Chapter 424
Tomorrow’s meeting with Marve felt like two enemies locking eyes.
Conner glanced at the TV news covering Hailey’s mall incident and shrugged. “Just ignore her,” he said casually.
Meanwhile, Maeve was busy on her phone in the car. Charlie watched her through the rearview mirror and couldn’t resist asking, “Ms. Scott, you’ve been busy since we got in. What are you up to?
“I’m posting something”
Maeve raised an eyebrow. “Can you big influencers help me boost the buzz online?”
“What post?” Lyra, ever the gossip enthusiast, immediately pulled out her phone
Then, she saw on Facebook that Maeve had anonymously posted some explosive news implicating Clara in Bryce’s car accident. The post included nine photos as solid evidence, sparking a flurry of conspiracy theories in the comments.
Soon enough, someone pieced together a story based on Meeve’s post.
Rumors swirled that Clara, amidst her feud with Maeve, had targeted Bryce to sabotage Maeve’s reputation Some even implicated the Jefferson family, suggesting Conner, deeply infatuated with Clara, might have been involved.
Combining it with some business conflicts, they concluded that Conner was behind it all. In short, Conner and Clara were at the top of the suspect list
Just as the buzz peaked, Maeve released an audio recording of Clara hiring someone to orchestrate the car accident.
Days earlier, Maeve had Zayla track down the person who tampered with Bryce’s car. The culprit was a cunning individual who had recorded the act, thus saving crucial evidence. Once Maeve’s post went viral, it set off a storm.
Seeing this, Charlie couldn’t help but shake his head. “You demanded five billion from her, and now you’re going after her once the money’s in. Tsk, who will settle things with you privately after this?”
“But it wasn’t posted under my name. How could they prove 1 did it?”
Charlie sighed, “You picked this up from Zion, didn’t you? Ms. Scott, you should know better. Zion’s a real troublemaker. A beauty like you shouldn’t be influenced by him!”
Zion lightly kicked the driver’s seat and remarked, “Keep your eyes on the read.”
Charbe had to bite his tongue to salvage Zion’s reputation. After all, he couldn’t match Zion’s skills,
As they reached the Royal Hotel, Charlie snuck ahead of them.
Lyra leaned closer to Maeve and whispered, “Listen, no matter what happens next, make sure to act surprised.”
“Did Charlie prepare these?”
“Yeah,” Lyra whispered back, “He loves to show off, hence the grand gestures.”
“Alright, I’m mentally prepared. Despite her resolve, Marve immediately lost her composure when charlie snapped his fingers.
Suddenly, the wedding march led the banquet hall, and spotlights illuminated Marve and Zion
Marve struggled to force a smile. After a long moment, her face froze into a strained grin.
With flowers lining the aisle and floral arches, Charlie had transformed the empty hall into a wedding scene.
Lyra reluctantly clapped and said, “Marvel Happy birthday!”
