The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 99

Maeve thought, 'I don't want to know why I'm always the one getting the short end of the stick and giving in. It's not like I just found out how domineering he can be. I can only go along with it! "Nothing much," Byron said casually. "I want a continental breakfast tomorrow." Maeve was at a loss for words.

She thought, 'I've just been too busy these past few days, always making him have the milk and cereal from the place downstairs. Does he really have to tease me like this?' Alright, alright, alright. I'll make it for you for a week." Maeve agreed repeatedly. "Hurry up and let go. My bath water is getting cold."

These words made Byron's dark eyes narrow suddenly. He tightened his grip on her wrist.

"You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

He thought, 'I was ready to let her off, but she still deliberately said suggestive things to tease me. Once the passion is ignited, she doesn't care to cool it down.'

Recalling what he said earlier, Maeve's eyes showed frustration.

'How am I heartless?' she thought. 'Had I been heartless, would I have even agreed to make him continental breakfast for a week? I should have let him have milk and cereal every day.' What happened that day at the coffee party had more or less spread.

Out of guilt and fear of Maeve, the socialites did not dare to openly and extensively share all the specifics of the incident. They only spread some of Karen's amusing things as entertainment. But the video that Karen secretly recorded still ended up on Byron's desk.

After watching it, Byron's expression was cold. The pen in his hand tapped a folder irregularly.

Again and again, the faint sound made Karen's back tremble.

She said.

said, "Byron, let me explain... There's a reason why I did that. Besides, you were the one who said that Maeve was your maid, so I misunderstood that she was seducing you..." "What Maeve is to me has nothing to do with you," Byron said, his sharp gaze landing on her face. "Ms. Booth, you've crossed the line."
