The Heir's Secret Bride novel Chapter 175

Chapter 175 

Karen had arrived half an hour early. However, Gilbert did not bother to talk or even look at her. He acted as if she didn’t exist. But since Maeve had arrived, he uttered those words as if purposely trying to trigger Karen. 

Maeve did not notice Karen’s anger. She smiled and explained to Gilbert, “Grandpa, you’re mistaken. Byron takes good care of me. I’m looking like this because I’ve been staying up late recently. Don’t worry, he kept me well–fed.” 

late.

However, Gilbert was not entirely wrong. After all, Byron was indeed responsible for making Maeve stay up. caught Gilbert’s probing gaze but did not budge. 

Gilbert nodded hearing Macve’s words and reminded, “You need to rest more. Otherwise, your body will be overexhausted. The disease complication will catch up to you when you are my age.” 

Maeve agreed obediently. Then, she greeted Jason and Alexis, “Good evening. Mr. and Mrs. Mcdaniel. She wanted to call them Sir and Ma’am‘ but felt it was inappropriate. So, she changed her words. 

Jason nodded flatly, but Alexis smiled at her for the first time and even pulled her to sit beside her, Maeve looked at Byron in confusion. But seeing he did not mind, she agreed to sit down. 

“Byron’s grandmother gave this to me when I married Jason. It blends perfectly with your skin tone, so I’m giving this to you. Alexis placed a brocade box in Maeve’s hands. 

Inside lay a pair of emerald earrings, emitting a smooth and elegant luster. It was obvious they were extraordinary. Seeing this, Karen almost lost her composure. She knew Alexis rarely wore luxurious things like those earrings, but she was angry because she casually gave such an item to Macve. But in her heart, she guessed that Alexis acted that way because of Byron’s presence. 

Meanwhile, Maeve was surprised. She hurriedly pushed the brocade box back. “This holds a special value to you. I can’t accept this,” 

“This is what his grandma would’ve wanted, Alexis said firmly, 

Immediately, Maeve looked at Byron for help. However, he said calmly. “Take it, she’s giving it to you.” 

Hearing his words, Maeve could only accept the brocade box and thank Alexis. “I appreciate the gift. Thank you, Mcdaniel.” 

Mrs. 

Standing at the side, Jason awkwardly took his coffee cup. He did not like Maeve, so he did not prepare any gifts for her. However, Jason felt Byron’s words just now implied that he was so stingy that he couldn’t even afford a gift, even though that was not the case. 

Not long after, the butler came over and said that dinner was almost ready. Maeve asked Byron softly where the bathroom 

After Byron told her the location, he asked in a low voice, “Shall I go with you?”

But Maeve quickly shook her head. “I can take care of myself. As a grown–up, she didn’t need someone to accompany her to 

the toilet. 

Not long after Maeve entered the toilet, Karen followed her. “Maeve, don’t be so smug Gilbert and Alexis are only being nice to you because of Byron. You’re not worthy of their attention at allr 

Maeve turned around. Her red lips curled into a smile. “At least it’s better than someone who tried too hard to be on Gilbert’s good side by becoming a back–stabbing bitch.” 

Gilbert never liked Karen, and his attitude had explained a lot. Just now, Karen had pretended to say goodbye, but Gilbert did not even say a word of courtesy. He could not be bothered to care if she left or not. It was Alexis who asked her to stay 

Hearing Maeve’s taunting, Karen could not wait to tear Maeve’s face apart.

However, when she realized she was in Gilbert’s house, Karen calmed down and sneered. “Do you think you’ve won? Byron only sees you as a sex toy and is playing with you. What makes you think you’re so special!” 

“I don’t know. But I do know that I’m Byron’s legal wife. Other than the title of delusional ex–girlfriend, what other title do you own, Ms. Booth 

“Delusional? Who are you calling delusional?” Karen was furious. 

Meanwhile, Maeve’s eyes were filled with mockery. “Stop making things up, I already know you were lying to me. You’ve never dated Byron” 

Karen pretended not to care and said, “So what? We’ve been friends for many years!” 

“You lied to me because you wanted me to back off and leave Byron,” Maeve interrupted, “If your relationship with Byron was solid, why would you go so far as to lie to me?” 

Maeve chuckled and added. “Unless you’re not confident and afraid that Byron doesn’t have romantic feelings for you. Is that why you want to chase away all the women around him?” 

Every word she said was like an arrow hitting Karen’s sore spots, and her face turned dark red. “Other than throwing shades, what else can you do to me?”
