The Heir's Secret Bride

"What did you do?" Maeve asked as she lay on the hospital bed.

Byron explained, "I still have some doubts about the car accident last time. The confessions of the offenders are full of loopholes. I'm not convinced. Getting the members of the Soar family to investigate this case on their own can save us a lot of effort."

Maeve was puzzled. She wondered out loud, "In that case, Aeolian might have been framed. But what if she was the culprit? What if the Soar family destroys the evidence to protect her?"

"That's for the best," Byron said nonchalantly. "I get to send a few more of the Soar family members to jail. They can pay the price for their incompetence in raising Acolian. Maeve choked. She thought, I see. Byron is using entrapment

If the Soar family dared to cover up for Acolian, Byron would take them to court too.

Maeve did not know if this was the right thing to do. However, she knew that the Mcdaniel Group's legal team was fully capable of making Byron's plan a success.

Maeve figured nobody in the Soar family would destroy the evidence or obstruct justice based on Gale and Zephyr's upright personalities.

Maeve took a bite of the apple slice that Byron handed over with a fork. She stared at Byron mischievously and asked. "Didn't you say that you would protect me? Then why didn't you defend me against Adam just now?" "You did so well defending yoursel Byron passed her another slice of apple and teased, "You owned the stage without a

doubt."

She was eloquent. Adam was no match for her at all.

Byron didn't bother to argue with a young boy like Adam.

Maeve recalled the interaction just now and agreed with what Byron had said. She had never performed so well before. She could wake up chuckling in the middle of the night just thinking about how well she did.

For some reason that she had yet to figure out, she was consumed by a sudden anger when Adam scolded her ju now. Her fury surpassed that of when Aeolian provoked her.

She actually wanted to cry because of Adam's words.

She believed she felt so because Adam was too annoying.

Maeve's impression of Adam as an annoying brat deepened.

Perhaps to express his apology, Zephyr sent Maeve a lot of gifts after the incident. He even sent her lots of precious scar removal ointments on the market.

Maeve did not refuse the gifts. Saving Aeolian was not her intention in the first place. She saw no need to pretend to be selfless. She would happily accept the gifts Zephyr gave her.

She thought of the gifts as compensation for her hard work.

However, Theo was not happy. He snorted when he entered the ward with his hands behind his back and saw the mountain of scar removal pintments.

Theo said, "Mommy, do you not love me anymore? You already have the cream I made, yet you're accepting other products. Can any of these ointments be as effective as my cream? Their effectiveness is not even one-tenth of that of my products." Theo stared at Maeve with his eyes widened in anger.

Will picked up a jar of scar removal ointment and studied its list of ingredients. He then said, "The ingredients are alright, but the promised result is indeed not as good as that of the ointment made by Theo. Mom, don't use this."

Theo and Will did not have a good impression of the Soar fam After all, they were the cause of Maeve's injuries.

They disliked everyone in the Soar family except for their pen Galenovelbin

Maeve did not plan to use the ointments sent over by Zephyr to begin with. However, she was armused by the children teaming up to badmouth the Soar family, so she deliberately said. "But I'll get tired of using just one product all the time. I want to try something new." "No! You can't!" Theo jumped up and down in frustration and protested, "These medicines are useless. They will only slow down your recovery time! As a doctor myself, I disagree with your

To the side, Will nodded in agreement with a serious expression. He wanted Maeve to get better soon."

Otherwise, they would keep thinking about her even in kindergarten.

Maeve looked troubled. She said, "I'm in a dilemma. How about this? If you guarantee that you will personally apply the medicine for me every day, then I will only use your products." Theo raised his chin and said, "Sure. What's so difficult about that?"

"Mom, I can help too." Will didn't want to be left out and offered his service. Tm used to operating machines at home. My hands are steady." Theo retorted, "I practice

acupuncture every day. My hands are steadier!

Will said, "I am more patient than you. I can meditate for an entire day without moving

Theo argued, "I can eat the same menu for a week without getting bored. I'm more loyal than you!"

Theo and Will started fighting with each other.

Maeve listened with relish. She wanted to clap for them whenever they made a good point, but her doughnut-like wrists hindered her from doing so. Right then, the phone on the table rang.

Maeve couldn't pick up the phone herself, so she asked for the boys' help.

Only then did they stop fighting and grab the phone for Maeve.

Maeve saw a message from Molly on the screen. Molly said she wanted to meet up with Maeve for a tilk

Maeve did not reply and did not intend to give Molly any attention.

Not long after, Molly sent her more messages,

Are you afraid to meet me? Are you feeling guilty or afraid?]

[Do you know where I am now? I'm in the same hospital as you

G

I'm staying in the ward downstairs. Come and find me when you have made up your mind.]

[I know something you'll definitely be interested in.]

Maeve thought, "What nonsense is she speaking?

Macve yawned and asked Theo to put her phone back on the table. She planned to force the two children to take a nap together with her.

Soon, Maeve's room was filled with laughter and cheerful voices of the two children.

Theo and Will both demanded kisses and hugs from Maeve.

Meanwhile, Aeolian was having a high fever in another ward.

It finally subsided after two days.

Adam and Jaxson were the only ones accompanying Acolian in the ward. Zephyr was busy with work, so he only dropped by once in the afternoon and once in the evening every day.

Ryan had a last-minute shooting and could not spare time to visit Aeolian. He even postponed his appointment with Maeve. Aiden was even busier. He was occupied with his preparation for the next court case. Adam and Jaxson were the only ones in the family who had nothing better to do.

Adam exaggerated what he saw to Jaxson. The more he complained, the more disgusted he became with Maeve

Jaxson also knew that Aeolian and Maeve had some disagreements and did not like each other.

Jaxson found it completely possible for Maeve to take the opportunity to bully Aeolian.

Jaxson said nonchalantly, "If that's the case, then I'll help Aeolian get even."

"What do you plan to do?" Adam sat up straight.

"For example, I can plant an idea in Maeve's subconscious mind and make her embarrass herself during some important occasions, Jaxson suggested in a relaxed manner, as if he was planning what to eat later. Adam hesitated for a moment before saying, "Jaxson, I've always wanted to ask you something"

"What?"

"Are you a counselor or a sorcerer? Is such a ridiculous thing possible?"

Jaxson was speechless.

Jaxson gave Adam a sideways glance and couldn't be bothered to explain the science to him. He said, "Just leave it to me. I promise our little princess will be able to vent her anger." "Okay Adam nodded.

Aeolian was important to the Soar brothers.

Although the Soar brothers and Aeolian did not grow up together or spend a lot of time together, they were connected to each other through a very special bond

Therefore, the Soar brothers would never allow anyone to hurt her.
