Chapter 309
The Schneider family said:
After a few seconds of eerie silence, Zane hurriedly said, “Mr. Yoder, please sit down.”
After speaking, he asked Mallory to pour the tea again.
Mallory was filled with anger. She couldn’t believe that Briana, even after divorcing Maxim, was still trying to seduce
him. No wonder Kiley had rarely mentioned Maxim recently, it was all because of Briana!
She was so angry that her hands were shaking. As she looked down at the boiling hot tea, a malicious thought
suddenly rose in her heart.
If Briana had been disfigured, Maxim surely wouldn’t have wanted her anymore, and then he would have changed
his mind and gotten back together with Kiley!
On the other side, Briana was completely unaware of the impending danger. She exchanged a few words with
Lacey, and upon learning that she would be discharged in a few days, she didn’t say anything
more.
She only saw Lacey during holidays, and their relationship was quite cold. Knowing that Lacey, like everyone else,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdidn’t like her, Briana didn’t take the initiative to approach her.
During the silence among them, suddenly a terrified voice rang out beside their ears.
“Watch out!”
Briana turned around, only to see Mallory losing her balance, seemingly about to fall, and the teacup in her hand
was flying straight towards her…
If the boiling water inside had splashed on her face, the consequences would have been unthinkable!
Briana was about to dodge when her wrist was seized by Maxim, who then abruptly pulled her to the side.
The boiling water that was supposed to fall on her face, all fell on his arm instead.
After steadying herself, Briana quickly pulled his hand over. The area scalded by the water had already rapidly
developed many blisters.
Mallory evidently hadn’t expected that Maxim would end up getting burned in the end, her face instantly turned
incredibly pale.
“I’m… I’m sorry, it wasn’t intentional… I just slipped a moment ago…”
No sooner had the words fallen than Zane slapped him, “Useless thing, you can’t even make a tea properly!”
Mallory was filled with anger, but she dared not say anything more, her face full of guilt.
Briana ignored the two, directly pulling Maxim up and saying, “I’ll take you to treat your wounds.”
The doctor was found and told that Maxim’s hand had been scalded The doctor immediately treated the burned
area on Maxim’s hand and advised him not to touch water recently.
On the way back to the ward, Briana looked at Maxim and said, “Mr. Yoder, I’m sorry for causing you harm.”

Seeing the guilt in her eyes, Maxim said softly, “It’s okay, it will be fine in a few days. But this time, Mrs. Schneider
did it on purpose.”
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Briana’s eyes, her voice devoid of any warmth, “I knew, but I just didn’t
expect that she would despise me to this extent.”
“I wouldn’t let her off the hook for this.”
Briana pursed her lips, “What do you want to do?”
Maxim’s expression was dark and indifferent, “The Schneider Group was recently discussing a major collaboration.
If that collaboration fell through, the Schneider Group’s funding chain would break, facing the risk of bankruptcy.”

Briana lowered her gaze, Zane knew that the collaboration had been ruined because of Mallory, and he would
definitely not let Mallory off the hook.
Seeing Briana remain silent, Maxim continued. “If you don’t want me to do this, I’ll act as if nothing ever
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhappened.”
She shook her head, her voice as cold as if it had been soaked in snow
“No need, she hurt you. Even if you don’t take action, I won’t let this matter just pass by.”
Looking down and seeing the indifference on Briana’s face, Maxim suddenly felt a pang of heartache. She must
have been disappointed many times to be so ruthless towards Mallory
“Just leave it to me. Although the Schneider family was not good to you, if you really did something to them, others
would definitely attack you indiscriminately ”
Briana looked up at Maxim, nodding and said, “Okay”

The two returned to the ward, where only Zane was left.
Seeing Maxim’s hand wrapped in gauze, Zane continued to apologize, “Mr. Yoder, I’m really sorry about what
happened today.”
Maxim’s expression was icy, “You don’t need to apologize.”
Zane was stunned, still not reacting, when Maxim’s next words. instantly made him feel as if he had fallen into an
ice cellar.
“Because I won’t let the Schneider family off the hook, there’s no need to continue discussing the recent
collaboration with the Schneider Group.”
