The Heir's Secret Bride

Maeve did not say anything. After simply packing her stuff into suitcase, she said to Bonnie, "Alright. Let's go." When Bonnie saw her red-rimmed eyes, she could not help but ask, "Are you really leaving? What about here."

"This is not my home in the first place," Maeve said with a sense of self-mockery. "It's just that I thought this place would become my home in the future, and I had a dream that didn't belong to me for too long" She thought. It's time to wake up from this dream now Bonnie quickly con comforted her. I can stay at my house for as long as you want. After all, my parents are so busy that they are frequently away. You can keep me company Maeve smiled. Thank you, Bonnie."

"You

The next day, Byron díd not go to to the company immediately after being discharged from the hospital. Instead, he asked the driver to make a U-turn and go to the apartment. As soon as he went in, he noticed that the living room was noticeably much emptier.

The snacks in

in the cabinet, the rabbit-shaped pillow, as well as the facial mask and hand cream that were usually everywhere were all gone. Byron frowned slightly. He suddenly thought of something and rode into the guest room.

The wardrobe was empty. There was not even a piece of clothing.

Maeve has left, he thought. 'She has left without leaving anything behind, even taking the daisy bedding from the round bed

Byron stood there, his blue eyes gloomy and a sneer escaping his thin lips.

He thought, "She's grown some skills, and she's even learned how to leave home?"

He walked out of the guest room and took out his phone to call Archer. Find out where Maeve is.

"Okay, Mr. Mcdaniel."

After hanging up the phone, Byron walked to the terrace. Looking at the vegetables on the flower rack that Maeve hadn't had time to take with her, he squinted. Rightpfter that, he unplugged the water dispenser.

Maeve didn't know that her precious vegetables were being mistreated so soon after she moved out.

She had slept in Bonnie's house for a day and a night, and she just received a call from a college classmate to attend a class reunion at the agreed-upon hotel.

She used to be close with many classmates, but after she started dating Jeff, their interaction had decreased over time. She thought she might be able to use this opportunity to improve her friendship with them, so she came over. After entering the private room, Maeve realized that almost everyone had already arrived.

Maura, who had tripped her up at the restaurant the other day, was also there, and she even brought her new boyfriend.

"Oh, look who's here," she said. "It's our Maevelicious"

드

"It's not easy to meet you, Maevelicious. You were the only one alisent at last year's class reunion."

"You are not absent this year, but why didn't you bring your boyfriend along! If you have broken up with him, I'm first in line."

The guys began to joke around and even whistled boldly.

Maevelicious was the nickname they gave Maeve when they were in school because she danced to the poem "She Walks in Beauty" on the day of the freshumen's welcome party. Her stunning performance earned her that nickname.

sat down amid their teasing, raised her glass of juice, and said, "I'm sorry for missing the party last year. I'll apologize to everybody with this juice in place of alcohol."

Maeve sat

"Our Maevelicious is as

is as straightforward as ever," the class monitor Evan Parker said, taking the lead in clapping. "Of course, we'll forgive you." Showing respect, the others clapped as well.

Maeve couldn't help but laugh.

"Is there a need for you guys to flatter her like this?" Maura said, rolling her eyes. "No matter how much you flatter her, it's pointless. She's already married."

Evan turned to look at Maeve, his eyes showing a hint of nervousness. "Maeve, you're married? When was it?"

Just as Maeve was about to answer, Maura interjected, "Not long ago. I even saw Maeve's husband."

"Who's so lucky to marry our Maevelicious? What does he do for a living? What does he look like?" The people beside her were all curious.

"Is he the scion of Graves Group who dated Maeve previously?"

Wow!"

Upon hearing these words, Maura laughed. "The scion of Graves Group has good judgment. Of course, he didn't marry Maeve. Her husband is just a driver. His look is the only thing that's passable. He doesn't have any branded items on him. He's so darn shabby." The atmosphere in the private room instantly became a bit tense. The people who were gossiping earlier looked awkward too.

"Maeve, with your

good qualities, you're more than qualified to get married to a rich kid. How come you got married to a driver..."

s not that I discriminate against drivers, but poor couples have a lot of problems. Without money, every issue arises."

"It's not that

You're quite a catch too. Why make such a bad choice?"

it been in the past, Maeve might have argued with them about occupational equality, but now... she just found these people amusing, just like she used to be.

Her lips curled slightly, and she said nothing.

When Maura saw her downcast look, she deliberately said, "By the way, I forgot to mention. Everything tonight is on my boyfriend. Eat and drink as much as you want. Don't hold back with us. 08:13 Mon, Oc

The man in expensive and fashionable clothes sitting beside her smiled and nodded. "As long as everybody has a good time, that's all that matters."

Everyone's attention was immediately attracted by them. This was followed by a round of applause.

"You two are so generous."

"We won't hold back with you then."

we won

"The expenses here are not low. With so many of us here, it will cost at least tens of thousands of dollars a night. Maura, can your boyfriend afford it?"

ry is nothing

Maura looked proud. "My boyfriend is the general manager of Roche Electronics. Such a small amount of money to him, unlike some drivers."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone cheered even louder, not caring about the implied meaning in her words. When Maeve noticed that among the people cheering were those she had a good friendship with, she immediately gave up on the intention of improving her relationship with them. Evan comforted her, saying, "Maura just speaks her mind. Maeve, just ignore her."

Maeve smiled faintly. "I didn't take it to heart. Thank you"Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Evan blushed and immediately turned to talk to someone

else.

Maura rolled her eyes again, thinking, 'She is already married, yet she still wants to seduce Evan. How despicable! Halfway through the meal, Maeve felt she had drunk too much and got up to go to the washroom.

She then heard people talking about her inside.

weren't you and Maeve close in the past? How come you didn't talk to her when you saw her just now?"

"Lily, wer

The girl who was questioned looked disdainful. "Oh please, I'm not close to her. She's a selfish person who only cares about climbing up the social ladder and marrying into a rich family. When we asked her to introduce us to her ex-boyfriend's circle and hang out together, she flatly refused."

"I know, right? It's not that we're fighting with her for a boyfriend. We just wanted to hook up with some rich kids. Is there a need for her to guard against us like we are thieves?"

"I think she's just really bad at reading the room and being tactful, which is why the scion of Graves Group dumped her "Serves her right. With her qualities, isn't being with a driver fitting?"

There was laughter and lively conversation inside. Maeve's heart felt cold and hurt by their every word.

The two people chatting were Lily Carter and Zoe Jackson, who were once her dorm mates and could be considered her best friends.

Maeve thought. They did make such requests back then, but my refusal wasn't because I was wary of them. It's because I didn't even get to mingle in Jeff's circle myself. Jeff treated me like an eye candy, controlling who I could be friends with and my messages, but he never introduced me to his friends. I find this matter somewhat hard to talk about, so I've never to them. Unexpectedly, they see things that way.

She lowered her gaze, pushed open the washroom door, walked in, and said, "You guys seem to be having a great time chatting."
