A glint of coldness flashed in Maxim’s eyes as he murmured, “Hmm.”
Briana Cameron thought his expression was a bit strange, but seeing his pale face and his apparent reluctance to talk more, she didn’t continue to ask.
After dinner, Maxim returned to his study to deal with work. Briana Cameron had planned to watch TV in the living room, but her phone suddenly rang.
Seeing it was Elliot, a flash of confusion crossed her eyes.
As soon as the call connected, Elliot’s somewhat anxious voice came through
“Ms. Cameron, I left a document in the office, it’s the design draft you handed in before. The client wants to see it now, do you have the original copy?”
“Yes, I scanned it and sent it to you.”
“Alright, alright, you’ve worked hard.”
“It’s okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Briana Cameron went to the study with the documents.
Just upon reaching the door, the cold voice of Maxim could be heard coming from inside.
“Check if the Cameron family has committed any illegal or criminal

Briana Cameron’s body jolted to a halt, a flash of disbelief flickering in her eyes, her hand clutching the design draft unconsciously tightened.
Why did Maxim want to investigate the Cameron family?
The Yoder family and the Cameron family were business rivals, although there had been some recent work exchanges, it was only to deal with the Kingly Group.
Once the Kingly Group fell, the Yoder Group and the Cameron Group would surely quickly start to reoccupy the market.
Thinking of this, Briana Cameron’s face darkened, and she directly pushed open the door of the study.
Maxim looked over coldly and darkly, but when he recognized the person standing outside the door as Briana Cameron, the chill on his face disappeared, replaced by surprise.
“I had something going on here, so I couldn’t talk to you anymore.”
He hung up the phone, stood up and walked over to Briana Cameron, “Briana, how come you’re here? Is there anything wrong?”
Briana Cameron looked at him, saying word by word. “I just heard you asking someone to check the criminal records of the Cameron family Are you planning to go against the Cameron family?”
Seeing the coldness in her eyes, Maxim couldn’t help but frown. “Is this the kind of person I am in your eyes?!”
“If it wasn’t for dealing with the Cameron Group, I can’t think of any reason why you would investigate such a thing.”
Maxim’s eyes darkened slightly, he said in a low voice, “I can’t tell you now, but what I can assure you is that I will absolutely not go against the Cameron family, because I know, the Cameron family is very important to you!”
Seeing the seriousness in his eyes, Briana Cameron pursed her lips, “If
it’s not for some unspeakable purpose, why can’t you tell me now?”
“Give me a little more time. After I’ve dealt with everything, I’ll definitely explain everything to you clearly. Until then, can you give me a little trust, okay?!”
Briana Cameron fell silent for a moment, then said coldly, “No, I can’t gamble with their lives. If you don’t tell me the reason. I’ll tell my dad about this.”
A flicker of disappointment passed through Maxim’s eyes. Even though they were back together, Briana Cameron had never fully trusted him.
And he, in order to resolve all issues between himself and Briana Cameron, also hid many things from her.
“If you wanted to speak, you should have spoken.”
Having said that, Maxim lowered his gaze, intending to leave.
A flash of anger crossed Briana Cameron’s eyes as she blocked his path and gritted her teeth, “Is it so hard for you to explain?”
“I had reasons that I couldn’t explain, and since you wouldn’t believe me, I had nothing more to say.”
He pushed away Briana Cameron’s hand, slowly saying, “I still have – unfinished work in my company, I won’t be coming back to sleep tonight, you should rest early.”
“Maxim! You stop right there! Is this your attitude towards solving problems?!”
Maxim’s silhouette stiffened for a moment, but he didn’t turn around, he still left quickly.
