The Heir's Secret Bride
Secret Bride 584

Chapter 584

Following the controversy, the legal department of the McDani Group took action, suing Molly for defamation and damage to reputation. With this move, Molly became a complet joke. [Just like how I dream that my boyfriend is a world tycoon, Molly must have been possessed to think that Mr. Mcdaniel is her boyfriend.]

[She should have some self-awareness.]

[She's delusional, but slandering Maeve as a homewrecker is just too malicious. Why should their genuine relationship be tainted by her baseless accusations?]

[How do you guys know that Maeve is innocent? What if this is her scheme? I think Mr. Mcdaniel is just playing around. He might not marry her.]

[Maeve's identity is not worthy of Mr. Mcdaniel. The more prominent the family, the more they value background and lineage.]

[He's just playing around. We all know.]

This kind of harsh criticism was not uncommon, but it was all drowned out by the overwhelming cheers of the fans shipping the couple.

Maeve found it quite fascinating and leaned over to Byron, saying, "Ronny, can you believe we have fans shipping us as a couple? And there are quite a few of them!" Byron did not pay attention to the fans. She was too close and half of her body was leaning against his chest. His lower abdomen could not help but tense up.

He composed himself. "Fans shipping us as a couple?"

"That's it. They even gave us a name called Mayron," Maeve said happily. "I am before you. It is verified by the netizens."

Byron's gaze instantly became deep. His arm quietly wrapped around her waist. "You like it before me so much?"

"Of course, it makes me look better than you." In reality, she couldn't beat him, so it wasn't bad to beat him in the name.

Maeve, who was immersed in joy, did not notice that Byron was looking at her with a meaningful gaze. She felt something tighten around her waist. Then, she fell onto Byron. "What are you doing?" She struggled a little.

Byron asked, "The last time you came to Rose Mansion to look for me, did you really not stay there overnight?"

A hint of sadness appeared in Maeve's eyes. She turned around and wanted to deny it, but Byron grabbed her chin and pulled her back.

She glared at him in frustration. His attitude brooke no resistance. "Answer me honestly. Try lying to me again."

Maeve bit her lip, wondering why he was so annoying, forcing her to face what she did not want to face. 'Isn't it good to forget everything and pretend that nothing had happened? "Yes. I didn't leave that night and even went to your room, alright?" Maeve said in despair.

Byron asked again. "Why did you lie to me in the beginning?"

"Because you were calling Molly's name!" Maeve went berserk at the mention of this. "You dragged me to the bed and started doing it without saying a word. You tortured me until my bones most fell apart. When I woke up and heard you call her name in my dream, I was so mad!"

Byron swallowed and did not expect it to be for such a ridiculous reason.

"Maeve, I did call Molly's name that night. When the drug wore off, my consciousness was slowly waking up. I have an impression of this." He said word by word, "I was saying that Molly should be arrested first because she was very suspicious. Why didn't you hear the whole sentence back then?"

Maeve was stunned. That morning, Byron's lips were indeed still moving after he said Molly's name. However, she was so angry that she couldn't listen to anything else.

'So... has the thorn in my heart never existed from the beginning' she wondered.

Seeing her blink erratically with a guilty expression, Byron ruffled her hair, saying, "Try keeping everything to yourself again. Every time you hold something in, I'll punish you until you can't keep your mouth shut even if you wanted to." Upon hearing that word, Maeve was so embarrassed that her ears heated up. "I didn't do it on purpose. You made me misunderstand first."

Byron sneered. "My mistake was that I pitied you too much that night and didn't make you unable to get up the next morning." This way, she wouldn't have the energy to let her imagination run wild.

Maeve closed her eyes angrily. She felt a warm touch on her earlobe and her heart skipped a beat. "Don't..."

"Are you not returning to Mapledeta tonight, huh?" Byron's hoarse voice bewitched her.

Maeve sensed his intentions. Her face was as red as fire, and her heart was beating like a drumbeat. She was at a loss.

"No, I have to go back to Mapledeca to accompany my father before the banquet. I still have a lot of questions to ask him, but I haven't had the chance." Maeve resisted the temptation. Byron was silent for a moment. "I'll go back with you."

Maeve was puzzled. "Huh?"

"To see your father."

Half an hour later, they were in Mapledeca.

In this world, any old father, when faced with a man coveting the little rose in his own garden, would never show a pleasant face, especially after the Molly incident today.

"Are you Maeve's friend? Welcome to our house." Gale sat in a wheelchair. His cold expression was dignified, making people not dare to be rash.

As soon as he spoke, he gave Byron a stern warning to put him in his place.

Byron nodded slightly. "Hello, Mr. Soar. I'm Maeve's boyfriend, Byron. I took the liberty to visit you tonight. I hope it's not abrupt."

Gale said, "Maeve is still young. It doesn't matter if she has a boyfriend or not. It's fine if she's happy to play."

"We're dating on the premise of marriage," said Byron.

Gale spoke up. "She's still young and insensible. She needs me to check on her marriage. Otherwise, some people will think

that she's innocent and often lie to her with

sweings."

Byron replied, "You're right. I'll definitely protect her from now on and prevent such people from getting close to her."

The two exchanged words back and forth, maintaining a facade of politeness and harmony in their conversation. In reality, each remark was like a cold dagger, poised to strike at any moment.

Byron was polite on account that Gale was Maeve's father. His domineering aura did not change.

It was even more impossible for Gale to have a good attitude toward the brat who wanted to marry his precious daughter. He took on a posture that was even stricter than training the troops. Even Satan would have to show him some respect. However, for the sake of Maeve, Gale did not make things too difficult for Byron. Anyway, it was still too early to get married.

Maeve sent Byron out and whispered to him, "I was really afraid that you guys would suddenly pull out your guns and hit each other." The atmosphere was so intense.

Byron laughed. "He's your father. It's normal for him to dislike me. If he really wants to do something, it won't be to that extent."

It was obvious that Gale doted on Maeve. Even when putting him in his place, it was done with consideration for Maeve's feelings.

"Furthermore," Byron raised his hand and pressed it on the top of Maeve's head. He leaned to the side and whispered into her ear, "You have a stern but loving father that you expected. I'm happy for you."

Maeve's heart skipped a beat as his faint breath grazed her ear, causing it to heat up and the warmth spread all the way to her heart, tugging at her eyes which began to feel sore and swollen.
