because he has hurt you. I will absolutely not plead for him.”
A warm current swept through Briana’s heart, “Grandma, thank you!”
“What are you thanking me for? These past few years, I’ve already considered you as my own granddaughter! By the way, do you have any girls around your age nearby?”
“What happened?”
Norma sighed, her voice dropping a few notches, “Isaac is three years older than Maxim, but he still doesn’t have a girlfriend Your ex- mother–in–law couldn’t possibly arrange that for him, this matter has -always been a worry of mine.”
Isaac’s parents had passed away, and once she died, he would truly be alone. Therefore, Norma hoped that he could get married as soon as possible.

Briana pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, “Grandma, I don’t have any girls of that age around me. However, you could host a party and invite the unmarried ladies of Bridenville to attend. Perhaps cousin might meet a girl he fancies.”
“But under what pretext?”
Briana chuckled and said, “Cousin has been away from Bridenville for
so many years, how about throwing him a welcome party?”
Upon hearing this, Norma’s eyes lit up and she nodded, saying, “Briana, you’re so smart! Let’s do it this way!”
After finishing the documents, Maxim returned to the living room, only to find Briana and Norma huddled together, whispering about something he couldn’t discern.
“Grandma, Briana, what were you doing?”
Norma glanced up at him, “It’s none of your business, just mind your own.”
The two discussed for a while longer, and finally, Norma made the final decision, “Alright, this weekend it is!”
No sooner had the words been spoken than the servant came over.
“Dinner was ready.”
“The garden called Isaac back for dinner.”
Soon, the four of them were sitting together eating.
Norma sat in the main seat, with Isaac and Maxim on either side of her, while Briana sat next to Maxim.
Isaac ate his meal in silence, only occasionally responding to Norma’s

words. The rest of the time, he kept his head down, quietly eating.
Noticing Briana frequently looking at Isaac, Maxim’s face visibly darkened.
After finishing a meal, without even having two sips of tea, Maxim had already pulled Briana away.
On the way back, Maxim kept a cold face, and every time Briana spoke to him, he responded succinctly. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Seeing that he was clearly angry, Briana found it somewhat baffling.
“Mr. Yoder, what was wrong with you tonight? Did I upset you?”
