The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 301

Karen shot to her feet, violently gripping the window bars as she cursed angrily. "Nonsense! How could my family go bankrupt?"

If my family went bankrupt, how would I survive once I got out of here?' she thought.

The reason Karen was so fearless, even locked up in a detention center, was because she had absolute confidence that her pampered life would continue once she was released.

Compared to being caged by Neville, being put in jail was nothing big deal.

But she could never have imagined that the Booth Group would actually go out of business.

Maeve sat silently, her gaze unwavering as she watched Karen break down and shout. There wasn't the slightest flicker of emotion in her eyes.

"What? Is this too much for you to handle? I thought you'd appreciate this gift from me," she said, her tone cool.

After all, she had played no small role in the Booth Group's downfall.

Karen glared at her with bloodshot eyes, seething, "You bitch! Maeve, you're a complete bitch!"

Maeve's expression remained amused. "It seems you've run out of civil words," she said, standing slowly, a faint smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "This will be the last time we see each other. So, I'll wish you luck in your future endeavors."

That last remark pushed Karen over the edge. She pounded the window, her desire to tear Maeve apart burning through her veins. "You bastard! You won't get away with this!"

At the word "bastard", Maeve hesitated, frowning as she looked back. 'What did Karen mean by that?' she thought.

Maeve wanted to ask, but the police were already restraining Karen.

Shrugging off the thought, Maeve didn't give it a second consideration and walked out.

It seemed that her parents wouldn't be able to get the final payment from Karen.

Meanwhile, in the McDaniel Group's top-floor office, after Archer watched the video, cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

He hurried to defend himself. "Mr. McDaniel, on the day Ms. Reese left the detention center, I was at home sick. I didn't go anywhere! Though I don't have any witnesses, the surveillance at my house can prove I didn't leave. It might be difficult to retrieve after four years, but please give me some time to prove my innocence!"

Archer's entire body trembled like a frightened dog.

'No wonder I always feel I've offended Ms. Reese-that's why!' he thought.

He was just an employee. How could he have dared to falsify an order to force the president's wife into an abortion?
