Moreover, he had been so particr about the restaurant''s environment. But now, he is actually eating Maeve''s saliva? Isn''t he a neat freak? Does he forget about his eating habits? Is he crazy? Gilbert also saw this scene and grinned from ear to ear


    "I finally know why Maeve is so slim. It turns out that Byron snatches food from you every day" He deliberately joked.


    Maeve did not expect Gilbert to notice their little trick. Her face flushed immediately. "No, Gilbert. I can''t finish it myself. So Byron helped me."


    "Oh?" Gilbert smiled even more happily, "d to hear that. Byron now knows how to dote on his wife."


    Byron''s eyebrows twitched. For the sake of Gilbert''s health, he did not refute him in case he would upset Gilbert.


    Alexis looked at Maeve with aplicated expression.


    Alexis wondered, Was Maeve really unable to finish it, or did she say that on purpose when she saw that Byron refused to eat the food I handed over? This way, Byron would eat all the food I handed him." Alexis felt so moved that she wanted to cry. She was both happy and sad.


    Suddenly, a servant walked into the living room and said to Gilbert, "Mr. Mcdaniel, there are two guests outside the door. They said that they were Ms. Reese''s parents."


    Maeve''s pupils shrank due to shock.


    She thought, "Why were my parents here first? They clearly did not know Byron''s identity."


    Byron seemed to have noticed something and swept his gaze across everyone at the dining table.


    "Invite them in now," Gilbert instructed with a smile. Even though he felt that it was a little strange, he did not show it on his


    face.


    After a while, Scott and Valda walked into the dining room.


    They were all shocked by the elegant and luxurious decorations around them.


    They thought, The Mcdaniel family is indeed the richest family in Kleymond. Even the dining room is more luxurious than ours. Anyway, it will be our daughter''s in the future. Then it means that everything will be ours"


    "Inws, I apologize for noting out to greet you," Gilbert said, standing up and shaking hands with Scott and Valda, a smile on his face. "Why didn''t you let us know in advance that you wereing? We weren''t prepared. I''m sorry we can''t treat you better." Scott had never had the opportunity to encounter a rich and powerful figure like Gilbert, except for seeing them on TV.


    He was iparably excited. "Nice to meet you, Gilbert. It''s all my daughter''s fault. She married into the Mcdaniel family. but she actually kept it from her family. She really doesn''t take me seriously as her father.


    Valda happened to see Maeve sitting there. She rebuked, "Maeve didn''t I just say a few words that upset you? Why were you


    call? so angry that you didn''t even answer my


    Maeve felt a chill rush through her heart as she bit down hard on her lower lip.


    To those who didn''t know her well, it might seem that Maeve was someone who disrespected her parents, had a bad temper, and acted on impulse.


    Jason frowned when he heard that. Alexis looked sullen ton


    Only Karen had a gloating expression. She almostughed out loud.


    Gilbert smiled at Valda and said, "Maeve is usually to obedient and sensible. If som refuses to answer the phone, they must be quite someone."


    can make her so angry that she


    Valda looked embarrassed and speechless.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    "Mr. Medaniel, well, we took the liberty to visit you today mainly to ask you for a favor, Scott said shamelessly. "Im afraid only you can help us. For the sake that my daughter is married foto your family, please... He thenughed awkwardly.


    Gilbert returned to his seat. He was still smiling. "Just say it


    "Maeve''s younger brother was bullied by his ssmates at school a while ago. When he tried to defend himself, he identally injured someone. That person''s family is powerful and influential. Not only are they demandingpensation, but they have also had Maeve''s brother arrested and sent to a reformatory...


    With just a few words, Scott beautified Horace into a pitiful boy who had been bullied by his ssmates.


    Maeve wanted tough when she heard that, surprised that Scott could make up such a ridiculous lie.


    "My son has never had to endure much in his life, but this time, he has truly suffered," Valda said, tears welling in her eyes. "Maeve only has one younger brother. If anything happens to him, it will break Maeve''s heart..."


    Maeve could not take it anymore. She stood up and wanted to expose their lies. Even if she would be disliked by Byron and Gilbert, she didn''t care about it.


    Byron suddenly pressed down on the back of her hand and said in a deep voice, "Don''t move. Let them continue." Maeve looked at Byron in confusion, but Byron had no intention of exining. His expression remained calm. She could only suppress her anger and see what other ridiculous lies they could say.


    "We can''t make Maeve sad. Gilbert frowned and said, "After all, she only had one brother."


    Valda''s face lit up, and just as she was about to speak, Karen interrupted her. "Gilbert, I can''t stay silent any longer. I don''t


    want you to be misled. The truth is, Maeve''s younger brother often yed truant and got into fights. He bullied b


    ssmates and had a gambling addiction, umting a lot of debt. He was arrested and sent to the reformatory for injuring a ssmate''s eyes, resulting in their loss of sight."


    As soon as Karen said this, Scott and Valda panicked. "No, that''s not the truth..."


    Karen sighed. "If this matter gets out, it will definitely damage the Mcdaniel Group''s image. Anyway, Byron''s wife''s brother did it."


    Maeve clenched her fists tightly as if there was something stuck in her throat. She felt terrible.


    Gilbert''s expression darkened. "If that''s the case, it won''t be so easy to resolve this matter."


    "What do you mean?" Scott asked carefully.


    "I can get your son out of the reformatory, and I can alsopensate for you. However, I have a premise. Gilbert paused for a moment. "Maeve has to divorce my grandson." Maeve felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. It was as if something inside her heart was crumbling, and everything around her began to blur.


    Gilbert, who had always doted on her the most, wanted her to divorce Byron....


    Had their marriagee to an end so soon?


    Scott and Valda were shocked.


    Alexis immediately tried to stop him. "Gilbert, this is not a good idea..."


    Jason gave Alexis a look, signaling her not to speak.


    "Alexis, Gilbert is still angry." Karen suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and advised Alexis in a low voice. "It would be bad if it gets you involved. Forget it."


    Only then did Alexis stop talking. She looked at her son with worry in her eyes.


    Ever since Alexis found out that he had married Maeve, she had hoped that he would divorce Maeve and marry a better


    wife.


    But now..


    She actually regretted it.


    "Mr. Mcdaniel, what do you mean?" Scott asked hesitantly. "You just lift a finger, and it will be done. What does it have to do with my daughter''s divorce?"


    Gilbert said, "What your son did will also affect the Mcdaniel family. Do you think it''s just a small matter? There''s no need to say anything else. As long as you agree, you can see your son tomorrow. Otherwise, there''s no need to talk." Scott''s and Valda''s eyes were filled with fear,


    On one side was their precious son, on the other was theing wealth for them.


    No matter which one they chose, it would hurt for them.
