The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 258

Have I misunderstood Byron all along? Maeve thought.

Stunned into silence, it was as though a thick fog had rolled into her chest, clouding her thoughts and draining her

emotions

Alexis continued, "I'm not telling you this to pressure you into agreeing to help us put on an act, I just think that you're very lucky. Byron takes after his grandfather, not his father.

"After you left, not only did Byron call off his engagement party with Lynn, but he's also been searching for you ever since. Despite all his father's threats and coercion, Byron refused to marry Lynn, and even now, she's only his fiancée.

At this point, Alexis suddenly understood why she disliked Maeve so much.

Maeve had also married into the Mcdaniel family, but Maeve was much luckier than her.

as on par with his grandfather's, a true master of strategy. However, Byron Maeve had wed a man whose business savvy was lacked the emotional detachment and indifference that characterized his father; unlike his father, he valued his wife deeply. Maeve struggled to pull her thoughts back. At the thought of Byron's upcoming wedding to Lynn, Maeve gradually recomposed herself.

Even if what Alexis said was true, it was impossible for her and Byron to get back together.

Hence, there was no point in saying anything more.

Besides, Maeve had not forgotten how Byron had pressured her into the operating room and forced her to have an abortion.

However, she could not deny that hearing that Byron had always been on her side and trusted her unconditionally brought her an immense happiness she had never felt before.

However, that was all

It was no longer possible between them

Maeve stood up to get some fresh air in the hallway and felt a slight pain at the corner of her mouth. She must have bitten down too hard and broken the skin, so she headed to the restroom1. Suddenly, her phone started ringing from inside her bag

After drying her hands, Maeve took out her phone and saw i I was an incoming call from Byron.

Her lips tightened slightly, and she felt a mix of nostalgia and hestation, making her reluctant to press the answer button. Maeve took a deep breath, ready to press the answer button when a sudden gust of cold wind swept past her.

Before she could turn around, a sharp pain pierced her neck, and darkness engulfed her. She collapsed to the ground.
