When Maeve heard that it was the daughter of the Booth family and the secretary of the Mcdaniel Group's CEO,

she immediately thought of Karen, but to be sure, she still asked, "What's her name?"

Leah said without hesitation, "Karen Booth

Maeve nodded.

on't forget this name.

Just as what she had expected, it was indeed Karen.

Previously, the designers in the office had mentioned that Finesse Bloom was related to the Booth family, but

Maeve did not pay attention at that time.

Unexpectedly, it was a brand founded by Karen, who had poached Eternal Hope's design team, plagiarized their

designs, and even made a nfor herself in the industry, which showed that she was indeed capable.

Maeve frowned and thought, 'After Trend Style Magazine replaced me, the who took over happen to be Finesse

Bloom's designer. How could there be such a coincidence? Did Karen kidnapback then not only for personal

revenge but also for this reason?’ "Maeve, what are you thinking about?" Leah looked at Maeve who was in a

daze. She reached out and patted her shoulder. "Are you still going to make Miss Fiora's gown?"

Maeve immediately stopped pondering. "I'm about to go to the studio. I'll finish it by the 10th of next month at

the latest."

interview. There will still be opportunities in the future."

Leah said, "Alright. Forget about the

Maeve smiled at her. "I know."

However, she knew very well that there probably wouldn't be another interview for her.

It was useless to be disappointed and sad. She might as well do the job at hand.

Leah looked at the wound on her face and felt sorry for her. However, she did not ask anything and left in her

high heels.

Only then did Maeve take her things to the studio. She even searched for the latest developments on the official

website of Finesse Bloom.

Unexpectedly, she saw that a princess of Erancia's royal family had also ordered a custom-made gown at Finesse

Bloom. Maeve logged out to search for relevant information about Erancia's royal family, but she only found

sporadic relevant information. The current queen

has two sons, both Fiora and Loren were her eldest son's kids.

The princess was also not to be underestimated. She was the queen's cousin and had never been on good terms

with Fiora, which had been on the international news.

From the looks of it, both the queen and the princess planned to suppress the other at the state banquet.

Maeve's eyes gradually calmed down.

Legally, she could not do anything to Karen.

However,

it

was not impossible for her to get sinterest through other means.

For the next few days, Maeve was busy in the studio. She even had lunch there, saving her a lot of time. Chapter

When she finally had tto take a break, her phone suddenly rang.

Maeve was stunned for a long twhen she saw the caller ID.

She answered it and said, "Mom?"

"Maeve, what have you been busy with recently? You didn't even call home," Valda rebuked over the phone.

"Your brother is back from vacation. If you have time, chfor a family meal." Perhaps because Maeve

had not spoken to Valda for a long time, she was not used to her mother's gentle tone.

Thinking that she had indeed not been hfor a long time, she agreed, "I'll be htonight after work." Valda

said, "Alright. Don't forget to take your husband with you."

Maeve was stunned. She pursed her lips slightly. "He's been very busy recently. He might not be free."

In the past few days, apart from eating, they rarely saw each other even when they were in the splace.

Coupled with the fact that she deliberately avoided him, even the tthey spent talking was little.

Valda did not keep asking. She replied with an "Alright" and hung up.

Maeve stood in front of the workbench and went into a daze. Then, she rubbed her cheeks and perked up to

continue working on the folds of the gown.

The creases made by tools were too stiff and not as natural as the ones made by hand, so she always did the

work herself.

After work in the evening, Maeve took a taxi to the Reese family's place. When she was changing her shoes at

the entrance, her shoulder was suddenly knocked hard.

She looked up in shock and saw Horace in a yellow sweater and torn jeans walking over with an arrogant

expression. He ignored her and walked in.

Maeve called out to him, "Horace, is this how you greet me? I'm your sister."

Horace stopped and turned to scoff at her. "Stop trying to suppressjust because you're older than me. You're

nothing."

After saying that, he put his hands in his pockets and continued walking. His pace was crooked and he looked like

a hooligan.

Maeve frowned. She couldn't figure out why he was becoming more and more rebellious after entering high

school since Horace was clearly quite well-behaved when he was a kid.

After entering the dining room, Maeve mentioned this matter to her parents. She wanted them to pay more

attention to Horace's educational problems.

Valda didn't mind. "Which boy isn't rebellious? Horace will be sensible when he grows up."

"As an elder sister, why should you argue with your younger brother?" Scott agreed with Valda's opinion. "Horace

is just a bit straightforward. He doesn't have any bad intentions." -Hearing this, Maeve was rendered speechless.

She wondered, 'He's already in his third year of high school. If he still doesn't know things better now, when will

he learn?

She was about to say something when the chair she was sitting on was suddenly kicked from behind, making her

scalp tingle.

She turned around and saw Horace rolling his eyes at her. Then, he sat beside Valda and took out his phone

while instructing, "Mom, helpget my food."

The corners of Maeve's mouth twitched. "You're already in your third year of high school. Haven't you learned

how to get your food? Do you need Mom to put it into your mouth directly?" Horace said, "None of your

business."

Maeve was really furious. She turned around and found it unbelievable that Valda had already got the food for

him and walked over with a smile.

Maeve said, "Mom, he's not a kid anymore. It's tfor him to learn to be independent."

"Horace is still young. He'll always be a kid to me." Valda looked at her disapprovingly. "Why do you have so

many opinions about your brother today? Hurry up and eat. We need to tell you something later." Maeve

subconsciously asked, "What is it?"

"Let's eat first." Scott folded the evening newspaper and said, "Horace, it's tto eat. Put down your phone

now."

Horace pouted. "Dad, Mom, why can't you tell her now? Are you worried that she'll lose her appetite when she

finds out? Anyway, she's our cash cow. Just be direct to her."

As soon as he said this, Maeve's expression changed.

Valda realized this and patted Horace lightly. "Horace, what nonsense are you talking about? She's your sister."

"Sister my ass." Horace looked disdainful. "Didn't you guys always say that she was just an adopted girl?" Scott

frowned and scolded, "Shut up!"

Only then did Horace stop talking back. He picked up a piece of braised pork and started eating.

"Maeve, Horace is just kidding with you. Don't take it to heart," Valda said.

Maeve's lips twitched. For a moment, she lost her appetite.

If it wasn't for their parents nagging at Horace every day, how could he blurt out that she was their cash cow?

It turned out that in their opinion, the money she sent to her family every month was not to show filial piety to

her parents as a daughter.

Instead, they saw her as their cash cow.

"Just say what you need to tellnow. I'll be off soon," Maeve said calmly.

Valda and Scott looked at each other before saying, "It's like this. Your brother was bullied by his classmate in

school and accidentally injured the kid's eyes. His parents now want us to compensate them. Otherwise, they will

call the police to deal with this..." SEND GIFT
