The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 329

Byron was in a meeting when his phone, tucked away in the drawer, lit up. He glanced at it briefly, but the moment he saw the screen, his mood shifted-instantly cold.

The head of the Project Planning Department was talking about the project's progress when he noticed the change in Byron's demeanor. His voice started to shake, and he stumbled over his words, even messing up an important figure. Byron's eyes snapped up, cold and sharp. "Mr. Landon, why don't you just hand our company over to the competition? Why waste hundreds of millions?"

"S-Sorry, Mr. Mcdaniel. I got that wrong" Nicholas Landon stammered, visibly sweating as he tried to fix his mistake.

When the meeting finally wrapped up, Byron stood and walked out without a word. The rest of the team stayed seated, letting out deep breaths like they had just survived a near-death experience.

"Man. I forgot how intimidating he can be. Thank God it wasn't my turn to report," one of them said.

"He's been in a bad mood the last couple of days. Just be careful

"Isn't being in love supposed to make him softer? I don't even want to go near him unless he's in a good mood."

"Maybe he's having a fight with his girlfriend. Happens to everyone, right?"

They all sighed, quietly hoping their boss and his girlfriend would work things out soon, so they wouldn't have to keep walking on eggshells.

Back in his office, Byron sat down and clicked on the message he had just received on his phone.

Back in his office, Byron sat down, pulled out his phone, and opened the messages. Two texts from Serena, and above them, a photo.

In it, Maeve was in an antique shop, leaning toward a guy in a wheelchair, smiling as he gently tucked a hairpin into her hair. His expression was soft, full of warmth like they were a couple deeply in love.

Byron's handsome face was dark as storm clouds, a deep frown etched across his brow. The corners of his mouth turned down in a scowl, enough to send shivers down anyone's spine.

In a sudden fit of frustration, he crushed the edge of his phone screen. A shard of glass dug into his fingertip, blood seeping out and pooling on the marble desk.
