Chapter 58
The next morning, Briana received a phone call from Norma.
“Briana, I received an invitation from an old friend to go to a resort this weekend. Are you available? Would you like to come with me? I heard we can go horseback riding and there is also an amusement park there.”
Norma didn’t want to go originally, but after hearing about these projects, she thought she could take Briana to relax and maybe even bring Maxim along, hoping to repair their relationship.
A hint of surprise flashed in Briana’s eyes. She thought for a moment and realized that she indeed had nothing to do over the weekend, so she agreed.
“Sure, should I come pick you up or meet you directly at the resort?”
“I will go to the villa to pick you up.
Briana hesitated for a few seconds and finally spoke up, “Grandma, actually I lived in the north of the city now.”
Norma frowned, “You and Maxim separated?!”
Thinking about their current relationship, Briana didn’t know how to tell Norma, so she vaguely said, “It’s not a big deal. It’s just that this area is closer to my current company, so I decided to live here.”
“Nonsense! How can a married couple live apart! Now that Kiley has returned, what if someone takes advantage of your absence?”
Briana pursed her lips and spoke softly, “Grandma, you don’t have to

worry about this matter. I will handle it with him.”
“If you had really handled things well, you wouldn’t have separated. I’m going to call Maxim, and if he doesn’t bring you back soon, I won’t let him off the hook!”
“Grandma…”
Norma hung up the phone before finishing her sentence.
Briana was dialing when Norma was already on the phone with Maxim.
She sighed with some helplessness and put her phone aside to start getting ready. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
When I finished getting ready to go out, I realized that Maxim had sent several messages.
“Briana, what did you tell Grandma about Kiley?!”
“Originally, Grandma already had a bad impression of Kiley. You told her about you moving out, and just now she threatened me that if I don’t bring you back to Glamor Villa, she won’t let Kiley off the hook!”
“What kind of love potion did you give Grandma? She unconditionally stands on your side! I told her that you wanted to move out on your own, but she didn’t believe me!”
Briana looked at the messages Maxim sent defending Kiley, but there was no expression in her eyes. She deleted the text message and left for work.
It was soon the weekend, and Briana had already tidied up at home, waiting for Norma to come over.
Briana hesitated for a moment when she saw Maxim’s car parked at the
32 26%
entrance of the villa. She then opened the back door and planned to get in.
“Sit in the front!”
Briana glanced at Maxim, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, and said calmly, “I’ll sit in the back so I can chat with Grandma.”
Norma desperately wanted to repair their relationship and quickly said, “Briana, my old friend will be sitting in the back row later. It will be a bit crowded with three people, so you should sit in the front.”
Hearing this, Briana felt a bit helpless and could only go sit in the passenger seat.
If she had known that Maxim was also going, she would have refused Norma at that time.
Just as I got on the car, Maxim suddenly leaned over.
Briana was startled and quickly dodged to the side, hitting her forehead against the glass with a dull thud.
She frowned and looked at Maxim with caution, “What are you going to do?!”
Maxim’s expression turned cold as he said, “Let me help you fasten your seatbelt.”
“No need, I’ll do it myself!”
Seeing Briana fasten her seatbelt, Maxim didn’t say anything further, but his face turned slightly cold.
Norma watched from behind, her heart filled with worry. Judging by the looks of it, the conflict between the two of them was far from small.
In the past, even if the two of them had conflicts, Briana would not have been so cold to Maxim.
Silent all the way until they reached the entrance of the resort, Briana only then realized that Norma had deceived her about meeting an old friend.
