The Heir's Secret Bride

The matter of the sample clothes was finally resolved. The weight on Maeve's shoulders was finally lifted.

However, she felt vexed when she thought about Jeff and Ava working together. She hated how Jeff made things difficult for her constantly. If the Eternal Hope were just a small company like her previous company, she would probably still be manipulated by him. Maeve felt extremely frustrated. Coincidentally, Jeff called. After letting him out of the blacklist last time, she had forgotten to pull him back on it. Maeve wanted to hang up, but she suddenly felt annoyed. She thought, "Why should I hide? Besides, how long can I hide

for?

With that thought in mind, Maeve answered the call. "Jeff, let's talk over dinner."

Maeve arrived at The Muse at 7:00 PM. After she spoke to the receptionist, she was brought to a private area on the second

floor.

Jeff was already waiting. He even wore a white suit and held a bouquet of bright red roses. When he saw her, he smiled gently and handed the bouquet to her. "Maeve, these flowers go well with your looks. Here you go."

Maeve sat down without looking at the flowers and went straight to the point. Jeff, you know I'm already married, right?" Jeff's hand that was holding the flowers froze. He was extremely embarrassed. A trace of viciousness flashed across his eyes. He smiled at her words. "I know. You don't want to marry me, so you lied to your parents about being married, right?" Maeve frowned. "It's not a pretense. I'm really married." "Don't lie. You told your parents you wanted to bring your husband home for dinner last time, but what happened in the end?" Jeff put his arm on the table and shook his head, smiling. Besides, even if you're married, what will you get by being with someone like your husband?" He husbar snapped his fingers then

Ten waiters walked down the stairs, balancing trays singlehandedly. On the trays were expensive jewelry, branded bags, and even a property deed for a villa

Jeff raised his chin and smiled even more proudly. "Maeve, if you reconcile with me, all these will be yours. But if you stay with that poor driver husband of yours, what else will you get other than suffering? Is he able to provide you as comfortably as me, or make you proud when you go out? Maeve, marriage is a gamble. If you're not careful, you'll lose everything." His tone was meaningful. Maeve's expression darkened bit by bit.

At the same time, a group walked over from the circular corridor. Byron was in the lead, his expression aloof. His suit was crisply ironed, and he strode at the front with one hand in his pocket. He exuded a powerful aura as though he was a king.

His dark eyes appeared otherwordly. They were cold and lofty. However, no one would think that he was arrogant. Instead, they felt it was right.

The elite executive behind Byron smiled as he introduced, 'Mr. Mcdaniel, there are many specialties you can try in this restaurant. You won't be disappointed.." Byron hummed indifferently. He was not very interested. 08-18 Sat,

Suddenly, a familiar voice cume from the private seating in front. "Jeff, did you lose so badly at the George family's party that you lost your brain too? Is that why you think I'm as dumb as you?"

Byron

I in his tracks and suddenly looked in the direction of the voice. expected, he saw Maeve sitting there, but without her usual grace. She was looking at the man opposite her mockingly.

Maeve, don't throw a tantrum, Jeff smiled tolerantly, Marrying me will not only elevate your status immediately but your parents too. Your driver husband doesn't even dare to meet your parents. How am I inferior to him?"

No matter how lousy Jeff was, he was still the son of the Graves family. The poor driver was nothing compared to him. Jeff could crush the driver easily.

he's "You're nothing compared to my husband!" Maeve took a deep breath. "I don't care if he is a driver or a beggar. To me, the best. He might be poor, but he is already better than those who are rich. So, Jeff, even if you bring me all the treasures in the world, I will never give up my husband for you Maeve

could not continue lying so she simply stood up. She looked at Jeff's stunned face and continued to disgust him, "If you pester me again and cause trouble for me secretly, I don't mind letting everyone know that you like ruining marriages and playing the lover." On that note, Maeve picked up her bag and walked past the row of waiters without looking back, heading downstairs.

Jeff was stunned by Maeve's retort. When he came back to his senses, she was already gone. He felt angry and defeated. He refused to believe he would fail to conquer her the second time when he had done it before.

Byron, who had seen everything, chuckled softly. Joy surged in him, filling his usually cold eyes with a mischievous smule. He didn't realize until now that he was so important to Maeve. She had even said she would never give him up for all the treasures in the world. Still, Byron clucked his tongue and thought, 'How lovey-dovey of her.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

The others keenly sensed the change in Byron's mood and guessed that it might be related to the couple who had quarreled at the table just now. Hence, they pondered before speaking up.

A man said, "If you ask me, that man is shameless. The woman is already married, but he still tries to seduce her with jewelry and real estate. He's trying to ruin her marriage and getting her to cheat with him." The female executive beside him also added, "Fortunately, the woman is firm and not corrupted by his money Looks like she really loves her husband."

Another chimed in, "This is so beautiful. She wasn't even tempted by the Lakeside Estate villa with a lake view

Hearing this, Byron's thin lips curled up slightly. He scoffed inwardly. Those were just a pile of useless papers. They weren't even presentable. It was ridiculous for Jeff to try to trick Maeve with that.

When Maeve left The Muse, she recalled what she had just said to Jeff and felt her cheeks heat up. Although she used Byron as a cover to stop Jeff from having any designs on her again, she felt guilty. Maeve comforted herself by telling herself it was nothing. Byron would never know about it. He wouldn't be able to find trouble with her.

Relieved, she went to buy a drink and ate street food for dinner before returning to her apartment.

Byron was not back yet so the house was silent.

Maeve went to the balcony to take a look at her vegetables. She watered them before going to take a shower. After that, she tidied up the fabrics and accessories she had bought before and prepared to sleep.

However, her stomach soon started hurting. She could not even lie still. Her face was pale as she arched her body on the bed, gasping in pain.

Maeve did not know if she had caten something bad or if it was because of her period, but her entire abdomen was spasming in unbearable agony.
