Honey, You're a Billionaire by Chandler Solar

Chapter 190 Every man for himself

The voice was soft, but Rose still heard it.

"You said, Madeline..."

Rose remembered that Madeline was also present at yesterday's ball.

Madeline's eyes flickered. She hesitated to betray Maya but eventually shared, "Maya mentioned you're her cousin and have a close bond with Mr. Miles."

Oh?" Rose didn't believe Maya would only say that.

But Rose didn't press for more details. After Madeline left, she got a call and then left Celeste Jewels with a pair of earrings she designed.

Since the morning, Maya had been waiting for Madeline's call.

After befriending the daughter of the Chambers family, she felt she had a chance for a leap forward. -She intended to use her connections with Madeline to get close to Howard.

If she tied the knot with Howard, even Kelly would have to show her some respect. Upon learning that Howard had gone to the shooting range, Maya followed suit.

As Howard exited the shooting range, she quickly closed the distance, seizing the moment as Howard's car drew near. With an apparent lack of fear, Maya entered the road as the car approached. With a screech of brakes, the car came to a stop inches away from Maya. Luckily, it was a close call. Maya saw Howard hastily open the car door and get out. Her body went limp, and she fainted on the ground. "Miss? Wake up..." Howard called out several times with no response.

He then picked her up and placed her in the car, heading straight to the hospital. After a thorough examination, there was no sign of injury.

"Perhaps she fainted from the shock," the doctor concluded.

Howard frowned. Since she hadn't awakened, he could only wait at the hospital.

Considering the planned coffee shop rendezvous with Rose, he had to alter the venue and forward a new address to her.

After a while, Maya woke up. Seeing Howard sitting on a chair, she immediately began acting. She made a slight sound to attract Howard's attention.
