Chapter 278
However, continuing this would definitely affect the studio's reputation.
The bodyguards reported this matter to Byron in detail.
After listening to the whole story, Byron took off the silver-framed glasses on his nose. His pitch-black eyes were as sharp as blades and suffused with a cold luster. "What's her attitude?"
"Ms. Reese was very angry. But she just called the police on the first day. Then she did nothing"
Byron narrowed his dark eyes. "Is that so? Protect her safety. She knows what to do for the rest."Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
No matter how evil Horace was, he was still her younger brother. Perhaps she wanted to end it herself.
At night, Horace was determined to get money from Maeve and came again.
After all, it was just a few days of detention, nothing to be afraid of. How could it be worse than not having money?
This was the second time that he had been released. He thought that Maeve would have to compromise after another two days at most. Then 100 thousand dollars would not be enough and it should double at least.
With this thought in mind, Horace led his men into Dreamspace Studio's building with iron rods hidden in their jackets. They were planning to do something big this time.
The elevator rose and suddenly stopped before vibrating violently. It took nearly ten minutes for it to return to normal.
They cursed as they walked out and headed straight for the studio. They broke the glass door with the rods and rushed in like bandits, smashing everything they saw, Unexpectedly, an ear-piercing alarm suddenly sounded above their heads..
They hurriedly stopped and looked around nervously.
"What's going on? Where did the alarm come from? It didn't even happen yesterday!"
"Fuck, hurry up and leave!"
At that moment, the sound of a bullet being loaded came from the door. "Nobody moves! Put your hands up! Robbing the jewelry store in the middle of the night. You must be tired of living!"
Jewelry store? Horace and his accomplice's faces instantly turned pale. "What jewelry shop? Is this not Maeve's studio?" The chaotic scene appeared completely on Theo's laptop. Maeve sat beside him, eating the fruits and enjoying this farce.
When she saw these gangsters being handcuffed and taken away Maeve was strangely calm. She didn't even know what kind of emotion was appropriate.
"Mommy, isn't this too easy for them?" Canning looked up and asked.
Tm afraid they won't be able to come out in less than three to five years," Maeve said as she hugged the little boy. "It's a sad thing that Will's store has been damaged."
Will's face turned slightly red. Then, he said seriously, "Mommy, money is just a worldly possession. We can still earn more even if we lose it for the time being. Mommy's safety is the most important. I still have a lot of money left. This is not a big deal. "He felt that it was worth it to sacrifice a store for his mother's peace of mind.
Maeve was extremely touched and kissed him on the cheek. "I love you!"
She picked up a Then she took another one and fed it to Theo.
nd strawberry and fed it to V
Theo looked at her, covered his little heart, and asked her pitifully, "Strawberry for me alone?"
"Ah. Will just ate one... Maeve felt weird.
I knew it!" The little guy immediately became a drama queen. That means you don't love me more. At least two for me!"
Maeve laughed out loud and stuffed two strawberries into Theo mouth. "Yes, all for you!"
Theo covered her mouth happily, looking like she was afraid that the strawberries would be snatched away by Theo.
Will looked helpless. When he first saw Theo like this, he was worried that his brother was jealous that Mommy's attention was averted. But it turned out that his brother was just purely dramatic,
Theo suddenly remembered that there was still something she had not given Maeve. Then he immediately took out Byron's card and gave it to her as if he was presenting a treasure to the queen. "Mommy, here you go!" Maeve looked surprised. "Where did you get this?
"I spent a lot of effort to earn this money from Great Demon King!" Theo wiped his mouth and said without any guilt.
Will's round eyes lit up. "How did you do that?" When his father returned from his business trip, he would also earn his father's money to support his mother.
Theo acted like a mysterious annoying lawyer. "This involves trade secrets. If you want to know, you have to first..." Will skillfully took out a note and placed it in his hand. "Is it enough?
"Not bad. Then I'll condescend and teach you something." Theo's raised his chin.
The two little ones gathered together and muttered to each other for a long time.
Maeve found it so funny that Will was so skilled at giving money to other people. How much money did he lose to 1 to have such a spontaneous reaction?
She looked down at the card in her hand and smiled helplessly. Since it was from Byron, she would keep it.
This card looked old with words on the back. Maeve suddenly had a strange feeling in her heart. She seemed to have seen this card somewhere before.
She vaguely remembered that it was her last year in high school. The white orchids on both sides of the gale were blooming,
and then she...
"What happened then? The more Maeve thought about it, the more confused she became. There had never been white orchids in the school. So how did this memory come about?
Not
long after, the verdict of Horace and his accomplices was announced.
They were sentenced to five years in prison and had to compensate the jewelry shop for all the losses. The total amount was more than 600 thousand dollars. Horace probably never predicted that Maeve would move the studio elsewhere during the few days he was in detention in order to get rid of him completely.
The original place was now a jewelry store on the surface. But there were only a few display cabinets as a disguise.
If it was daytime, Horace would have found it and stopped. Unfortunately, people like them always loved lurking in the
dark.
After Horace went in, Scott and Valda's endless calls almost explocled Maeve's phone. The total number of calls made in the past four years was not as many as today.
Since Maeve did not pick up, they checked the official website of Dreamspace and found her new studio's address.
The moment she saw her parents, Maeve was in disbelief as her heart had been knocked heavily. In just four years, they seemed to have aged by more than ten years. Their temples were white with weathered wrinkles. She was almost at a loss. "Dad, Mom, how did you....
"Maeve, I'm begging you. Can you let your brother off? Your father and I only have one son. Do you want to see us die?" Valda's leg went weak, about to kneel on the ground.
