The Heir's Secret Bride novel Chapter 383

Chapter 383 

There were still many VIPs who hadn’t left and wanted to get to know Maeve representing Dreamscape. 

Dreamscape had already gained fame in Kleymond and was just taking its first step in Greenhaven. 

However, the feedback from the VIP’S on the spot proved that Dreamscape had taken this step very successfully. 

It was almost half past eight when Maeve finally got away from those VIPs and returned backstage. She was a little surprised to see Jaylen standing there with a bouquet of flowers. 

Maeve said in a surprising tone, “I thought you were going to rest at the hotel today.” 

After all, he looked very uncomfortable in the morning. 

“I said I’d come to see your exhibition. Of course, I won’t go back on my word.” Jaylen handed the flowers to her with a smile on his lips. “Congratulations. This fashion exhibition was a success. I sat down and heard everyone praise you.” 

There was nothing happier than having a career affirmed. Maeve smiled and took the bouquet of flowers. “Thank you. Do you want to go to the celebration banquet with me later?” 

Jaylen nodded happily. “You’ve already invited me. How can I not go?” 

Maeve smiled. She could not help but look around from the corner of her eye. Perhaps she did not see the person she wanted to see, but a hint of disappointment flashed across her heart. 

*****The restaurant for the celebration banquet was chosen by Maeve. Together with Trazir’s higher–ups, the entire second floor was booked. 

Mr. Warren was unable to come due to an emergency and expressed his regret to Maeve over the phone. 

Maeve was already hungry. After giving her speech on stage, she sat down and started eating. 

There were more dishes ordered. She was halfway through her meal when more dishes arrived one after another. 

Jaylen picked up a serving of fork pork ribs for her. “Are these dishes that delicious?” 

She had an elegant way of eating. Even when she ate quickly, it didn’t seem rude. Instead, it made people think that the food in front of her was very delicious. He, who had a poor appetite, ate half a bowl more rice just by looking at her. 

Maeve had something in her mouth that she could not answer, so she nodded. 

‘The chef in this restaurant was superb. Especially the stir–fried octopus. It was so fragrant that she felt dizzy. 

“Uh…” Maeve’s expression suddenly changed. She spat out the food in her mouth at the trash can. 

Jaylen quickly patted her back. “Maeve, what’s wrong? Did you choke?” 

Maeve could not speak. Her face was pale and she was sweating profusely. She used the last bit of strength to take out an antidote from behind the gemstone pendant of the bracelet and bit it. 

Theo had said that this antidote could not only cure her homemade poison. 

She felt dizzy and nauseous. The symptoms of nausea were similar to poisoning. To be safe, she had to take one first. 

As soon as the antidote worked, Maeve could feel the strength in her limbs slowly returning. 

She grabbed Jaylen, who was about to pour her water, and said word by word, “There’s poison in the food. Stop everyone

and make them stop eating. Then get the manager to come over 

+5 

‘Poison?!‘ Jaylen’s expression tightened. Without any explanation, he grabbed Maeve’s wrist and took her pulse. “Why is the poison in your body disappearing?” 

“I took the antidote made by Theo. Don’t worry about me. Stop them first,” Maeve explained weakly. 

Jaylen nodded and quickly glanced at the dishes Maeve had touched on the table. In the end, his gaze landed on the plate of stir–fried octopus that she had picked up many times. 

He picked up fork and flipped through it. His expression instantly changed. “There’s a blue–ringed octopus mixed in. 

This dish was the restaurant’s signature dish. Many tables were ordered. 

When Jaylen went over to stop them, several people had already fallen and were foaming at the mouth. 

When the restaurant manager was called over and saw this scene he was dumbfounded. “Our ingredients are all transported back from the seaside every morning. How could there be food poisoning…” 

Jaylen pulled him in front of the plate of stir–fried octopuses. “Look for yourself. A poisonous creature like the blue–ringed octopus is also used to stir–fry for customers. Do you run a restaurant or a hell?” 

The manager was shocked. Trembling, he took out his phone and called an ambulance. 

Maeve immediately vomited when she felt that something was wrong. The poison was relatively mild, and she was still fine after eating the poison. She did not faint like those people. 

There was no way she could ignore the others who’d been poisoned. She forced herself to stand, her legs feeling weak. “I’ve got some more antidotes. I’ll get them for the weak.” 

Jaylen pressed her back down. “Alright, you can’t even stand properly. Why are you still caring about them? Give me the medicine. I brought the golden needles with me. I’ll go.” 

Maeve could only pass the medicine to him. “Please.” 

It was a good celebration banquet, but ended up eating such a poisonous thing. Just thinking about it made Maeve feel aggrieved. 

Poison was mixed into the food, and the restaurant spontaneously sealed the entrance and exit before the police arrived to prevent any complications. 

The ambulance did not arrive for a long time. The manager called many times to urge them, but he found out that there was a car accident on Central Road. The ambulance would not arrive until later. 

It was as if everything bad had happened on this day. 

Fortunately, there was a doctor among the guests who were eating, which solved their urgent problem. 

However, this doctor looked pale and ugly. His condition was not any better than the other guests. The manager began to worry again. 

With Jaylen’s current energy, rescuing three people at once was already his limit. 

There were more than ten people who had food poisoning on the entire second floor. When the people downstairs heard that there was a doctor upstairs, they ran up one after another. 

“Can anyone save my uncle? My uncle is about to die. Someone help… A beautiful woman pushed a man in a wheelchair over from the elevator. She cried, “Where’s the doctor? I can give you a lot of money. Please save my uncle first!”
