The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 300

With a frown, Byron looked at Maeve beside him and spoke in a lowered voice, "Consolidate the specifics and send them to me. Stay put for now."

"Yes,

I'll organize it and send it to you right away," the head of the McDaniel Group's public relations department replied.

Byron hung up the phone and turned to Maeve, who looked puzzled. "I still have something to take care of. Remember to take your stomach pills before bed and don't stay up late. Maeve nodded slowly. "Got it. By the way, let Will and Leo sleep through the night-don't go waking them up."

Byron gave a slight nod, picked up his jacket from the couch, and stood to leave.

The next morning, Maeve woke up to a barrage of frantic messages from Bonnie.

Having a

a best friend who loved to surf the internet for gossip meant Maeve wouldn't be out of touch with the world, even if she didn't go online very often This time, though, it was her own name making the rounds.

Maeve's drowsiness quickly faded as she scrolled through her phone, growing angrier by the second.

Where on earth did they get off accusing me of not supporting them? And even claiming Horace's imprisonment was my fauly? What about the tens of thousands I'd already given them? Did that mean nothing?' Maeve thought angrily.

Fuming, Maeve got out of bed, washed up, made breakfast for the two little ones, and left it on the table before grabbing her bag and heading out.

At the hospital, Valda was awake, sitting up in bed, waiting for Scott to peel an orange for her.

Maeve opened the door and stormed in. "I've already paid for your surgery and medical bills. What the hell are you going to do to leave me alone?"

Scott and Valda exchanged looks. Scott nervously rubbed his hands and stood up. "Maeve, your mom and I didn't have a choice. The money you gave us last time is gone, and we couldn't reach you. We were in a tight spot, so we had to ask for help from some friends online."

"I gave you 120 thousand dollars, and you spent it all?" Maeve's voice rose in disbelief. "The surgery hasn't even been scheduled yet. Where did the money go?"

Valda explained, "Your father's creditors came knocking, and we had to use the money to pay off his debts. We also bought some things for your brother. He's been through a lot in prison. Don't you, as his sister, feel sorry for him?"

Maeve's eyes grew cold. "Did he ever feel sorry for me when he brought those thugs to smash up my studio?" Valda fell silent.

Maeve took a deep breath. "So what about the surgery? Are you not planning to have surgery now?"
