“I went too.”
Hearing this, Briana couldn’t help but frown. Maxim was currently embroiled in a sexual harassment
scandal. If he attended the party now, he would definitely be ridiculed.
Maxim should have been the center of attention, the object of everyone’s envy, not someone who was
despised for unfounded usations.
“I thought it would be better if you didn’t attend the banquet tonight.”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds before Maxim’s deep voice came
through.
“If you were worried that my entering with you would affect you, I could go in an hour after you.”
Upon hearing this, a pang of heartache rose in Briana’s heart, but more than that, anger, “Is this the
kind of person I am in your eyes?!”
“I knew you weren’t, but I didn’t want you to be criticized because of me.”
A hint of confusion shed in Briana’s eyes as she slowly asked, “I want to know, why did you have to
attend this banquet?”
Maxim whispered, “What about you?”
Briana suddenly understood, he had guessed the purpose of her attending the party, and she couldn’t
help but sigh.

“I knew I couldn’t hide it from you, but I didn’t want you to go.”
Maxim’s voice was low, “You attended the banquet for my sake, do you think I could let you face those
rumors alone?”
Their rtionship was not public, but they never deliberately hid it from others. Briana was attending a
party tonight, and Maxim could imagine how those people would maliciously use the incident with
Jennifer to upset her.
After a stalemate for a while, it was ultimately Briana who was defeated.
“Alright, we’ll go together, but you don’t have to deliberately avoid me, we’ll go in together.”
After a long silence, the deep voice of Maxim finally came from the other side.
“Good.”
At seven in the evening, Briana, hand in hand with Maxim, walked into the most luxurious banquet hall
on the fifth floor of Cloud Hotel, immediately attracting everyone’s attention.
Maxim, dressed in a ck suit, stood tall and straight, exuding an icy aura that was intimidating to
behold.

with the incident involving Jennifer, everyone’s gaze at them was filled with contempt and ridicule.
“I didn’t expect Maxim to have the audacity to attend the banquet. Truly, shamelessness knows no
bounds. If I were him, I would have crawled into a hole a long time ago. There’s no way I could be as
composed as him, acting as if nothing had happened.”
“It was obvious that he had done this kind of thing quite often in private, so he didn’t care at all. I don’t
know what the Ponce family was thinking, they even sent him an invitation!”
“You didn’t know this, but senior Mr. Ponce and old man Yang had a great rtionship. I suspect senior
Mr. Ponce wanted to take this opportunity to help the Yang family get their revenge. Just wait and
watch the drama unfold!”

Amidst the surrounding murmurs, Briana and Maxim acted as if they heard nothing, slowly making their
way towards senior Mr. Ponce seated in the center of the banquet hall.
Approaching senior Mr. Ponce, Briana handed the gift to the person in charge of receiving gifts, smiling
and saying, “Wishing senior Mr. Ponce a wealth as vast as the eastern sea and a life as long as the
southern mountains.”
Senior Mr. Ponce nced at her indifferently, then turned to look at Maxim, his face immediately
turning somewhat unpleasant.
“Mr. Yoder… no, perhaps I should call you Maxim now. I heard that you behaved inappropriately
towards my great–granddaughter while conducting business a few days ago. Is this true?”
Upon hearing this, the people around immediately pricked up their ears, even the chatter significantly
decreased. The entire banquet hall

quieted down, all eyes were focused on Maxim, curious to see how he would respond.
However, Maxim remained indifferent, his facial expression didn’t change at all.
“Did Senior Mr. Ponce have any misunderstanding about me?”
Senior Mr. Ponce was taken aback, “What do you mean?”
“I was not blind, nor was I interested in ugly women.”
