Chapter 165 Levi raised his hand, and the staff beside him promptly cleared away the dirty dishes in front of Maeve and replaced them with a clean set..
"Ms. Scott, please enjoy," Levi said, taking his seat at the head of the table.

Levi suddenly put down his cutlery and said, "I have something to attend to. I'll have Sheldon take Ms. Scott around the courtyard later to relax." Maeve nodded. "Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Hackett.” "Levi, don't worry. I'll take care of Maeve. She won't get lost." Levi didn't respond, and the bodyguards ushered him into the elevator, heading upstairs.
Maeve finally breathed a sigh of relief once Levi left. She couldn't enjoy her food at all with Levi around, and everything she ate tasted bland.
"Levi is very gentle. You don't need to be afraid." Gentle? Maeve felt that Levi had an aura that kept outsiders at a distance.
Ever since the last Hackett family jewelry banquet, when Levi threw that socialite down from the second floor, she had vowed to stay far away from this man.
She didn't know when Levi would consider her a dangerous person that had to be dealt with quickly. "I'm full," Maeve said, placing her cutlery down.
She glanced at the old-fashioned clock hanging on the wall. There were still ten hours left before the masquerade ball began.
As they strolled around the courtyard, Maeve casually asked, “Did you receive a badge yesterday?" "What badge?" Sheldon frowned. "I haven't heard about it.” Maeve pondered. If Sheldon didn't know about it, then the badge should be in Levi's possession now. "Why do you ask about that?" "Both Lyra and I received this badge. The Mirage Group is hosting a masquerade ball tonight. Since it's your birthday, I was thinking maybe we could go together?" "That's no big deal. If you want to go, I'll accompany you." Maeve didn't expect Sheldon to agree so easily. Suddenly, she felt a surge of guilt.
While she was indeed using him, she didn't harbor any ill intentions. If Sheldon blamed her later, she Chapter Tes would apologize and make amends.

In the afternoon, the Hackett Manor's foyer was elaborately decorated Sheldon usually only had drinking buddies and rarely hosted birthday parties. That evening, many affluent youngsters from the business circle came. Most had brought gifts to celebrate Sheldon's birthday.
However, Sheldon paid no attention to any of them. They were merely there because they wanted to cozy up to him. In reality, Sheldon didn't even know who these people were.
Maeve sat in her seat, occasionally checking the time. The masquerade ball had begun, and she was contemplating how to find the right moment to take Sheldon away. But then she noticed the bodyguard who had been following Levi approaching them. Chapter 166 Hot Singles Are Looking For Older Men X
