Chapter 701

As his words fell, the entire ward fell into silence.

Michael’s hand, hanging at his side, unconsciously clenched into a fist, his gaze also incredibly gloomy.

He confessed his feelings today, originally intending to let Briana Cameron understand his intentions. He didn’t expect Briana Cameron to agree to him right away. However, after Maxim’s interference, Briana Cameron was very likely to reject him!

Sure enough, the next second, Briana Cameron looked up at Michael.

“Mr. Marsh, thank you for your affection, but I recently had no plans to start a relationship.”

Michael forced a smile and said, “It’s okay, I’ll be quietly by your side. I have a meeting at my company, so I have to go now. I’ll come to see you again next time.”

After speaking, Michael left in a hurry. If he had stayed any longer, he didn’t know if Maxim would say something else that would embarrass him even more.

After the ward was left with only two people, Briana Cameron said calmly, “Mr. Yoder, thank you and your secretary for saving me. As a token of my gratitude, I will discuss with my father to continue the cooperation between the Cameron Group and the Yoder Group.”

Maxim stared at her, saying word by word, “This is not what I wanted.”

His gaze was too direct, filled with such deep affection that Briana

Cameron dared not meet it. She quickly averted her eyes, her heartbeat involuntarily skipping a few beats.

Realizing this, Briana Cameron couldn’t help but feel secretly annoyed. Knowing full well that he was treating her as a substitute for his ex- wife, she still couldn’t help but fall for him. It seemed she really needed to replace a man.

“Mr. Yoder, this is the only way I can repay you. If you want something else, I’m sorry, but I can’t provide it.”

Detecting the coldness in her voice, a sense of loss flashed in Maxim’s

eyes.

“It’s okay, I knew you didn’t believe me at the moment, but I would show you my sincerity towards you gradually.”

Briana Cameron sneered, “Mr. Yoder, while I appreciate your rescue, isn’t it a bit shameless to take advantage of that? You’re just treating me as a substitute for your ex-wife, but I won’t be anyone’s substitute. What I can do is to restore cooperation between the Cameron Group and the Yoder Group. However, if you need money, you can also name your price.”

Maxim’s eyes grew cold, he walked to the bedside, suddenly bending down close to Briana Cameron.

She was startled by his action, but she didn’t back down, just stared at him coldly.

As the distance between the two of them grew closer, Briana Cameron also caught the scent of pine coming from him, and couldn’t help but frown.

Even though I had never smelled this scent on anyone before, why did it feel familiar?

He stared into her eyes, chuckling lightly, “Money? How much do you think your life is worth?”

A flash of impatience flickered in Briana Cameron’s eyes as she said coldly, “Mr. Yoder, do you replace this amusing? It’s true that you saved me, but there’s no law that states that one must offer themselves to their savior, is there?”

No sooner had the words fallen than Maxim murmured, “So you’ve been thinking this far ahead? I just wanted you to give me a chance to get to know each other.”

Seeing the teasing in his eyes, Briana Cameron frowned, “There’s no need to understand, Mr. Yoder is not my type, I have no interest in getting to know Mr. Yoder.”

“You hadn’t even understood, how did you know you weren’t interested?”

“Mr. Yoder, did you replace this amusing?”

The disgust in her eyes was undisguised as she coldly said to him, “I detest persistent men the most, I hope Mr. Yoder can respect himself!”

He had said similar things to Briana before, but now that he was saying them to himself, Maxim finally understood how painful it was.

The heart felt as if someone was stirring it with a knife from the inside, causing so much pain that it was almost impossible to breathe.

“Briana……”

He reached out to touch Briana Cameron’s face, but before he could, an angry voice came from behind him.

“Maxim! What were you doing to Briana?! Stay away from my daughter!”

Just as Maxim turned around, Gemma angrily threw the porridge she was holding at him!
