Chapter 658
“Mom, did you hear that today was my sister’s funeral?”
Upon hearing this, Mallory’s expression stiffened for a moment, then she said coldly, “Don’t bother, she would only
annoy me even if she were alive.”
Mallory handed the chicken soup to Kiley, “Drink the soup, you’ve had the baby for several days now, how come not
a single person from the Yoder family has come to visit? Norma wouldn’t plan on reneging on the 10% share she
promised you, would she?”
A moment of unnaturalness flashed across Kiley’s face, “Impossible, I am, after all, the great-grandson of the old
lady. She would definitely fulfill what she promised me.”
Seeing Kiley’s determined face, Mallory didn’t say anything more, but still felt a bit strange inside.
Just as something flashed through her mind, Kiley suddenly said, “Right, has no one been to the old house?”
Speaking of this, Mallory immediately beamed with joy, “Didn’t that little bastard get beaten senseless? The people
at the old house were all busy looking for a doctor for him, even foolishly hoping that he could

A glint of coldness flashed in Kiley’s eyes as she said, word by word, “Pretend you don’t know about this matter,
and never mention it in front of anyone else, or we’re done.”
Mallory nodded, “Don’t worry, I won’t say a word!”
Since Briana’s funeral, Maxim had been living like he was in the office, either in meetings or reviewing documents
every day.
Many times when Rayan finished work, he saw Maxim still handling work in the office. He couldn’t help but advise
him, but Maxim wouldn’t listen.
Seeing Maxim growing weaker day by day, his face becoming more and more haggard, Rayan had no choice but to
call Norma over.
Maxim looked at him coldly, “Rayan, who exactly is the one paying your salary?”
Rayan lowered his head guiltily, before he could speak, Norma
interjected, “Maxim, Rayan is only looking out for your best interest. Instead of reprimanding such an employee,
you should be giving him a raise!”
Hearing this, Rayan wholeheartedly agreed in his mind. Although the salary Maxim was currently paying him was
far above the market rate, who would complain about having too much money?
Maxim looked at Norma with indifference, “Grandma, if you’re here to persuade me, you can leave now.”
Norma asked Rayan to leave, slowly walked over and sat down across from Maxim, opening her mouth with a face
full of sorrow, “Maxim, no matter how much you don’t want to admit it, the fact is that Briana has left. You should
pull yourself together now…”
Before she could finish her words, Maxim interrupted her with a faint expression, “Grandma, am I not doing well
now?”
“You were so careless with your health, in less than a month, your body would have collapsed.”
”
“I knew what was going on in my mind.”
Seeing that he clearly wasn’t listening, Norma immediately became angry, “From now on, you must come home to
the Harmony Villa on time for dinner, and you will live in the Harmony Villa. Otherwise, I won’t eat either. I’ll stay
here with you. Whatever time you stay up until. I’ll stay up until the same time!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaxim was somewhat helpless, “Grandma, please don’t make it difficult for me…”
“Did I just make things difficult for you? Maxim, you’re the one making things difficult for yourself.”
Maxim gradually fell silent, and after a long while, he slowly said, “But I don’t know what else I could do to forget
her.”
Every time he thought about his inability to save her, it felt as if a knife was stirring in his heart, causing him
unbearable pain.
“Maxim, it’s normal that you can’t let go right now, don’t force yourself to forget. Take some time to rest for now,
as for the rest, leave it to
time.”
Maxim lowered his gaze, his eyes glowing crimson as he said, “I understand, I will return to the Harmony Villa in the
future.”
After Norma left, Maxim called Rayan in.
Rayan had initially thought that because he had brought Norma, Maxim was now planning to settle scores.
Unexpectedly, he just asked coldly, “Has Isaac been found?”
“We had a lead, our people had already gone to apprehend it, they `should be able to catch it in the next few
days.”
