The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 74

6B

After everyone left after work, Maeve remained in the studio alene. She didn't leave the company until 11:30 pm. She stood alone on the empty roadside and waited for a taxi. She could not help but hug her jacket and secretly pray that a taxi would

come soon

However, the taxi did not come. Instead, the persistent Jeff appeared. "Maeve, why aren't you home yet? It's dangerous to stay out so late." He looked worried. "Let me send you home. How long will you have to wait otherwise?" However, compared to what might happened, Jeff was the real danger to Maeve. Especially since he had almost forced her

before.

Maeve stepped back and looked around anxiously. There wasn't single car. If Jeff wanted to do anything to her, it would be useless even if she shouted. When she saw Jell get out of the car and walk over to her, the alarmn in Maeve's mind immediately sounded. "It's so cold out here. Isn't it better to get into my car?" Jell said as he grabbed Maeve's arm. "I won't hurt you. Why are you so afraid of me?" As he spoke, he pulled Maeve into the car.

"Don't touch me Maeve pushed at Jeff in fear. She was very tense.

At this moment, her sharp eyes caught sight of a car driving over not far away. She had an idea and pretended to be calm as she said to Jeff, "I don't need you to send me home. Do you see that car? My husband is here to pick me up.'

Jeff looked over and did not believe it at all. He already knew that Maeve had a fake marriage, yet she still wanted to use her husband to deceive him. Moreover, such a lousy car could not compare to his Ferrari.

"Whatever. Just be good and get in the car with me... Ah!" Before Jeff could finish, the hand holding Maeve suddenly stung. forcing him to let go at once.

Maeve ran to the car without hesitation. She was extremely glad that she had a bead needle with her. Otherwise, she might not have escaped. She rushed forward and knocked on the car window, wondering how to ask the driver for help. Unexpectedly, after the car window rolled down, she saw the handsome man sitting in the driver's seat. "Mr. Mcdaniel?" Maeve's eyes widened in joy. "Why are you here?" She didn't even notice the color of this car just now. It was the same color as Byron's new car.

I just happened to pass by." Byron looked at Maeve's surprised expression and said in a surprisingly calm voice, "What are you doing wandering around so late at night?"

However, in the end, she couldn't ask. She didn't want to embarrass herself. Maeve pursed her lips and cast aside her frustration. She lowered her head to find a tissue to
