Chapter 1140
Peony’s main job in the past was as a hacker, helping them break into target computers or surveillance systems for remote control, so they had never met in person.
The girl known as Peony smiled, hesitated for a moment, then slowly said. “Iris, there’s something I need to tell you.”
“What?” A flicker of confusion passed through Briana Cameron’s eyes as she looked at her.
“My real name is Roxanne, I am Maxim’s… that is, your ex–husband’s sister.”
Briana Cameron’s steps abruptly halted, a flash of shock crossing her
eves.
She really hadn’t expected that Peony was actually the sister of Maxim, who had gone abroad for study in high school.
After several seconds, she finally snapped out of her shock, “Did Maxim know that you worked for Fullmoon?”
Roxanne shook her head, “I didn’t let my family know, and as you know, three years ago when my mom found out my brother wasn’t her biological son, she became very indifferent to him. Over the years, I’ve tried to reconcile them, but without success. Now she’s even
encouraging me to compete with my brother for the Yoder Group, I don’t know what she’s thinking.”
“Alright then.”
“You wouldn’t stop being my friend just because I am Roxanne, would

you?”
Upon hearing this, Briana Cameron couldn’t help but laugh, “No, I wouldn’t involve others in my affairs with Maxim.”
“That’s good. In fact, I knew your identity three years ago. I was very excited when I found out you were my sister–in–law I wanted to return to the country, but unexpectedly, I received news that you were killed by my cousin. There was some trouble abroad at that time, so I didn’t
come back until now.”
When speaking about this matter, Roxanne’s face was somewhat grave.
“It’s all in the past, and Isaac has received his deserved punishment.”
Maxim had locked him in the basement and tortured him for three
years, which could be considered as Isaac’s retribution.
Roxanne sighed. “Now that he’s been rescued, he’s back to opposing the Yoder Group. I feel like my cousin has completely lost his mind. convinced that my parents are the murderers of his parents.”
Briana Cameron raised an eyebrow, asking, “How do you know so much while being abroad?”
“Don’t forget. I’m best at investigating things. I heard that my cousin had harmed you and I immediately looked into it. Later, I found out about my cousin’s revenge against my parents and my brother, as well as the fact that you were taken away by the Cameron family. However, I didn’t tell my brother.”
Briana Cameron paused, “You knew three years ago?”
“Um, I thought my brother was being too unreasonable at that time, so I didn’t tell him your whereabouts. I believed that if you two were truly meant to be, you would end up together in the future.”
Briana Cameron couldn’t help but laugh at herself sarcastically, saying, “It’s all a calamity. If I could, I would rather have never met him.”
“Let’s not talk about these sad things anymore, would you like to have a drink together tonight?”
“No, I didn’t like drinking alcohol.”
“Then let’s find a place to have late–night snacks. I won’t be going back this time I return to my country, so we can often go shopping together in the future.”
“Mm–hmm.” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
The two found a late–night snack shop and only parted ways after finishing their meal.
Roxanne had just arrived at the entrance of the hotel she was staying at when she saw the cold figure sitting in the hotel lobby. She paused for a moment. then walked up with a smile.
“Bro, how did you know I live here?”
Maxim turned around, his cold gaze sweeping over her, as if confirming something.
After several seconds, he finally spoke with a blank expression,
“Where did you go tonight?”
Roxanne gave him an annoyed glance. “Don’t you already know? Why are you asking when you already know?”
“Roxanne, you knew that’s not what I meant.”
