The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 217

"Tell him." Byron's cold voice carried a hint of mockery, "The Modaniel family is not Marve's family. Find the right place if the Chatterly family has to repay the favor." "Alright, Mr. Mcdaniel, Archer replied.

After the phone call, Byron's expression turned cold as he walked towards the study.

Before going to bed, Maeve learned this from Jaylen on a video call. She was silent for a moment before saying calmly. "He probably still hates me for not getting an abortion back then, she doesn't want to have anything to do with me." Jaylen did not say anything about this. He just looked at her and Sud, "Still, you help him." Maeve shook her head slightly. "I'm not doing this for him. I'm doing this for Gilbert and myself"

She felt indebted to Gilbert for his kindness in the past, but she was more worried about the murder charges against her.

Only when Gilbert

After the video call up would Maeve be able to clear her name; as for Byron, she no longer cared about him.

I ended, Maeve lay back on the bed, tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

She then sat up, took her phone, and entered a phone number. After hesitating for a full five minutes, she hit the call button No one picked up. After the ringtone ended, it automatically hung up.

No

Maeve pressed her lips together and

sent a message. (Mr. Mcdaniel, please put aside your grudge for now and do what is good for your grandfather.] Getting no reply, she texted again: [Do you want t your grandfather to lie there for the rest of his life?]

It instantly showed that Byron had blocked her. Maeve almost laughed out of anger, thinking, 'Alright, he doesn't want to cure his grandpa. What do I care? She tossed her phone away and went back to sleep.

The next morning. Maeve was woken up by an urgent doorbell. She walked to the door and looked through the peephole. It was actually Lynn standing outside. How did she find her way here? What does she want? Maeve thought with a frown but could not figure it out.

At this moment, Theodore in cow pajamas and a nightcap walked over with a small pillow in his arms. He asked in a sweet voice, "Mommy, who is it?"

stranger, ignore her," Maeve replied as she turned around and hugged him. "Go back to bed. I'll stay with you for a while more.

"Okay," Theodore said. They went back to his room and didn't wake up

until noon.

The receptionist delivered a gift box to Maeve's door, saying that it was from a young lady.

Inside the gift box was a complete set of pearl and diamond jewelry with a card.

chewed on the donut as she flipped the card and skimmed it. Then, she threw the card aside.

Maeve che

Theodore put down the milk and leaned over to take a look. "Mommy, someone wants you to see a patient? Was he impressed by us yesterday when he saw how heroic we were together to save the patient?"

"Where did you get so many narcissistic words?" Maeve smiled.

Theodore sniggered as he held the glass with a milk mustache.

Maeve stared at the card and found it ironic, though her face didn't show it.

No matter what, Byron refused to accept her help. But his fiance sent the gift to ask for Macve's help..

Interesting, Maeve commented.

Lynn made no particular impression on her; she neither liked or disliked Lynn. But she won't let Theodore do Lynn a favor. Maeve gave the card a card a gentle push with her fingertips and it fell straight into the trash can under the table.

After breakfast, Maeve took Theodore out to look for a kindergarten-

She had her eye on three private kindergartens last night. They were all prestigious private kindergartens with good privacy. However, their requirements were strict. The parents would have to pass the interview and some assessments before their kids could get admitted.

The first kindergarten was fine, and there was nothing outstanding about it, so Maeve took Theodore to the next one.

The principal dropped Maeve's resume to the desk, his expression somewhat contemptuous.

Ms. Reese, with your family background and professional background, isn't it a bit unrealistic that you want to send your child to our kindergarten Maeve frowned. "Any problems with my professional background?"

Sitting on the other side of the sofa, Theodore pursed his lips and stared straight at the principal.

"Yes, I've also heard that you're very famous overseas. You were almost the chief designer for the royal family." The principal crossed his hands and supported his chin. He said in a questioning tone, "But you're now back. This impressive resume can't change the fact that you're still unemployed." "Sir,

this is because I've just returned to the country. I haven't had the time to settle everything yet," Maeve explained.

Then we'l e'll talk about it when you're done. The principal faked smile. "This is one of the best private kindergartens in Kleymond. The kids here are either from a wealthy family or a respectable family. Accepting kids with unqualified parents will damage the quality of this school." Maeve felt a surge of anger within her. Damned old, bald bastard, who does he think he is to look down on me? Even the best royal kindergarten in Erancia opens its doors to Theo, she cursed inwardly, Before she could retort, her phone suddenly rang. Maeve answered it and asked, "Hello?"

She accidentally pressed the speaker button, and the principal heard everything. "Hello, this Ms. Reese? In the principal of Islaton Private International Kindergarten, Quinton Mayer.

"I'm wondering if you've already chosen another school. Last night, you said on the phone that you would bring your son to my school for a tour today. It's almost afternoon, but you're still not here." Maeve was stunned for a moment before

Chapter 217

"Alright, I'll welcome you and your son with the greatest enthusiasm," Mr. Mayer said with a grin. Tve always admired such. an outstanding and independent woman like you. Your son must be as brilliant as you.

"How about this? If you're satisfied with the environment of my school, I can waive the interview and assessments for you and admit your son directly."

Quinton sounded so excited and enthusiastic as if he was afraid that Theodore would choose another school.

The other principal, who was sitting behind his desk, grimaced their conversation. His kindergarten was ranked in the top five in the city, but Islaton Private International Kindergarten was the top one. The most powerful families would send their kids to Islaton. There had always been a gap between the most powerful families and wealthy families. Those big shots would have to show Quinton some respect.

However, Quinton begged Maeve to send her boy to his school. This sobering fact made the other principal's toes curl and his hand tremble slightly as he held his cup.

Did I miss something else when I did her background check? he wondered

At this moment, Theodore trotted over and stood on his tiptoes to ask over the phone, "Mr. Mayer, which is better between your school and Blue Star Kindergarten?*
