The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 96

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.

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.
