Chapter 294
Charlie looked around anxiously and made
sure that nobody was paying attention to them.
Aunt Lyra, let’s head inside. And stop asking
He grabbed Lyra’s arm and pulled her toward the entrance of Spencer Manor. “Come on, questions!”
“You’d better explain everything to me clearly!”
Unbeknownst to them, Maeve, who was sitting in her car nearby, had overheard their conversation.
She rolled down the window and noticed Zayla drenched in cold sweat.
After a moment of silence, Zayla cautiously asked, “Would you like to get out of the car, Ms. Scott?”
Maeve remained silent.
Judging from Charlie’s and Lyra’s reactions, it was clear that Zion and Serena were in a relationship.
“Let’s go!
“Yes, Ms. Scott.”
Marve was dressed in a wine–red gown today, and her long black hair cascaded down her waist. Silver tassels dangled from her ears, adding to her exquisite appearance.
As soon as she stepped out of the car, Maeve attracted a lot of attention.
“Isn’t that Ms. Scott? What’s she doing here?”
“Don’t you know the news? She’s narrowly escaped death and divorced Mr. Brooks.”
“She’s attending the ceremony at a time like this, and she’s dressed so extravagantly too… She’s quite audacious, isn’t she?”
The noblewomen whispered among themselves.
Outside Spencer Manor, a security guard extended his hand. “Please show me your invitation.”
Zayla retrieved the invitation on behalf of Marve, However, the invitation was addressed to Zachary, the president of Mirage Group.
The guard frowned and glanced at Maeve with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
“Mr. Davenport has other matters to attend to, so he’s sent Ms. Scott to attend the ceremony on his behalf.”
Upon hearing this, the guard reluctantly allowed them to pass.
However, this sparked a lot of gossip around them.
The guests found it unusual for a woman who was about to divorce her husband to be so close to another man,
In the hall, everyone’s attention was drawn to Marve,
Lyra, who had been arguing with Charlie, fell silent the moment she saw Maeve enter.
“M–Mavy…” Lyra was stunned.
“Lyra, long time no see, Maeve greeted Lyra with a smile.
“It’s… It’s been a while..” Lyra was surprised to see Maeve there
She quickly realized what was happening and rushed to Maeve’s side, taking her arm anxiously. “Mavy, what brings you here? Why didn’t you tell me that you’ll be here beforehand?”
“You guys didn’t give me a heads–up either, did you? Charlie?”
Charlie turned around nervously as he heard his name being called out.
“L.. I forgot, I guess,” he stammered, unable to say anything else.
Maeve continued, “I’ve come uninvited, and you seem a little displeased, Mr. Foster.”
“How could I be?” Charlie hurriedly replied. “Tim delighted to have you here!”
Soon, Charlie’s voice trailed off “I mean it’s just not the right timing.”
Lyra shot Charlie a piercing look. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
At that instant, the surrounding Eights dimmed. Zion emerged from the shadows and wallked onto the stage.
Serena walled beside him with her hand around his arm
