The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 100

Maeve frowned and said, "I'm very busy now and don't have time to meet Mrs. Mcdaniel with you. Besides, I don't think there's a need for me to see her. I'm going to get back to work. Feel free to do as you please." With that said, Maeve returned to the dressing room without a moment's pause.

Karen looked at Maeve's back gloomily. Then, she turned around in her high heels and left, returning to the VIP box on the second floor.

She walked up to Alexis, who was wearing gold-rimmed sunglasses and sitting on a long sofa, and said awkwardly, "Alexis, Maeve said she doesn't have time to see you and doesn't want to see you. She asked you not to disturb her..."

Hearing this, Alexis took off her sunglasses, her expression extremely displeased. "Who does she think she is?" she said. "She doesn't even have the most basic manners toward elders. Someone from a common background just lacks proper upbringing." Karen appeared disappointed. "If she could instigate Byron to suspend me, then it's likely that she doesn't regard you with much respect."

Because the Booth family once adopted Byron, Alexis had always had much liking for Karen.

She couldn't bear to see her in such a state now.

"Byron is in the wrong this time. I'll help you talk to him when I have the chance."

"Thank you, Alexis." Karen forced a smile. "I'm just a little worried that your relationship with Maeve will worsen as you and Maeve don't get along. After all, Maeve doesn't look easy to get along with..."

As soon as Karen said these words, Alexis pursed her lips, and there was a hint of disgust in her eyes.

She thought of the two encounters in which she interacted with Maeve. She found Maeve sharp-tongued with a rude attitude, showing no respect or obedience to an elder like her.

'As a maid, she is already unqualified, so how could she be worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the Mcdaniel family then?" she thought. 'I have no idea what trouble this kind of woman would cause after marrying into the Mcdaniel family. Alexis was dispirited, but she said, "Byron is my son after all. As an outsider, she is nothing."

"Alexis, you're right." Karen stopped the discussion about Maeve's character at the point that she thought was right. Feigning indifference, she then said, "Look, the fashion show has begun. I heard that Maeve's design will be the last to appear. It definitely won't disappoint you."

Alexis's expression was indifferent. "Let's hope so."

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the dressing room was frighteningly tense.

After the assistant opened Maeve's boxes containing the gowns, she noticed that they were empty.

Maeve searched the dressing room thoroughly but could not find the gowns.
