Chapter 632
After hanging up the phone, he lowered his gaze in thought. It seemed it was time to kill Briana. However, if she
was Iris, he would need to be extra careful. Otherwise, not only would he fail to kill her, but he might also very likely
implicate himself.
Late at night, Cloud Estate.
Dressed in black night gear, Briana moved as lightly as a cat and quickly infiltrated Maxim’s villa.
Maxim didn’t live here, there were no other people except for a few servants and bodyguards.
Using the cover of darkness, Briana had avoided everyone and searched the entire villa, but she hadn’t found
Sophie.
She pondered for a moment, then began to search for the basement in the villa.
Several minutes later, the entrance to the basement was finally found at the back of the storage room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBriana quickly walked to the door, about to unlock it, when the lights of the villa suddenly turned on.
A sense of foreboding suddenly filled her heart. Just as she was about to run, her wrist was seized.
The familiar scent of pine resin wafted over, Maxim’s cold voice echoed from behind.
“Briana, could you tell me why you were here?”
Briana shook off his hand, turned around, and looked at him expressionlessly.
“Maxim, is it interesting to ask knowingly?”
Seeing the wariness and vigilance in her eyes, Maxim’s gaze darkened a bit, “I’ve said it before, I will let Sophie go
in a few days, why don’t you believe me?”
Briana scoffed, “There hasn’t been a shred of trust between us for a long time.”
“I had someone take you back.”
“Maxim, since I came today and didn’t take Sophie away, I won’t leave either.”
Maxim pursed his thin lips, fell silent for a few seconds, then
murmured, “Fine, since you refuse to leave, stay here for the night before you go.”
Briana: “……
Looking into Maxim’s serious eyes, a wave of speechlessness surged in Briana’s heart.
“Maxim, I don’t have time to play Tai Chi with you here. What will it take for you to let Sophie go?”
This was his territory, and if one clashed head-on with him, they would definitely not come out on top.
Maxim stared at her, seemingly pondering for a few seconds, then slowly said, “Spend the night with me, and I’ll let
her go.”
Upon hearing this, Briana’s face instantly turned incredibly ugly, she gritted her teeth and said, “Don’t go too far!”
Seeing her face turn bright red with anger, and her earlobes so red they seemed to bleed, Maxim couldn’t help but
raise an eyebrow.
“Did you misunderstand? When I said sleep, I meant just sleep, not the deep interaction you’re thinking of.”
The teasing in Maxim’s eyes made Briana wish she could immediately find a crack in the ground to crawl into. She

divorced. If word gets out, how am I supposed to find a boyfriend in the future?”
“How long has it been since our divorce, and you’re already looking for a boyfriend?!” Maxim’s tone was filled with
a gritted-teeth bitterness, his gaze on Briana was icy cold.
Briana chuckled, reminding, “Mr. Yoder, before you criticize me, shouldn’t you reflect on yourself first? We just got
divorced, and you already took Kiley to the hospital for a prenatal check-up. Compared to you. I should be
considered slow, right?”
“Were you jealous?”
Upon hearing this, the smile on Briana’s face turned into a blank expression, “I’m not that idle.”
After speaking, she turned to leave.
However, after only taking two steps, he was tightly embraced from behind.
Briana paused for a moment, then began to struggle violently.
“Maxim, let go of me!”
