The Heir's Secret Bride
Secret Bride 447

Chapter 447

Maeve was asleep, but the nightmare of being struck by a chainsaw jolted her awake twice. Each time, she awoke drenched in cold sweat, her heart racing so violently it felt like it might burst from her chest. She remained silent, not making a sound that would alert Byron Lying on the bed, she took a deep breath to steady herself.

Maeve had improved a little. She did not have nightmares as frequently as before.

Perhaps when the impact of that matter faded in her heart, she would not have such nightmares again.

Maeve comforted herself in her heart. She lay on her side on the phone and looked at the long call on the screen. The corners of her lips curled up secretly.

The next morning, Maeve left the house under the two little ones repeated instructions.

When Maeve arrived at the headquarters, she attended class and drew on time as usual. She went to visit the internal studio with the other people and did not see anything suspicious.

The morning passed quickly, and Maeve found a seat with her plate of meals in hand, slowly eating one bite at a time.

"This is for you. I'm truly sorry for what happened last time." Sandy walked over and offered Maeve a gesture of kindness.

Maeve took a look and asked in confusion, "Qur relationship doesn't seem to be that good, right? You still bring me drinks every day?"

Sandy was a little embarrassed by her words. "I hated you at first, but you didn't put in a good word for me in front of the general manager and ask him not to fire me? You're a good person. I was wrong before." met

Being kicked out of Trazir was what people feared most, even more than having Maeve break their hand.

Trazir's status in the fashion world was extraordinary, and the company had the backing of the royal family. Stepping into that place was equivalent to stepping into the sky in a single step. No one wanted to leave. Maeve finally understood why Sandy started to bring her water that day. It turned out that she had overheard her conversation with Arthur.

It was the second time Sandy had offered her a drink. At that moment, Maeve's eyes briefly flickered as she glanced at the bottle.

"I'm serious. I want to make peace with you. I don't mean anything else." Sandy thought Maeve did not believe her, so she quickly promised, "There's no competition between us. It won't do me any good to target you." "Alright." Maeve took the drink from her and opened it. She paused and asked, "Do you want to take a sip first?"

Sandy thought it was protocol in her country, but refused. "I have another one."

Maeve nodded. She took two sips from the bottle and thanked her with a smile. "It's quite delicious-"

Before Maeve could finish her sentence, the blood drained from Maeve's face. Her lips turned pale, and a trace of blood seeped out from the corner of her mouth. Then, she fell unconscious on the dining table. "Oh my god!"

"Hurry up and call an ambulance! Maeve has fainted!"

"Is it food poisoning? Is there a problem with the food we eat?"

An ambulance and a police car arrived in quick succession. The back kitchen of the restaurant was sealed off, and the food Maeve had handled was seized by the police as crucial evidence for their investigation. Maeve was sent to the hospital. It was found to contain neurotoxins in her body. Fortunately, the amount was not large. She could take medicine to help induce vomiting.

After vomiting, Maeve woke up and saw her beautiful designer friends and Arthur's worried face.

"Maeve, you're awake! Are you alright? You scared me just now!

"I'll get the doctor!"

"How do you feel now? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Maeve shook her head. She sat up and pretended not to know anything. "What's wrong with me?"

Arthur did not look too happy. "You've been poisoned. Sandy, who had a grudge against you before, added a neurotoxin to the drink she gave you. Fortunately, you didn't drink much and nothing serious happened." "Sandy? How could she?" Maeve replied.

"She's probably still holding a grudge against you for what happened last time. Plus, you were at the bottom of the auction yesterday. In the end, your gown was sold at a high price, and she became the last. Her review points were even deducted. Perhaps she was angry and thought wrongly," Arthur guessed.

Maeve kept her eyes down and remained silent. The others assumed she was not feeling well, so they quietly left without disturbing her.

As soon as they left, Maeve looked at the bracelet on her wrist that had turned into a black blue diamond. Her honey-brown eyes were covered in a faint cold light.

Last night, Theo used medicine to soak her bracelet for the entire night. It would immediately change color when it approached the poison.

When Maeve opened the drink Sandy gave him, the bracelet turned black.

Hence, Maeve beat Sandy at her own game and bit her lip to put on that act.

She had already taken the initiative to bite the bait. Next, it was up to Will and Theo.

At the police station, the lawyer entered the interrogation room. No matter how he tried to persuade Sandy, she kept quiet. Occasionally, she would confess.

Her cooperation made the lawyer feel that the matter was even more unusual.

"Sandy, I hope you'll consider whether you want to hide everything for the person behind this and sacrifice the rest of your life. You deliberately murdered the fiancee of Mr. Mcdaniel. Do you think you can resolve this with just a confession?"

"Of course. Miss Sandy is willing to sacrifice herself for others. It's rare. But what will happen to Miss Sandy's family, friends, and even fiancé is not something a lawyer like me can guarantee

The lawyer stood up, fastening his suit jacket, smiling at Sandy over the top of his gold-rimmed glasses. "I'll be on my way now," he said.

The lawyer walked out slowly. Just as his hand was about to touch the doorknob, Sandy's mental defense collapsed behind. her. "Wait, wait, I'll talk, I'll talk! The prerequisite is that you have to guarantee my safety and my family!" About forty minutes later, the lawyer returned to the car and respectfully reported the situation to the kids in the back seat.

Chapter 447

"Fiora is still being punished in the palace, isn't she? How did she contact this person?" Will frowned. He felt that things were not that simple.

Theo took out the lollipop in his mouth and said in disbelief, "Furthermore, someone like her who kidnaps Mommy and threatens her without a word can make such a meticulous plan. D's strange."

The fatal point of a small amount of poison was that it would not immediately take effect. Instead, it would accumulate over time until the person's body collapsed.

It could also cover up the time when the poison was administered.

That did not seem like a way that the reckless princess could grow.

Will saw the saliva at the corner of Theo's mouth from the lollipop. He took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped it clean. He said, "I'm more inclined to believe that there's someone else behind her. The other party hid it too well and didn't leave any traces." The lawyer sitting in front was secretly amazed by their intelligence and sharpness. At the same time, he was curious about how Mr. Mcdaniel usually taught his children.

Two soft and harmless little buns, Bonnie, spoke more maturely than her wild cards who have been wandering in the realm of human hearts and ghosts for years. "Could this be the power of upbringing?"
