The Heir's Secret Bride

Karen's dignity was nearly shattered from getting scolded. She stood there with a pale face and muttered, "No way." The socialites were stunned by this turn of events, unable to believe it.

"The heiress of the Hancock family is not Mrs. Mcdaniel, they thought. "This woman who can't even afford to wear branded clothes is actually Mrs. Mcdaniel? It's not just Karen who doesn't believe it. We don't believe either. The facts leave us no choice but to believe, especially with Bonnie's own confirmation, Karen's tactics, like showing the video and intentionally making everyone turn against Maeve... prompt people to think more deeply about her motives. Everyone present, except for Maeve and Bonnie, knew that Karen was the secretary to the CEO of Mcdaniel Group. perfectly normal for her to have different feelings toward Byron. Today's incident was obviously her attempt to get rid of her love rival.

It was

The glass conservatory was extremely quiet for a moment, and everyone else's eyes on Karen were filled with subtle disdain. In the end, the person who broke the silence was the heiress who had first scolded Maeve earlier. She said, "Ms. Ree... Mrs. Mcdaniel, I'm sorry for misunderstanding you just now. I hope you won't take it to heart." After

she stepped forward, the other socialites who had scolded Maeve also apologized one after another.

It was common for a maid to seduce the master of the house in wealthy families. These socialities had seen it happen before in their own families, which was why they lost their temper so quickly. Maeve could tell that they were sincerely apologizing. She shook her head and said, "It's fine. You guys were unaware of the full situation."

The socialites were initially worried that Maeve would be unrelenting because of her status as Mrs. Mcdaniel, but they were surprised to find her so understanding.

"I'm really sorry."

The first heiress looked apologetic. Then, she looked at Karen fiercely and said, "Ms. Booth, I don't think you're fit to attend our coffee party. Please leave." Karen was Byron's secretary, so even these socialities usually had to show her some respect. But now that Byron's wife was

wife was here, Karen's status as a mere secretary was nothing.

'If Mrs. Mcdaniel holds a grudge against us because of our scolding and brings this up to Mr. Mcdaniel, our parents will give us a piece of their minds when we return home,' they thought. Ever since Karen ren became Byron's secretary, almost everyone fawned over her, so her sense of superiority went without saying.

She had never been treated with such disrespect.

Karen's face flushed, and she bit her lip tightly in embarrassment.

This bunch of opportunistic fence-sitters!' she cursed inwardly. Pretending to be calm, she then raised her chin and walked out, clutching her handbag.

When she passed by Maeve, she lowered her voice and said sarcastically, "Don't be smug. I want to see how long you can remain as Mrs. Mcdaniel. With Byron's high and respectable status, you're not worthy of him at all."

A sense

of shock flashed across Maeve's eyes as she instinctively blurted out, "Isn't he a driver?"

'A driver?' Karen thought.

A driv

Soon, she caught on and realized that Maeve probably did not know Byron's true identity. With gloomy eyes, she gave Maeve a sidelong look, thinking, 'It seems that Byron is just fooling around with her!

"Who knows?" Karen sneered and left in her high heels.

Maeve slowly exhaled, her thoughts in a mess. 92% 92%

Bonnie asked with an annoyed expression, "Maeve, what did she say to you just now? Did she say unpleasant things again?"

"Nothing," Maeve said as she smiled at her. "Bonnie, I'm a little tired and want to go back."

"I don't want to stay here any longer either. Let's go."

The socialites initially wanted to come over and build a closer relationship with Maeve, which would benefit their family's business.

Unexpectedly, the two best friends walked arm in arm, not giving them a chance at all.

After leaving the villa, Maeve got into Bonnie's car to return home.

Bonnie was still very angry when she thought of what had happened earlier. "I have no idea what's with her thought process. She actually thought your husband is my husband. Right from the start, she intentionally made an effort to get close to me, but I actually couldn't tell."

Maeve comforted her, saying, "She's quite scheming, and she played on your preferences, so it's not surprising that you were deceived."

'Plus, I'm actually quite happy that Bonnie supported me in front of so many people,' she thought.

Bonnie was still mad. "Those people who scolded you are also at fault. They came forward to scold you without knowing the situation, so it serves them right to be used as pawns. I'll block them when I get back. I won't interact with them from now on.'

She thought, 'Anyway, I'm a homebody, so I'm not afraid of offending those heiresses."

Maeve chuckled. "Why are you angrier than me? Anyway, I won't interact with them from now on, so let's just let it go this time."

"I won't let that slide." Bonnie snorted. "Maeve, Karen definitely has an interest in your husband. You have to be wary of her from now on."

"Actually, she's the childhood friend of Mr. Mcdaniel I told you about."

"What?" Bonnie was shocked. "Then your husband's attitude toward her..."

Maeve shrugged. "I don't know much about their situation. All I know is that they are very close

She thought, Karen even knows what kind of apples he likes.

Maeve felt a trace of sadness.

Bonnie frowned. "When Karen approached me, she mentioned that her family runs a company. She's somewhat of a beautiful woman with good social status. How come your husband and she are childhood friends?" She thought, Their backgrounds don't match at all."

Marve thought of what Karen had just said and clenched her fists.

"Mr. Mcdaniel stayed frKaren's house when he was a kid," she said. "His parents are likely quite rich. It shouldn't be strange for the two families to know each other."

Bonnie was even more puzzled. "Why is he just a mere driver then? Don't blame me for being straightforward. Karen looks quite arrogant. I think she has a low opinion of drivers..."

She thought,

'But the immoral things she has done make her seem very contradictory!

Maeve could not help but defend Byron. "There's nothing wrong with being a driver."

"Yeah. Got it. I know people often view their loved ones as wonderful regardless of others' opinions." Bonnie was helpless. "By the way, how come Karen saw you as a maid?" Maeve pursed her lips. "When Mr. Mcdaniel introduced me to his friends, he said I'm a maid... She might have heard that."

"What?" Bonnie got angry. "How can there be such a person? What does he take you for? I was wondering why Karen was so sure that you were a maid. She remained unconvinced even after the truth was revealed." She thought, 'So the problem lies here.' Bonnie was furious.

"Maeve, get a divorce. I'll introduce you to someone better."Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Maeve instantly felt a mix of amusement and annoyance. She went along with her statements, saying, "Sure, when I get a divorce, you can introduce me to someone." Bonnie took it seriously and quickly searched for suitable unmarried young men.

When they reached the front of the apartment, Maeve reminded Bonnie to drive slowly. After Bonnie left, she turned around and walked toward the courtyard.

As soon as she entered, she saw a tall fir tree rooted in the grass on the right side of the courtyard. The roots were even surrounded by a ring of brown bricks.

Byron stood under the tree. His figure was tall and straight. His face, silhouetted against the light, had sharp and chiseled features, looking handsome beyond comparison.

Maeve looked at this scene in a daze, thinking, 'Is he really a driver? His appearance and demeanor don't seem to match that. Is what Karen said true, or is it meant to deliberately mislead me?'
