“Byron and Lynn are getting married,” Alexis’s voice, filled with a wave of twisted anger, came from behind Maeve. “Ms. Reese, no matter how skilled you are. Byron won’t marry you. If you’re willing to spend your life as his hidden mistress, I must commend your courage, you’ve discarded any sense of pride” The mention of the wedding made Maeve’s heart feel as if it had been gripped tightly. She turned around with a faint smilewith П and looked at Alexis. “Are you telling me this, Mrs. Mcdaniel, hoping I’ll bring a gift? Don’t worry, I’ll show up generous present to celebrate Mr. Mcdaniel’s-happy second chapter.Alexis’s expression darkened immediately, her anger boiling over as she ordered the driver, “Let’s go!””Yes, sure, the driver replied.Maeve’s smile gradually faded, and the corners of her eyes drooped slightly as she silently walked toward the parking lot. She had already known that Byron was going to marry Lynn. Nothing was surprising about it, and it didn’t matter to her anymore.As long as she could get the antidote to Gilbert, she would no longer have ties to the Mcdaniel family once he woke up. After driving to the sanatorium, Maeve headed straight upstairsMeanwhile, at a business banquet, Jason and Alexis publicly announced the wedding dates of Byron and Lynn in front of numerous guests and media. The wedding was set for the tenth of next month.The news caused major social media platforms to crash for half an hour, and this announcement was one of the top five trending topics.The Mcdaniel Group dominated a significant portion of the domestic industry, with subsidiaries scattered around the globe. As the group’s current president, Byron was not only wealthy and young. Still, he had also stolen the spotlight a few years back with airport photos that showcased his striking looks and commanding presence, overshadowing even the hottest male celebrities.His personal life had always been a focal point for gossip, and now that news of his impending marriage had surfaced, not only was the online community buzzing, but the company’s stock prices also began to fluctuate in response to the excitementTheo was nearly beside himself with anger. With his little voice full of frustration, he called Will and shouted, “He’s about to marry someone else, and you’re still hanging around him? Just kick him to the curb and come live with us! I’m not trying to scare you, but it’s a well- known fact: where there’s a stepmother, there’s a stepfather!”Will held the phone a bit farther away from his ear. “Hold on, don’t panic. The media loves to spread rumors; they could be mistaken. I’ll ask Daddy when he gets home.”As soon as he finished speaking. Will spotted Byron walking through the entrance. He quickly ran over and said, “Daddy, everyone online is discussing you marrying Miss Anderson.” Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Findηøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Ads by PubFuture Byron’s expression was unreadable as he asked calmly, “What’s the matter?”Will stood frozen, saying, “But I don’t want you to marry her”This is an adult matter; kids shouldn’t get involved,” Byron said.A moment of sadness flashed in Will’s eyes, but he ultimately said nothing and turned to run upstairs. Byron pressed his fingers to his aching brow, a faint glint of coldness passing through his deep eyes.After overhearing their conversation, Theo felt frustrated and threw his phone aside. He then headed out to find Maeve. Meanwhile, the news segment about the wedding was playing on the television. BMaeve sat cross-legged on the carpet, snacking on an orange while watching television.Theo cautiously edged over and asked, “Mommy, how are you feeling right now?””It’s okay.” Maeve said, popping a piece of orange into her mouth as she watched the news. “Wealthy people know how to make a splash when they get married, right?” Her tone was calm, as if she were commenting on someone else’s life, detached from her emotions. Theo thought momentarily and suggested, “Mommy, if you can’t stand that wealthy guy, how about asking Loren for some new weapons to blow up his wedding venue?”Maeve nearly choked on the orange. “Where does Loren get all these strange things”Mommy, don’t you remember? He is the in-charge of Weapons Factory 011″”Stop hanging out with him; he’s too dangerous,” Maeve said.Theo tugged at her sleeve and asked, “Mommy, you still haven’t said whether we should blow up his wedding venue?”He thought, “As long as Mommy wants it, I’ll start immediately! And I can make sure there are no traces left!Maeve slowly munched on her orange and replied, “Let’s not, okay? There are so many wealthy people, we can’t possibly blow them all up.”Theo felt a surge of anxiety. He thought, “Why does Mommy seem so calm? Is it because she’s too sad to show any emotion? “Mommy, just let me know anytime if you want to blow something up,” Theo said sternly.Maeve gently patted his head, saying, “Alright, that’s someone else’s business; it has nothing to do with us, so let’s not worry about it. Little did she know, this situation would become more relevant to her than she expected,The next day, Alexis and Lynn came to the studio to order a wedding dress, explicitly requesting Maeve to handle it. They were there to flaunt their engagement and assert dominance.”I’m sorry,but the wedding dresses at Dreamscape are handmade, and the production time is quite lengthy. We only take one order every two months, and other clients have already booked my slots,” Maeve calmly declined. “I’m afraid I won’t be able to serve you this time. Perhaps you could come back for your next wedding?”Alexis and Lynn’s faces turned pale. Alexis thought, Next wedding? What does she mean by that!””You might be the first to chase away customers like us. What, do you think we’re not worthy of your service?” Alexis retorted aggressively.With a gentle smile, Maeve replied. “If you don’t believe me, Mrs. Mcdaniel, you can check our appointment list. It has a record of events. It’s not that I’m refusing service; it’s just that I’m genuinely unable to accommodate you.”Lynn glanced at the list by Paige and whispered to Alexis, Alexis, it seems like she’s telling the truth.”Alexis lifted her chin and said, “Then what about the gowns? I want to order a few custom-made dresses for Lynn on the wedding day.””Ms. Reese’s gown orders for this month are also fully booked, Mrs. Mcdaniel. Would you like to consider having another designer take care of it?” Paige explainedAlexis was immediately furious. “Both the wedding dress and gown are fully booked. What exactly is your studio doing? Are you deliberately going against us?””Alexis,” Lynn said with a chuckle, ‘you’ll have plenty to talk about with those wealthy ladies over a chat next time.”1Maeve noticed the underlying threat in her words and narrowed her bright eyes slightly, formulating a plan. “If Miss Anderson and Mrs. Mcdaniel insist on having me design for them, considering Mr. Mcdaniel’s account, I suppose I should extend a courtesy to both of you” Alexis snorted. “At least you know how to be sensible. Then, Lynn’s wedding dress will be your responsibility, and you must ensure it meets her satisfaction”Lynn realized that Alexis was making things difficult for Maeve, so she cleverly started listing many requirements.Maeve smiled and nodded, then stood up. “Miss Anderson, let’s make your measurements now.”Lynn paused and glanced at Alexis, “Alexis…”Go ahead. Alexis nodded at her. “With me here, she won’t dare to bully you.”Lynn bit her lip and reluctantly followed Maeve into the fitting room. Maeve took a measuring tape and told the visibly nervous Lynn. “Take off your jacket, stretch your arms out, and stand up straight. Also, pull down your collar for your neck circumference measurement.”08,97%
