Chapter 431
“Briana, when did you come back? I’ve been trying to reach you on your phone recently but couldn’t get through, I
was so worried. Where have you been all this time?!”
Briana explained, “I accidentally broke my phone before and haven’t had the chance to buy a new one. I’ll have
William help me replace the
card later.”
“Alright, a lot has happened in Bridenville recently. Ever since Isaac took over the Yoder Group, all the collaborations
we had previously agreed upon with the Yoder Group have been rejected by him. Recently, we’ve been busy
creating new proposals to find new clients, barely having time to touch the ground. Thankfully, you’re back.”
Briana furrowed her brow, stopping in her tracks to look at Melody.
“Did you just say, Isaac took over the Yoder Group?”
Melody nodded, “Yes, didn’t you know? Maxim was previously falsely accused of embezzling company funds and tax
evasion. He was detained at the police station for several days before being released.”
Briana was silent for a moment, then said, “Melody, I’m going back to the office first. We’ll have a meeting in the
conference room in two hours. Please notify the other shareholders.”
After speaking, Briana immediately turned around and left.
Watching her hurried figure, a flicker of confusion passed through Melody’s eyes. Wasn’t Briana supposed to be the
first to know about the personnel changes at the Yoder Group?

Returning to the office, Briana immediately opened a web page to search for news about the Yoder Group. She
quickly saw that Isaac had become the new president of the Yoder Group, and news of Maxim deeply embroiled in a
scandal of embezzlement and tax
evasion.
The more she looked, the more her brows furrowed. The days Maxim was detained happened to be the days she
took Norma to Faywick, when Norma was assassinated. No wonder he didn’t answer when she called him from
Faywick.
Briana’s hand, holding the mouse, tightened unconsciously, unsure of what she was feeling inside.
He encountered such a big issue, yet he didn’t mention a word to her.
However… she never gave him a chance.
After a while, Briana quietly closed the webpage, no matter how he was now, it had nothing to do with her
anymore.
William acted quickly, he had helped Briana replace her card and bought her a new phone by the afternoon.
Briana had just inserted the card and turned on the machine when countless missed calls and unread messages
flooded in. A small portion belonged to Melody and Madeline, but the rest all came from the same person.
She pursed her lips and opened those unread messages.
Ever since her phone broke, from morning till late at night, there were almost dozens of messages every day asking
where she was and asking her to call back.
Briana read through word by word, sentence by sentence, and then deleted them one by one, but she just couldn’t

down.
She put down her phone and let out a gentle sigh.
From the lines of Maxim’s words, she could tell that he was genuinely worried about her, but it was also a fact that
he was entangled with Kiley.
The despair she had experienced on the cruise ship was something she never wanted to go through again in her
life.
In the evening, just as Briana had finished work and walked downstairs from the company building, Kendra came
looking for her.
“Briana, where did you take the old lady?! Why did you disappear with her, and now you’ve come back safe and
sound, but there’s no sign of the old lady?!”
Kendra’s eyes were filled with anger, her gaze at Briana was like looking at a murderer.
Only the 40% shares in the old lady’s hands combined with the 10% shares Maxim held could dethrone Isaac from
the presidency of the Yoder Group. Therefore, she wished nothing more than for Norma to appear before her

Briana frowned, her voice somewhat cold, “Norma is currently recuperating in a safe place, she will be back in two
weeks.”
She had already told Maxim about this. Hadn’t he told Kendra?
“Half a month?!”
Kendra’s voice suddenly rose, “I can’t wait that long! You tell me right now where the old lady is, or I won’t let you
off!”
Norma’s health was so depleted that if she didn’t recover well this time,

it would leave lingering health issues and her health would drastically deteriorate.
Thinking of this person, Briana said expressionlessly, “I said half a month and I meant half a month. If you can’t
wait, that’s your problem.”
Seeing Briana wanting to leave, Kendra angrily raised her hand to slap her.
Briana’s eyes turned cold, but before she could make a move, Kendra’s hand was intercepted.
Seeing it was Maxim, Kendra was even more infuriated, and said angrily, “Maxim, are you still defending her?!
Never mind whether your grandmother is safe or not, by the time half a month passes and Isaac has transferred all
the assets he should transfer, even if you get back the Yoder Group, it will only be an empty shell!”
Maxim’s expression was icy as he spoke deliberately, “Since she said two weeks, she must have her own reasons. I
trust her!”
Hearing his firm tone, Briana’s eyelashes unconsciously fluttered, and her hands hanging by her side also
unconsciously tightened.
