After saying these words in a cold tone, Maxim hung up the phone.
Kiley took a deep breath to suppress the disappointment in her heart and drove to The Baking Whale.
Mallory and Zane were both very happy tonight. Desmond and Lacey also knew about Kiley advancing
to the semi–finals. They called specifically to instruct Zane to have Kiley continue to work hard, striving
to bring back a first ce.
“Kiley, you really made me proud! I was ying mahjong when I received the news of your
advancement to the semi–finals. Those richdies were so jealous, they all envied me for having such
an outstanding daughter!”
Kiley shyly smiled and modestly said, “Mom, I’m not that great. It’s just a preliminary round now, there
are still severalpetitions ahead.”
With a face full of pride, Mallory said, “My daughter is so amazing, she will definitely win first ce!”
“Then I tried hard!”
Zane was alsoughing as he spoke to her, “Kiley, if you can get first ce, I’ll give you a surprise.”
“What surprise?!”
“If it was revealed, would it still be a surprise?”
“Even if it’s just for the surprise for dad, I have toe in first ce!”

Several peopleughed in unison, and Mallory handed the menu to Kiley, “Kiley, see what you want to
eat.”
“Good.”
Just as Kiley had finished ordering, Zane’s phone started ringing.
He nced down and stood up, saying, “It’s a call from a client, I’ll go out to answer it.”
After leaving the private room, Zane found a quiet corner to answer the phone.
“Didn’t I tell you not to call me recently…”
Before the words were even finished, a panicked voice came through.
“Zane! Victor had a fever, you need toe back immediately!”
Upon hearing this, Zane’s face immediately changed, “I’ll be right there, you start cooling him down
with a wet towel!”
After hanging up the phone, Zane quickly walked towards the booth.
“Mallory, Kiley, something unexpected hase up at thepany, I have to go deal with it right now.
You guys start eating, if you’re not finished by the time I’m done, I’lle back.”
After Zane left, Kiley and Mallory were chatting when suddenly they started talking about Briana.
“Right… Mom, there’s something I’m not sure if I should tell you, it’s about my sister…”
Mallory furrowed her brows, a sh of disgust in her eyes.
“Did she cause trouble again?!”
Kiley pursed her lips, seemingly finding it hard to speak.
“It wasn’t really causing trouble… It’s just that I saw my sister at the venue when I went to participate in
thepetition today.”
“What was she doing at thepetition site?!”
Seemingly struck by a thought, Mallory’s face suddenly turned extremely ugly, “She didn’t know you
were going to thepetition and deliberately sabotage it, did she?!”

Kiley shook her head, “No… actually, my sister was working as a temp at the venue. When I arrived,
she was moving water for the
“Bang!”
Mallory mmed her chopsticks on the table, angrily saying, “Does she think she hasn’t disgraced the
Schneider family enough?!”
If word got out that Briana was working as a temp, it would certainly make the Schneider family the
laughingstock of Bridenville’s high
society.
“You called her immediately!”
Kiley looked troubled, “Mom, if my sister finds out that I was the one who told you about this, she will
definitely misunderstand me again. The reason I told you about this is because I want you to give her
some money, so she won’t have to work as a temp anymore…..”
Mallory sneered, “I won’t give her a single penny! She doesn’t deserve it! Since you refuse to fight, then
I’ll do it myself!”
She picked up her phone and dialed Briana’s number directly, but several calls in a row were hung up
on.
During this period, Kiley had been trying to stop her, but was not sessful
Finally, the call got through.
“Was there something?”
Briana’s indifferent tone infuriated Mallory even more. She spoke angrily. “Briana. I heard you went to
the designpetition site to work as a temp today?”
