In the Mcdaniel Group, the secretary panicked for a moment when she saw Maeveing over. "Ms. Reese, Mr. Mcdaniel has something on now. Could youe overter?" "Is he busy?" Maeve asked curiously. "N-not really..." The secretary was hesitant.


    Maeve''s eyes curved up. "That''s fine. He asked me to go in directly. He shouldn''t me me. Thank you for reminding me." The secretary sighed and watched her leave. She had tried her best.


    In the office, Karen stood by the desk and cried pitifully, tears falling down endlessly. No man could help but feel pity for


    her.


    Byron did not even look up. The piles of documents were getting thinner with his enormous efficiency.


    Karen, who had been crying for almost half an hour, felt kind of helpless as if she was winking at a blind person.


    "Byron, Finesse Bloom is apany that my father funded for me. I don''t want to see it destroyed like this. Can you help me?" Karen begged weakly.


    Byron signed the document swiftly and said indifferently, "Your father dotes on you very much."


    Karen hurriedly nodded. "Yes, my father definitely doesn''t want to see...


    Byron interrupted her. "Now that he dotes on you so much, he probably won''t fuss over such a small matter."


    Karen choked and her tears fell even more miserably. "Can''t you just help me? As long as I have your words, Finesse Bloom can get through this difficult time...

    "1,


    paused slightly. "After you came out of the basement, did you apologize to Maeve?"


    have I been locked up by you for so long, right?" Karen bit her lips. "I know my mistake now."


    "Then you didn''t." Byron''s eyelids lifted slightly as he looked at her coldly. "What identity are you using to ask me for help now? My secretary, or Patrick Booth''s daughter?" Before Karen could answer, Byron added coldly, "No matter what your identity is, I don''t think there''s a need for me to offend my wife for you."


    "Your wife? Karen''s eyes widened as she felt burning jealousy in her heart. You just admitted that she is your wife? And y even refused to help me just for that b***h? What? That''s not fair Karen took a deep breath. "You promised my father you''d take good care of me. Have you forgotten that


    "The fact that you can still stay in thepany is my greatest tolerance for you." Byron''s thin lips curled up coldly. "You should know very well how much I hate people who push their luck." Karen''s entire body turned freezing cold.


    Suddenly, a faint beeping sound came from the sensor door of the office


    you


    Karen nced at Maeve''s figure from the corner of her eye. The jealousy in her eyes instantly erupted to its new peak. She immediately leaned against Byron and hooked her arms around his neck, in an attempt to kiss his lips. Byron coldly avoided it. Then, he stood up and pushed her away forcefully.


    Just as he was about to question her, Maeve walked over and looked at them in a daze.


    Byron narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "No matter what you''re thinking now, it''s not like that."


    Maeve''s eyes turned moist and she almost wanted tough somehow.


    "Looks like I''ve disturbed you? Maeve lowered her eyes and said softly, "I''m here to deliver the suit. I''ll leave now. Enjoy your


    time


    She put the bag on the sofa and turned to leave quickly.


    Byron''s Adam''s apple bobbed. His cold and oppressive gazended on Karen. "Did you do it on purpose just now?"


    Karen exined with a sobbing tone. I''ve been feeling unwell recently. I just suddenly cked out and fainted." Thinking of Maeve''s expression just now, she felt a burst of joy in her heart.


    "Is that so?" There was no warmth on Byron''s handsome face. Since you''re not feeling well, you should rest at home. Ms. Booth, you''re fired."

    Karen felt like she had been struck by lightning. She looked at Byron in disbelief as he strode out without looking back. I''m fired? I am fired!'' Karen''s legs went weak. She identally tripped over the corner of the table and fell to the ground. In the elevator, Maeve pressed expressionlessly. However, just as the door was about to close, a chiseled hand reached out and blocked the door. forced the He walked in and fixed his gaze on Maeve''s stunned face. "Maeve, why are you running "I didn''t run." Maeve came back to her senses and said in a rxed tone, I''m here to deliver the suit. After I''m done, I naturally have to leave so as not to dist Byron walked up to her and said in a deep voice, "Are you angry It''s not what you think?"

    "I''m

    Even if Karen and I really kissed, it has nothing to do with you? Byron''s eyes gradually turned cold


    Maeve felt a stab in her heart. Her hands curled up in her sleeves and clenched so tightly to maintain her calm on the surface. It seemed that this was the only way to preserve thest bit of her self-esteem and make her seem less pitiful. "Yeah, I don''t care." Upon hearing this answer, Byron suddenly felt suffocated. A sinister coldness seeped out from the edge of his eyes.


    Before that aura of destroying everything reached Maeve, he turned around with a cold expression and walked out of the elevator.


    The elevator doors closed again.


    Maeve leaned against the cold wall as her body slowly slid down. Finally, she squaued there, her eyes empty and nk.


    Before she came, she was full of anticipation to share the joy of shooting to international fame with him. She also wanted to see if he would be stunned by the new suit.


    Now the joy and anticipation were like a cold p to her face. She had won Karen. But Karen had also defeated her.


    All she needed was Byron and she would be utterly crumbled this time,

    Maeve was stunned for a moment before closing the door. Jeff went overseas and even sold the apartment opposite!


    Somehow, she felt that Byron had something to do with this


    It was even possible that he was the one who sent Jeff away.


    Not to think about anything rted to him anymore, Maeve changed her shoes and went to the balcony.


    Late at night, Byron did not return.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    Perhaps it was because she had gotten used to sleeping with him recently, Maeve could not fall asleep as she tossed and turned the whole night.


    The next day, she took a taxi to the resort hotel. Her head was dizzy. Moreover, she felt that she had forgotten something, but she could not put her finger on it.
