The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter

137

"Maeve, don't be angry." Bonnie looked vexed. "Alex probably sail that because he didn't want you to have other thoughts. When I told her that you moved out of the house, he thought that you had suffered some grievance...

Maeve looked at Bonnie's nervous expression and smiled. "I'm not angry. I know he has my interests at heart. Otherwise, he could have just asked me to stay for free. Why would he go through so much trouble?" Maeve was not someone who did not know what was good for her.

"Don't tell Alex that I told you okay?" Bonnie pleaded.

Maeve said, "Don't worry, I won't say anything."

Bonnie hugged Maeve happily, "You're the best. Will you still move next door to Alex?"

Maeve thought for a moment. "Alex gave me a discount out of goodwill, but I can't really take advantage of him. I plan to find another house soon, and I'll talk to him to ease the tension

Maeve was not particularly interested in that high-end neighborhood.

Now that she knew that Alex had sacrificed his interests to rent the house to her, she would not stay there. Otherwise, she would more or less be suspected of taking advantage of others through her relationship with Bonnie. Bonnie was full of apologies for Alex in his heart. If it weren't for her, Alex might have been able to get close to Maeve Bonnie sighed.

At the Noble Ladies Coffee Club meeting.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

The rich ladies of the top Kleymond families all gathered here. It could be said to be an excellent social gathering.

Alexis was the focus of this group of people. With her status, everyone had to show her some respect,

"Betty isn't here today? I heard that Mr. Chatterly was hospitalized yesterday

"Don't say it out loudly. Betty and Alexis don't have a good relationship. Don't mention Betty if she isn't here."

That's true. We can't afford to offend either of them.

The Chatterly family was also a reputable noble family in Kleymond. They were only slightly lower in status compared to the Mcdaniel family, and they had cooperated on many

occasions.

However, Alexis and Betty's personalities were exactly the same. They were arrogant and didn't care about anyone. Therefore, the two of them didn't get along well with each other. There was always tension between both of them.

As everyone was chatting, an elegant lady in a smoke-green dress with a snow-white shawt walked in. She had a faint smile on her face as she walked towards Alexis with a gift.

"Alexis, I'm here to thank you on behalf of my father."

Alexis had already put on a cold face. She was caught off guard by Betty's expression of gratitude and hence, she was surprised.

Alexis wondered what the Chatterly family was up to.

"Thank me?" Alexis put down the coffee cup elegantly. She still remained indifferent. "For what?"

Betty glanced at the noble ladies sitting beside her. They tactfully made way for the two of them to talk.

Betty sat down beside Alexis and smiled. "Alexis, your daughter-m-law is Maeve Reese, right?"

Alexis paused for a moment, trying to decide if she should continue. Originally, she despised Maeve because of her background and ability.

However, after the last exhibition, what Maeve said to Alexis showed that Maeve did not have the slightest intention of humbling herself to please Alexis just because she was Byron's mother. Hence, Alexis' impression of Maeve changed. Alexis and Betty had never been on good terms. Usually, they would not even acknowledge or greet each other.

Now that Betty had come over, Alexis wondered if Maeve had offended this woman and was here to complain to her.

As she thought about it, Alexis' expression was calm. "Maeve is my daughter-in-law. Our family is happy to have her. What do you want to say?"

When Betty heard that, she knew that Alexis had misunderstood, Alexis thought that Betty was here to look for trouble, so Alexis had to defend Maeve first.

"Alexis, you've misunderstood. I'm really here to thank you," Betty explained. "My father attended a banquet at Crystal Jade Club last night and almost died because he ate something wrong. It was Maeve who helped. I heard from the doctor that if it had been a few seconds later, my father might have not died,"

Speaking of this, Betty felt a lingering fear. Charles was the pillar of the Chatterly family, and everyone in the family respected him. If anything happened to him, the Chatterly family would be in chaos.

Therefore, as soon as Betty found out about Maeve's identity, she didn't bother that the Mcdaniel family had been so secretive about this matter. She hurriedly brought a gift to the Mcdaniel residence. Alexis couldn't hide her surprise. She could not imagine Maeve saving Charles' life..

Alexis wondered, Isn't she a designer? How is she able to save people?"

"Are you sure?" asked Alexis.

"This concerns the Chatterly family's savior. How could I be wrong?" Betty smiled. "I don't have your daughter-in-law's contact number, so I have to ask you for a favor and pass this gift to her. If there's a chance in the future, we'd like to thank her personally." Seeing such a gentle expression on Betty's usually cold and arrogant face, Alexis' feelings were extremely complicated.

The two of them had been enemies for many years. As their characters were similar, they didn't like each other. Even if the two families cooperated on many occasions, their relationship wasn't that good.

This time, because of Maeve, Betty took the initiative to express her goodwill to Alexis.

It was different from what Karen had said.

In the Eternal Hope Building,

Maeve took a photo and scanned the glossed design draft. Then, she sent it to Fiora's phone and asked her if there was. anything she needed to modify.

After a while, Fiora replied.

Maeve fell silent when she saw the long and nitpicking comment Fiora stopped short of saying that Maeve should look at

the rainbow and put in different colors.

Maeve wondered, 'How did I offend this princess? She clearly wasn't that fussy the last time!

If Maeve really did as Fiora said, these design drafts would all be wasted..

Another message came in.

Fiora: [Don't tell me you can't do it. Is this all the designers in Serigal can do?]

After reading this message, Maeve took a deep breath. As expecter, it was not easy to earn a living. Resigned to her fate, Maeve picked up her pen and started drawing again.

At noon, Maeve received a call from the real estate agent. She packed her things and left the company to look at houses. The house she looked at was not bad. It suited her taste. It took less than an hour to sign the contract and pay the rent.

Maeve returned to Pinehurst Apartments and asked the moving company to send large pieces of furniture she had stored in the small warehouse to the new house. This included the furniture Byron bought.

Maeve might not be able to fit so many things in her new rented house.

She thought that she would throw away those pieces that she didn't want. Then she would compensate Byroh, Hence, Maeve took out her phone and searched for the furniture using the logo

It would have been better if she hadn't searched. Maeve got the shock of her life. That bed was custom-made by a famous foreign designer. It cost more than 4 million dollars.

That sofa cost more than 2 million dollars and that desk was slightly more than 1 million dollars. Including the cabinets and lamps, everything came up to about 12 million dollars.... Maeve wondered, 'Are these furniture or gold?'

If these pieces were placed in her previous dilapidated apartment, they would definitely attract thieves.

Please wait." Maeve quickly stopped the staff who was moving the furniture out. Her voice trembled slightly. "Please be gentle. Thank you."
