Never See You Again

Maeve hadn’t revisited the memory of that car accident–the one that left her an orphan at a young age–for years. She had always believed it was simply a tragic accident 

Now, seated across from her, Levi segested it might have been a meticulously planned conspiracy. 

“It was a façade for Zion’s parents to die in the car crash,” Levi explained. 

“Mrs. Spencer, pregnant at the time, survived. In order to keepher safe and hidden, Mr. Spencer Senior sent her abroad, and Zion was born shortly after.” 

Rumors had always painted Christine as a mistress kept secret by Bryan, depicted as a lunatic harboring a grudge and instilled in Zion a desire for revenge against the Spencers. 

However, Zion himself had confirmed these claims as mere public fabrications. Christine was not a mistress but Bryan’s lawful wife, the rightful Mrs. Spencer. 

“Tell me, who wanted his parents dead? And how are my parents connected to all this?” Maeve asked urgently. She was desperate to seek an answer for the tragedy back then. 

Let toyed with a ring on his finger, responding, “In the generation before Mr. Spencer Senior, several prominent families guarded a secret in Seathburn City. These families included the Hacketts, the Spencers, the Fosters, and the Scotts.” 

Maeve’s gaze shot up, stunned at the unexpected mention of her family, 

He continued faintly, “The Spencers, with their military backgrounds, held crucial information. While your family, the Scotts, were with respectable scholarly heritage. Your marriage into the Brooks family was partly because they valued the Scotts” long–standing influence in Seathburn City, 

“Though the Scott family has declined in recent years, as the heiress, you should be aware of your family’s former glory.” 

Maeve did remember the Scotts‘ past prominence. Back then, Scott Manor had a memorial hall that Patrick would always take her to visit, and every Christmas, they would return 

Nonetheless, she hadn’t visited the Scott Estate ever since Patrick’s death. 

“I want to know… What is the secret of Seathburn City?” she asked. 

“Zion wanted to keep you out of it, which is why he kept silent,” Levi explained. “Don’t blame him for withholding information. That group can be a liteline in a crisis.” 

“So, you’re here to speak on Zion’s behalf?” Maeve pressed on. 

“I just hope you won’t do something you’ll regret,” Levi said calmly. 

Marve pursed her lips together. 

He continued, “Ican see you care deeply for Zion. He would sacrifice everything for your safety. Can you, in return, pretend not to know anything and embrace the happiness that’s yours? 

His words resonated with Maeve, and she forced herself to stay calm. 

“So how did my parents really die? Are the people who killed Zion’s parents the same ones responsible for my parents‘ deaths?” 

“I don’t know,” Levi responded. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

She probed, “You don’t?”
