    Will kept winking at him. You came out at the wrong time!"


    Theo blinked innocently. What do you mean? Why do you all look so weird?"


    "Thank you" Maeve held back the exnation that was about toe out of her mouth. She reached out and rubbed Theo''s head. Good job, little miracle doctor."


    Theo held his face shyly. "Even if youpliment me like this won''t go with you tonight"


    "Where do you want to go?" Maeve asked.


    "Arcade games!"


    Maeve''s mouth twitched. ''Give money to the w machine again? Don''t you know you lose 99 out of 100 every time?


    "Dad, can I go together?" Will turned to ask Byron.


    "Not for the time being. It''s not safe outside," Byron rejected him tly.


    Theo remembered what Byron had said and immediately changed his mind. "I suddenly don''t want to go there now. let''s go home. What about ying games together? I''m an expert. A headshot king!"


    Will


    "Headshot? Will suddenly recalled some unpleasant memories, but not to dampen Theo''s mood, he still nodded. ''Alright, so regard it as training"


    Theo''s expression changed after hearing that "Okay, 2 dors for one round and 5 dors for two."


    Will narrowed his eyes. ''What? How dare you earn your brother''s money! And even such an unfair price. I''m not a fool


    Byron, who had been listening to their conversation, could not help but look at Theo''s face. He felt that Will seemed to trear this little fatty differently. At least, he had never seen his son so patient with any other peers. Byron narrowed his eyes. "Boy, what''s wrong with your neck?"


    "Huh?" Theo subconsciously touched his neck, but his hand was wet. Perhaps he had sweated during the acupuncture, the foundation on his neck had melted a little.


    Maeve also noticed this and quickly pulled Theo in front of her, blocking Byron''s probing gaze.


    and


    "Let me see it." Maeve pretended to Theo''s cor and said nonchntly, "It''s stained with the dust on the wall. Did you drill a hole?"


    "No idea. Theo stood there obediently, letting Maeve fiddle with it.


    No one knew if Byron believed it or not, but his gaze never left Theo.


    At this moment, Maeve''s phone rang.


    "Ms. Reese, there is a guest looking for you. He ims to be your younger brother," Paige said over the phone.


    Maeve frowned. "Now? I''ll be thereter."


    Maeve had not seen or contacted her parents since they made a scene in the Mcdaniel family four years ago. As for Horace, they had never been close since they were young, and it was the same when they had grown up. She didn''t even know how he found her studio.


    Half an hourter, at Dreamspace Studio, Maeve strode into the reception room and saw Horace sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, ying games with his phone.


    He had dyed his hair dark green and wore sunsses, dressed in a ck river jacket and ripped jeans. He seemed to be trying so hard to look fashionable, but the result was kind of hrious. There was also a pile of cigarette burts and chewing gum that he had crushed on the floor. Maeve frowned again and again. It had only been a few years. How did he be like this?


    "Horace, why are you looking for me?" She walked over and asked bluntly, "Make it quick. I''m very busy"


    Horace flipped his phone between his fingers and smiled sarcastically, "Oh, you''ve really made a big money now. So arrogant. You don''t even take your brother seriously."


    "Is that what you''re here for? Maeve was impatient and disappointed.


    "I don''t have money now. Lend me some. Horace put down his legs and said in a self-righteous tone, "This studio must have made a lot of money, right? It''s already on the news, and all the customers are so rich. I don''t want much. Just 100 thousand dors. Maeve''s bright eyes were filled with disappointment. She must have been a fool to think that Horace would be here to ask how she had been doing for the past four years. It turned out that he was here just for money.


    "I''m your sister, not your mother. I''m not obligated to give you money, Maeve said coldly. "Besides, you have never treated me as your sister. You don''t have to talk about blood stuff. I don''t buy it"


    Horace blew out a smoke ring. "I advise you to think carefully. I have bros in the underworld. It''s not a problem to ruin your


    business."


    He had done some preparations in advance. Just a wedding dress here was worth at least 20 thousand dors. So 100 thousand dors wouldn''t be a problem for her.


    Maeve sneered. "If I don''t give it to you, are you going to destroy my studio?"


    "You can give it a try. Horace shrugged casually. "My good sister, don''t be selfish. You don''t have a man or children now. What''s the use of keeping money? Why don''t you give it to me to start a business? I''ll return it to you when I earn money." "Alright, write an IOU first." Maeve was cold.


    "We''re siblings. Do we need that thing? Wouldn''t you find it embarrassing?" Horace was refusing


    "Why didn''t you remember that we were siblings before?" Maeve stood up. "If you can''t show your sincerity, just go. Anyway, we don''t have much feelings to begin with. And this little bit of kinship was going to be worn down by you."


    Horace kicked the table heavily. "You sold a wedding dress for fucking 20 thousand dors and can''t even bear to give 100 thousand to your brother? What''s wrong with you? Are you still my sister?"


    Maeve''s face turnedpletely cold. "Are you done? Get lost. Don''t let Horace rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was about to hit ber.

    "Ms. Reese, is there anything we can help you with?" Two burly bodyguards appeared at the door of the reception room and


    stared at Horace.


    When Horace saw their terrific size, he immediately cowered. But he still fiercely said to Maeve, "Just wait." Then, he slunk OUL


    rds came from.


    Marve did not take Horace''s harsh words to heart. Instead, she was curious about where these two bodyguards


    "Mr. Mcdaniel sent us to protect you," the bodyguard on the left exined.


    Maeve was stunned. She did not tell him who she was here to see How did he guess that she would need protection?


    Since she was already here, she left that question behind and started to work.


    However, Horace was serious. When Maeve went to work on Monday, she almost had a heart attack when she saw the studio''s door sshed with red paint and nasty graffiti on it. The surveince footage showed that i was indeed Horace who brought his men over to do it at night.


    Maeve did not tolerate him at all and directly called the police to deal with it.


    However, Horace was only fined and detained for two days without any substantial punishment.


    After he was released, he led his men and smashed arge crack in the ss door of the studio.


    When Paige came in the morning, she was almost cut by the ss shards.


    However, even if Maeve called the police, they would not be locked up for long because there weren''t any casualties or heavy property damage.
