Chapter 43
As the sille on Marve’s face gradually disappeared, Sheldon felt an immense sense of pleasure in his heart.
But in the next second, Marve smiled again, saying, “I never thought you could be so childish.”
Sheldon frowned. “What are you saying?”
“If you really bad the courage to touch me, would you still have asked someone to bring me here?”
Maeve gently pushed Sheldon away and casually walked around the private room.
“There’s no camera here, and it’s noisy outside. No one will notice this small private room. You’re afraid that Sergio or Levi will find out about your meeting with me, so how can you dare to touch me here?”
Maeve sat down on the sofa and took a bite of an apple.
She had been in and out of places like this before, where the secrecy level of these private rooms was top–notch. Usually, big shots made deals here, and not even a fly could fly out, let alone any leaks.
Maeve looked at Sheldon. “Mr. Hackett, put away your childish thoughts of threatening me. You can’t scare me.
This was nothing compared to the last time Devon Brady kidnapped her
Sheldon’s expression changed in an instant. He grew somewhat gloomy because of Maew’s provocation.
“Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to do anything to you?”
“I’m right here. Do whatever you want.” Maeve was not afraid of Sheldon’s threats.
As long as she was still
till Sergio’s wife, even if Sheldon had a hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare do anything to her.
Just as she expected, after a while, Sheldon still didn’t make a move.
Maeve didn’t want to push him too hard. She said, “I admit, the first time I saw you I knew you were Sheldon Hackett, but I didn’t do that to get your attention. I just thought it was a pity that your talent was buried, so I wanted to use reverse psychology to make you come to Amenam University to study.”
Marve’s words were hall true and half false.
So I have?
Sheldon could also bear that Marve was giving him a way out, but he soon asked back, “My talent? What talent do I
Everyone in Seathburn City knew that the second son of the Hackett family was a playboy. He was very rebellious, so his brother Levi had no choice but to send him abroad for training to tame his temper.
Playboys were often dismissed by others as good–for–nothing and useless. No one would think Sheldon had any talent.
Maeve said, “Just by glancing at my test paper during the exam, you knew I intentionally skipped the last question. This means you knew the answer but chose not to do the questions. You can read people and understand my thoughts, which is enough to prove that you are very capable, but you don’t want to show it.”
Maeve’s words made Sheldon’s anger subside a lot.
He sat next to her and drank up the wine, asking. “Anything else?”
“I guess you think that the Hackett family already has your brother, so that’s enough.”
Maeve propped her cheek up with her hand and said, “It seems the rumors about you and your brother not getting along well are false. Actually, you love your brother.”
Sheldon’s parents passed away early, and Levi took charge of the Hackett family at the age of seventeen. It had been ten years. Levi was like a father to Sheldon. It was hard to believe that there could be discord between Sheldon and Levi, who had always sheltered Sheldon.
Marve still remembered that in her previous life, when Levi passed away, Sheldon knelt in front of the grave for seven days and seven nights On the eighth day, when Sheldon came out of the graveyard, he was like a different person. Later, Sheldon took control of the Hackett family His methods were vigorous and resolute, which shocked the entire Seathburn City at that time.
It could be seen that the relationship between these two brothers was very close. It just wasn’t well known to outsiders.
Perhaps because Marve had guessed his thoughts, Sheldon tumed his head and said, “Don’t think you know me well,”
*I don’t know. I’m just saying ”
Marve stood up and said, “Alright, Mr. Hackett, I’ve been here long enough. Can I go back now?”
“stay put.”
Sheldon frowned, clearly not intending to let Marve leave so soon.
Marve asked, “You’ve threatened and retaliated against me What else do you want?”
