"Come on, I'll take you there."
Nora pulled Maeve's hand, looking very friendly.
Everyone in this graduate class came from wealthy and prominent families. The connections were quite complicated.
After joining the class, Maeve had discreetly looked into everyone's background, She believed that the others had done the same.
Nora pulled Maeve into the car and drove to a nearby nightclub.
for
Nora and Maeve got out of the car. Someone had already reserved a private room for them.
Unlike the noisy scene outside, the private room was comparatively quiet.
As soon as the private room was opened, Maeve saw Sheldon sitting on the sofa.
Sheldon was dressed in punk style, his gaze turning, sharper and colder. His appearance was already fierce, and now he looked even more
untamed.
When Maeve saw the car behind Nora earlier, she knew Sheldon wanted to see her.
As she expected, Nora made an excuse and left.
Now, only Maeve and Sheldon remained in the private room.
"Mr. Hackett, there's no need to meet me in a place like this, right?"
Maeve turned to leave, but the door of the private room had already been closed by someone.
Maeve wasn't afraid, though. As Sergio's wife, Sheldon wouldn't dare do anything to her. That was why she dared to come here alone.
"It's safe here. No one will notice."
"If news gets out that the second son of the Hackett family met with Sergio's newlywed wife in the middle of the night, it would be a scandal for both familles."
Maeve nonchalantly shrugged her shoulders and said, "Anyway, I'm already notorious. It doesn't matter if my reputation gets a little worse. But if your brother finds out about this, will he strip your skin off?" Maeve knew Sheldon's soft spot very well.
Sheldon narrowed his eyes dangerously as he approached Maeve. His tall frame quickly cast a shadow over her, and he leaned in close. "No one can play me. You're the first."
Sheldon's voice was low and husky, giving his words a flirtatious undertone.
Maeve raised her eyebrow and retorted, "Mr. Hackett, you can't say that. When have I ever played you?"
"From the moment we first met, you did it on purpose, didn't you?"
"For god's sake, I really didn't."
Maeve gave him an innocent look. "Mr. Hackett, do you have a persecution complex?"
"Stop acting stupid. My eyes can spot a lie."
Sheldon chuckled softly, saying, "But I really didn't expect you to be Sergio's wife."
Maeve said seriously, "Everyone in Seathburn City knows that I'm Sergio's wife. Perhaps only you don't know." Sheldon frowned.
He had just returned from abroad and wasn't very aware of what had happened in Seathburn City recently.
He also didn't pay much attention to the socialite circle, so he never heard about Maeve.
"Alright, Mr. Hackett. Stop your delusions. I don't have any ulterior motives toward you, and even if I did, they should be directed toward your
brother"
Everyone knew that Levi held absolute power in the Hackett family. Sheldon was just a good-for-nothing who relied on his brother to play "Stop right there!"

Sheldon grabbed Maeve's wrist.
Maeve's words provoked Sheldon's anger.
"Are you saying I'm not as good as my brother?"
"Mr. Hackett, what do you think?"
The hand Sheldon used to grab Marve's wrist suddenly tightened.
He knew that Maeve was telling the truth.
Suddenly, Sheldon laughed, his wild eyes carrying a hint of mischiet. "Sergio has always been at odds with my family. If I were to do something to you today, could you still be his wife?"
