The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 551

In Acolian's eyes, Maeve's smugness was nothing more than a re alt of relying on her fiancé, the CEO of the Mcdaniel Group

If Mcdaniel Group collapsed, Aeolian wondered just how long Maeve's arrogance would last.

Therefore, Acolian asked her second brother, who was known as the Justice's Blarle, to help him deal with Medaniel Group.

Aiden had stayed up late the night before, sifting through case les, and his temples were throbbing. After hearing Aeolian's complaint, the pain seemed to intensify.

"According to Article 1033 of the Civil Code, invading someone privacy... carries a penalty of imprisonment or criminal detention for up to three years," Aiden said, his voice steady. "Acelian, if their legal team decides to go after you, you could end up in jail. You were in the wrong from the start

Aeolian, feeling wronged, responded, "So, I'm just supposed to take all the humiliation lying down?"

"What you should do now is apologize to the girl whose privacy you invaded, not focus on revenge," Aiden advised calmly. "You really need to work on your temper. Otherwise, one day you'll pay a much heavier price."

Even though Aiden spoiled his sister, when it came to matters of law, he was clear-headed and unwavering.

"Aiden!" Aeolian couldn't take it anymore, her voice rising in frustration. "Don't you care about me anymore? Why are you saying such embarrassing things?! Fine, I'll leave then!"

With a sharp click, she hung up.

Aiden let out a weary sigh, his lips curling into a rueful smile. He couldn't win with this headstrong sister.

Once he finished his current case, he'd buy a cake to make it up to her.

She might be spoiled, but she wasn't a bad person at heart.

Not far away, Maeve saw him finish his call and walk over. "Aident she said, "I'm going to deliver medicine to Esme's son later. Do you want to come with me? I've already asked her." Aiden raised an eyebrow, surprised. "How did you...?"

"Her son doesn't live far from here, and I was thinking of walking there," Maeve explained.

Aiden felt a wave of warmth in his heart. He couldn't help but develop a soft spot for this girl, who made a living through her art but had a kind heart and an understanding nature. He didn't ask her why again. Nodding, he simply said, "Let's walk then. It's a good day to have a nice stroll

"Okay," she replied.

About ten minutes later, they arrived at the apartment of Esme's son
