frost.
“She doesn’t want to go with you.”
Bryson’s expression tightened, his eyes menacing. “Maurice, this is none of your business, so I suggest you’d better not interfere.”
Maurice remained stationary.
He glanced at Iliana, and upon seeing her head shake, he remarked, “Mr. Jefferson, do you take pleasure in coercing a girl? Since you already have a girlfriend, what are you doing pestering Iliana?”
Bryanna said in a flustered manner, “No, I’m not…”
But facing Maurice’s cold gaze, she instantly shivered with fear and fell quiet.
Observing the tension, Bryson eventually moderated his voice and spoke to Iliana, “Lia, you’ve been throwing tantrums lately, causing me a lot of trouble, and you haven’t been to work. So when exactly are you willing to go to the branch office?”
Hearing this, Iliana frowned slightly.
Go to the branch office?
Hadn’t she already stated her resignation in her letter?
Bryanna’s heart skipped a beat suddenly, but she tried her best to maintain a calm expression on her face.
She stepped forward a few steps and quickly feigned mediation, “Yes, Iliana, as long as you’re willing, there will always be a job for you at the company. Let’s put the past behind us. After all, a girl should have her own career and shouldn’t depend on men, especially not on men

with uncertain backgrounds.”
After speaking, she glanced significantly at Maurice, who was standing nearby.
Iliana’s eyes lifted slightly, gazing at Bryanna’s hypocritical face.
She understood the hidden meaning behind Bryanna’s words and couldn’t help but chuckle.
Maurice, standing beside them, raised an eyebrow and said calmly, “I’m not a man with an unknown background. I’m just a suitor of Ms. Carson. As long as Ms. Carson is willing, I don’t mind being involved in a love triangle.”
His voice was deep and affectionate, showing a noble elegance.
Bryson, standing nearby, frowned slightly.
Maurice was the heir of the powerful Andrade family in Baycastle.
Why would he be so submissive to Iliana, even going as far as saying he wanted to pursue her?
What did he really want?
Iliana curled her red lips.
With a slight lift of the corners of her eyebrows, she said slowly, “What are you talking about? Mr. Andrade, with your handsome looks, how could I let you be left out? You’re definitely my favorite.”
As soon as she finished, Bryson watched their interaction, feeling an internal anger that wouldn’t go away.
Bryson’s tone became stern, “Even if you’re angry with me, you

shouldn’t use this method. A girl should maintain her purity.”
Iliana thought it was ironic.
Bryson always seemed to have a superior, self–righteous attitude, as if he knew what was best for her.
“Mr. Jefferson, what I become has nothing to do with you.”
“Then who does it concern?” Bryson extended his defined hand, pointing towards Maurice. “Does it concern him? Iliana, did you involve him just to anger me? You’re being very naughty.”
Bryson’s gaze fell on Maurice, showing a hint of cold indifference.
Iliana knew that Maurice was his enemy, so she had associated with Maurice just to anger him.
Iliana’s expression grew colder. “That’s my business. If you two have nothing else, we’ll be leaving now.”
A faint anger appeared in Bryson’s eyes.
Maurice, standing beside them, had a slight smile on his lips, showing a casual amusement.
At that moment, Bryanna stepped forward, blocking Bryson and Iliana, trying to act as a mediator.
“Iliana, Brys is just trying to help you. Don’t say such hurtful things. After all, the two of you have always been very close.”
Iliana glanced at Bryanna, a look of disdain flickering in her eyes.
Very close?

They had already broken up.
Iliana’s tone became cold, “What does it have to do with you?”
Bryanna’s face quickly went from pale to an embarrassed blush.
Next to them, Bryson’s eyes showed a stronger anger.
He took Bryanna to the side and looked at Iliana seriously. “I give you three days to think clearly about everything you have done recently. I hope you remember how I have taught you since you were young.”
“I am no longer a child. Mr. Jefferson, since you have chosen Bryanna, please stay out of my life.”
Iliana’s attractive face showed no emotion.
Bryson’s eyebrows knitted together tightly.
He glanced at Iliana and Maurice, then, with a stern expression, led Bryanna into the hospital.
Iliana watched them walk away, her face remaining expressionless.
After the two had left, Maurice stepped forward and chuckled, asking Iliana, “Ms. Carson, were you serious when you said I look quite good just now?”
Iliana looked up, making eye contact with him.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Quickly, she regained her calm and smiled softly, “Of course, Mr. Andrade. You’re both handsome and charming, and most importantly, you are a decent and reliable man.”

In their interactions, he always knew how to act properly.
To her, he was truly a good friend.
Maurice didn’t reply, he just looked at her deeply.
Soon, he drove her home.
After seeing Maurice leave, Iliana leaned back on the sofa and thought.
In just over ten days, she would be leaving Whiteville.
After saying goodbye to Bryson, she would go back to Baycastle to begin her new life.
But before going home, she had some things to take care of.
Since coming to this city with Bryson, she had rarely taken time for herself. She had often wanted to visit an artist’s exhibition.
She had initially planned to go with Bryson, but he always said he was too busy, so they never went.
Now, she had the time to fulfill that wish.
What he couldn’t do with her, she could do by herself.
Over the next two days, besides focusing on her health, Iliana also paid attention to the artist’s recent activities.
By chance, the artist was holding an exhibition in Whiteville during those days.
As Iliana was about to book tickets, a message appeared on her phone.

It was from Maurice.
“Ms. Carson, there is an artist’s exhibition at a nearby art center in Whiteville. Would you like to go with me?”
