Never See You Again

James had been released from prison just a few days ago..

He looked at Maeve, attempting to conceal the resentment in his eyes. However, his acting skills were lacking, and people could see through him at a glance.

"Come in quickly. Aunt Sharon has been looking forward to seeing you. She made a table full of dishes today. Come on in!"

Philip ushered Maeve to the dining table.

Maeve glanced at the empty living room and asked, "Where are the others? Haven't they arrived?"

"They'll be here soon! Maeve, the way you've managed Scott Media is impressive. That Bryce, where did you sign him from? He's brought a lot of benefits to the Scott family. Many other projects of ours have also made a lot of money!"

Philip couldn't stop smiling.

On the other hand, James just sneered and said, "It's just luck. It's all thanks to that Bryce. What does it

have to do with her?"

"You little brat! Shut your mouth!"

Philip glared at James, and James didn't say another word.

Maeve thought James would become more restrained after spending so much time in prison. She hadn't expected him to be the same as before.

"Maeve, I've decided to hand over the management of the other companies in the Scott family to you.

be good practice for you."

Sharon, who had just returned from the kitchen with dishes, overheard Philip's words.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Sharon's expression shifted. "Honey, what are you talking about? How can we hand over the family's companies to an outsi..."

Before she could finish saying the word "outsider," Sharon realized she had misspoken.

"II!!

They were outsiders compared to Maeve. After all, Maeve's father alone expanded those companies in the Scott family.

Maeve raised an eyebrow and said, "Aunt Sharon, it's been so long since we last met. I didn't expect you

to remain the same."

"I... Sharon knew she was in the wrong, so she simply placed the dishes on the table.

Maeve thought Sharon would cause a scene, but to her surprise, Sharon restrained herself and smiled. "It was my fault before. I apologize, Maeve. Today is a family banquet. Let's all be happy." Maeve frowned.

Today's Sharon was different from before.

In the evening, more and more people from the Scott family arrived. This time, in addition to the Scott family, Maeve also saw people from the Quill family.

Sharon called out to Gordon. "Gordon, come here."

A middle-aged man in his 40s walked over, looking sleazy at first glance.

Maeve remembered him as Sharon's younger brother, about three or four years younger than Sharon.

He was currently the chairman of Quill Corporation, but it was just a nominal title. Everyone knew about. Sharon's notorious reputation in the industry.

Not many companies were willing to cooperate with her. Without the support of the Scott family, Quill Corporation would have gone bankrupt long ago.

"Quick, say hello to the Scott family's heiress." Sharon enthusiastically pulled Gordon over.

Gordon saw Maeve and immediately became entranced. His eyes lit up, and he hurriedly extended his hand, saying, "Ms. Scott, I'm Gordon, the chairman of Quill Corporation"

Maeve merely glanced at Gordon's hand. She coldly remarked, "Aunt Sharon, what's the meaning of this? Today is the Scott family's family banquet, yet you've brought the Quill family members over." Maeve didn't show any respect, and Sharon's expression immediately soured.

Gordon interjected, "Sharon married into the Scott family. Naturally, I also have connections with the Scott family. Ms. Scott, there's no need to consider me an outsider. Sooner or later, we'll all be..." Before Gordon could finish his sentence, Sharon quickly spoke up, "Oh dear, it's all my fault. Gordon said he wanted to come and take a look today, so I thought I'd bring him along since we're family. Let's go

eat

first."

As Sharon spoke, she grabbed Maeve's a

Maeve's intuition told her that there was something fishy going on.

At that moment, a household staff carrying red wine approached the table and accidentally bumped into Maeve.

Maeve tried to dodge, but Sharon pulled on her arm, so the wine spilled directly onto her.
