Chapter 359
Philip knew his plan would fail when he saw the bodyguards.
The ashtray in his hand fell to the ground, and he said, “Mavy, aren’t you going to help me?”
“Uncle Phil, you have to pay for the mistake you made.”
Maeve looked at Philip before him. The last bit of affection in her gaze vanished, too.
“Maeve Scott! I’m your uncle! You’ll have no one left if I get sent to prison!
“Why would Patrick have such a heartless daughter like you? James should’ve killed you back then!”
The sound of Philip cursing kept coming from her back. Maeve felt numb as she listened to his curses.
Lyra and Zayla rushed in from outside. Maeve forced a faint smile when she saw the two. “Why are you here?”
Zayla replied, “We rushed here as soon as we received the news.”
Maeve questioned, “What news?”
Lyra replied, “Mr. Hackett told us to pick you up.”
“Levi Hackett?”
Maeve hadn’t expected Levi to help her to this extent. She thought she should find a chance to thank Levi.
Lyra, who stood at the side, said, “I noticed something was wrong with this man long ago, so I told Ms. Bellingham to look into it secretly. We found something amiss as expected. The night when you were caught, the financial department was on fire.

After a series of events that day, she no longer had a family.
The same afternoon, the news of Philip misusing company funds and setting his niece up spread wildly over the internet. It was an intense fight in the wealthy family. Public opinion had changed, too. The netizens felt bad for Maeve for having a ruthless uncle like Philip.
Maeve sat alone in the empty Scott Manor, yet she didn’t feel happy when she saw the news.
Outside the house, someone knocked on the door vigorously. When the housekeeper opened the door, she was pushed away by Sharon and James.
The two entered the house. Sharon rushed forward and yelled at Maeve, “Maeve Scott! Do you have a conscience? Your uncle has been treating you so well! How could you make him take the blame for you?”
“My dad must be blind to keep defending you! Maeve Scott, are you heartless?”
James looked menacing like he always did. But since Zion had taught him a lesson previously, he could only scream at Maeve and dared not do anything.
Maeve seemed calm as she asked coldly, “Where is the security guard?”
The security guard rushed in. With his head hung low, he apologized, “Ms. Scott, it was my mistake that I didn’t keep an eye on Mrs. Scott. She insisted on coming in
