The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 230

"Betty, you're too exaggerating" Maeve chuckled. "The queen won't go to the extent of teaching her a lesson but

cutting off her company's business in Erancia at most. It's more in line with the queen's style." Back then, when

she first attended the national banquet of Francia, the son of a jewelry tycoon spoke disrespectfully to her and

even tried to dirt with her.

After the banquet, the royal family terminated their cooperation with that jewelry tycoon, and all jewelry and

diamonds within the territory were no longer sold to him. Subsequently, Maeve realized that the queen and

Loren had taken stern action against the jewelry tycoon to protect her and prevent others from looking down on

her. "You... don't think that this will scare me. What is the big deal about a queen's student? Do you really think

I'm someone who can be intimidated just like that?" The noble lady's legs were trembling as she stood. After

saying these words, she hurriedly left.

Maeve was amused. The noble lady turns out to bully the weak and fear the strong!"

"And you. Why didn't you ctowhen you were in trouble? Why did you let them bully you?" Mrs. Betty

Chatterly tapped Maeve's forehead and rebuked. Maere blinked. "Jaylen told you, did he? | didn't tell because |

was afraid of troubling you"

"Why are you treatinglike an outsider? Jaylen isn't in the country, of course, | have to take care of you for

him. Otherwise, he'll be anxious when he comes back."

When the noble lady by the side heard this, she immediately revealed an ambiguous expression "Mrs. Betty

Chatterly, could it be that your youngest son will have good news soon!"

"You're really good at hiding it. Don't forget to invite us to the wedding when the tcomes."

Your future daughter-in-law is not bad. Her looks and temperament are outstanding. That nouveau riche's family

is purely looking for trouble. They have to show off their superiority to everyone."

There were praises everywhere. The atmosphere was so harmonious that as if nothing had happened just now.

Maeve felt that Mrs. Betty Chatterly might have misunderstood something. However, she had just helped her

and was trying to assist her to gain a foothold in the industry. If she denied it at this point, Mrs. Betty Chatterly

might perceive her to be ungrateful. Therefore, she could only find an opportunity to explain it to her in the

future.

At the stime, on the viewing platform on the second floor, a tall and slender figure stood by the railing with

one hand in his pocket and a glass of wine in the other. His narrow eyes stared coldly downstairs,

Archer, following behind him, was about to break out in a cold sweat

How did he bump into Ms. Reese here? 'Macve's nhas been a taboo in the Mcdaniel family for the past four

years. No one dares to mention it.

"However, after not seeing her for four years, no one would expect Maeve to be together with the miracle doctor

of the Chatterly family. She has even received Mrs. Betty Chatterly's recognition. Judging from the fact Mr.

Mcdaniel was indifferent to the insults to Ms. Reese just now, he probably would not care who she would marry.

"Indeed, the world is full of changes, Archer thought. Byron retracted his gaze indifferently and placed the wine

glass in his hand on the table. Tell the driver to drive the car to

the downstairs,

"Alright, Mr. Mcdaniel, Archer replied, took out his phone, and contacted the driver. But after a few seconds,

Byron's voice suddenly went deep. "Wait a moment."

Yes, Mr. Mcdaniel?" Archer asked. However, after waiting for a long time, Byron did not give any

orders.

After Maeve exchanged contact information with those noble ladies downstairs, she went to the changing room

upstairs to change her soiled gown. Guests would usually be provided with clothes for change for this kind of

party.

The dress stuck uncomfortably to her chest. Marve walked into the cubicle and pulled down the zipper on her

back as she closed the door.

At this moment, a well-defined palm grabbed the edge of the door and forcefully opened the door before he

entered.

Maeve was shocked and retreated to the wall. She wanted to call for help but suddenly lost her voice when she

saw the man's familiar cold face. "Byron?"

Byron's tall and sturdy figure was extremely oppressive. The cubicle, which could only accommodate one person,

instantly beceven more cramped, making it rather difficult for one to turn around. Maeve's back was

pressed against the wall. For a moment, she could not move at all.

"Mr. Mcdaniel, it doesn't seem like a gentleman to barge into the lady's changing room without permission."

Maeve pretended to be calm as she looked at Byron. "Please go out, or | call for help."

Byron lowered his head slightly and looked at her mockingly. "What? Soon, you'll becthe young madam of

the Chatterly family, and you speak with confidence now!

"What do you mean?" Maeve asked.

Does Jaylen know how ruthless you are?" Byron lifted her chin His voice was bone-chilling. "Or were you two

already together four years ago!"

These words were undoubtedly a blatant humiliation. Maeve's eyes turned red from anger. She glared at him

angrily. "Stop slanderinghere!"

"Slander?" Byron sneered and tightened his grip. "Looks like you've been cultivating well for the past four years.

No matter what you do, you act like someone owes you a favor. It's really disgusting

Maeve's chin hurt slightly. When she heard him say "disgusting, she clenched her fists uncontrollably. "What right

do you have to make such a comment on me? Gilbert will wake up one day, Why are you so sure I'm the culprit?

Why must you humiliatelike this?" Hatred filled Maeve's heart. Her tone carried a hint of ferociousness. "I'm

disgusting? Alright, let's see who's more disgusting"

After saying that, she stood on her tiptoes and grabbed Byron'sto pull his head down. Then, she kissed his

cold lips accurately in a fit of anger.

Byron's pupils constricted. He did not expect her to do such a thing suddenly. His body stood there stifly, and he

forgot to push her away for a moment

Maeve bit his lips furiously. It was purely out of anger as she nibbled randomly. She was as if wanting to chew

him up and swallow him. It was all out of feelings.

A trace of clarity appeared in Byron's slightly unfocused brown eyes. Then, he held her shoulders and pushed her

forcefully to the wall

He frowned deeply and wiped the corner of his lips. His gaze other was so cold that there was no slightest trace

of warmth.

"Maeve, are you courting death? Byron asked.

95% 1

Maeve leaned against the wall without any fear. She smiled at him arrogantly. "Mr. Mcdaniel, not only did I kiss

you just now, but I also bit you. Wouldn't you be disgusted to death?"

'Since you said that I'm disgusting. | would show you how. Let's be disgusting together; who cares? Maeve

thought.

Byron's lips revealed a cold smile. His gaze was like a deep sea vertex, getting increasingly gloomier,

Maeve did not want to be entangled with him anymore. She held her back with the open gown and walked out

from his side. However, just as she reached the door, her arm was suddenly grabbed by a large hand. Maeve was

caught off guard and was pulled over. Her back hit the cold and hard wall and she felt a faint pain.

Before she could question him, Byron's body full of danger suddenly approached her and blocked her in a corner,

leaving her no room for movement.

"You want to leave after disgusting me? His voice was cold. "Can you do so?"

Maeve was stunned as she looked up shockingly. The next moment, Byron raised her chin forcefully and kissed

her hard with suppressed anger.
