Just then, there was amotion ahead.
A woman eximed, "What''s wrong with her face? My god! Her face is red and swollen all of a sudden."
Another person said, "Quickly get someone to call the doctor over."
Yet another person wondered out loud, "I think she was stung by bug. Oh my god! I think the gardeners might have missed out on spraying the garden and let a poisonous bug sneak in." When Amber heard themotion, she rushed over and evacuated the crowd. Then, she got someone to help the victim upstairs.
Unfortunately, thedy who got stung was in severe pain. After taking a few steps, she bent down in pain and could notnovelbin
move
Amber tried to lift her up but failed. Worried, she urged the servants to check if the doctor had arrived
The doctor rushed over with the first aid kit.
The doctor announced, "Thisdy has indeed been stung by a poisonous bug. She has to go to the hospital. Since she can''t move now, it''s best to call an ambnce."
Thedy cried out in pain loudly. She looked like she would die from the pain before the ambnce arrived.
Amber was anxious, but there was nothing she could do..
"Madam Soar, can I try something?" asked Maeve as she walked out from the crowd.
"You? What are you nning to do?" Amber was surprised. She thought, "Isn''t Maeve a designer?"
"I brought with me some ointment to treat external injuries," Maeve exined. She took out a small porcin container from her bag and approached thedy in pain. Maeve asked, "Can I help you apply the ointment?" "Can Can it stop the pain?" Thedy''s voice was trembling as she spoke. She was in so much pain that she couldn''t stop tearing up.
"Yes." Maeve opened the lid of the porcin container. She picked up some pale green cream with her fingers and applied a thinyer on thedy''s swollen-cheek.
Aeolian rolled her eyes and said to Maeve, "You''re brazen for applying a product that doesn''t even have a properbe on a casualty. If she''s disfigured, who will be responsible for this? You or Amber?" Amber turned around and scolded Acolian. "Aeolian, shut up."
Amber was well aware that Maeve was doing this out of kindness. She could have just stood by and watched.
Aeolian pursed her lips. She was annoyed that Amber scolded her for speaking the truth. She thought, Just you wait and see if-
Before Acolian finished her thought, thedy gradually stopped crying.
Thedy said, "T-I think it''s less painful now." She looked at Maeve with tears in her eyes and requested, "Can you apply some more on me? It has a cooling effect, and I feel less pain now." Maeve applied the cream on thedy''s entire face. Thedy looked like she had a thick green facial mask on. Maeve used up
all the cream in the porcin container.
This cream was a detox and beauty cream Theo had specially made for Maeve. Thanks to this cream, Maeve did not have any e outburst even though she had been staying upte recently.
This cream was also very effective against poisonous bug stings As expected, thedy stoppedining about the pain.
Amber heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at Marve with even more admiration. She said, ''Ms. Reese, thank you. If not for your help, the party today would be ruined"
Amber would have to be fully responsible if somelling happened to the guests at the party she organized.
Moreover, Amber had to figure out the origin of the poisonous bag since its existence was unsettling.
"It''s nothing. I just did what I could. Maeve waved her hand in dismissal.
She actually had antidote pills in her bracelet, but she did not offer it to thedy. She was mainly concerned that the other party would reject her out of caution of consuming something unfamiliar. If anything bad were to happen to thedy after consuming the pill, Maeve would also be in deep trouble.
Fortunately the ointment was very effective.
The ambnce arrived quickly. Although thedy had been relieved of her pain, she still had to go to the hospital for a proper checkup.
Maeve just got lucky. Why does she get all the credit?" Aeolianined to her friends.
Her friends silently kept their distance from her and did not agree to her statement
Everyone present could tell that it was all thanks to Maeve''s help that thedy''s symptoms were relieved
No one wanted to see what would happen if thedy did not get help in time.
The guests present knew that Amber would be in huge trouble if things turned south.
The guests secretly disapproved of Acolian''s attitude. Aeolian prioritized finding fault with Maeve over the well-being of thedy who got stung by a poisonous bug. As Amber''s niece, Aeolian did not have Amber''s best interest at heart. Even Amber did not want to look at her stupid niece now. She pulled Maeve over and thanked her properly. She also invited Marve out for a meal in the future.
While chatting, Amber caught a glimpse of the faint crescent-shaped birthmark on the back of Maeve''s neck.
Amber did not ask about it immediately, but she probed, "Are your parents also in design?"
Maeve shook her head and replied, "My mother isift. My father To be honest, I''ve never seen him before, so I don''t know what he does for a living."
Amber patted Maeve''s shoulderfortingly and said, "If your father knew that your are so outstanding, he would definitely be proud of you."
Amber had a hunch. She perhaps had to confirm some things with Zephyr, her big brother who made many people, tremble in fear,
Maeve was unaware of Amber''s n. Aside from the bug incident, she was having a good time at this party.
After the party ended, Maeve bade farewell to Amber and left. Before she got into the car, someone suddenly pushed her into the car from behind. Then, the door was forcefully closed and locked behind her.
The car left in a hurry. The sudden movement of the car caused Maeve to fall to the side uncontrobly
Her stomach felt ufortable as she heard the driver say to the person in the front passenger seat. How lucky. We''ve kidnapped two members of the Soar family this time. If we collect 10 million dors of ransom for each person, we will get 20 million dors in total," The person in the front passenger seatughed and said, "When we get the money, we''ll sell the girls to the underground city. Then, we can earn more."
The driver eximed, "You are smart! These two girls are pretty. The men in the underground city will surely like them."
Maeve shuddered when she heard their evil n. She suddenly thought of something and turned around.
Sure enough, she saw another person tied up on the floor of the ear. It was Aeolian.
Maeve thought. Didn''t these kidnappers do their research before kidnapping their targets? How did they mistake me as a member of the Soar family?"
Maeve was speechless at how careless these kidnappers were.
Maeve took advantage of the fact that the two kidnappers were not paying attention to her and quietly pulled out the thin wire in her bracelet that Will had modified. The wire was so sharp that it could be used to slit a person''s throat.
Maeve approached Acolian, whose mouth was gagged and could not speak. She lowered her voice and said, "TII un?ie you. Do as I say, and we still have a chance of survival. Do you understand?"
Even the brainless Aeolian knew they were in deep trouble now, Although she was full of disdain toward Maeve and did not think that Maeve could save them, she still held back her anger and nodded in agreement.
Maeve cut the rope around Aeolian''s hands with the wire and took out two antidote pills from her bracelet pendant. She stuffed one into Acolian''s mouth andate one herself.
Maeve crushed half of the knockout pill she had. Colorless and odorless knockout powder quietly filled the car.
When the driver felt sleepy, he immediately stopped the car and wanted to switch with his partner.
However, when he turned around, he discovered that the twodies were gone.
Maeve grabbed Aeolian''s wrist and escaped from the car. She wanted to go back to the vi where the party was held to ask for help, but to her dismay, there were more kidnappers in another car following behind their car. The people in the car behind quickly got out and chased after the two girls when they spotted them escaping,
