The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 140

"What? Do you have evidence?" Maeve's pupils shrank slightly and immediately retorted when she realized that

the kidnapper was lying

"Tve kept the phone records and recordings. They're on my phone. They've already checked it." The kidnapper

sneered. "I was captured and ended up like this. Do you think you, the mastermind, can escape?"

"You're really good at spouting nonsensel" Maeve was so angry that she almost laughed. However, when she

heard the voice recording played by the bodyguard, her eyes opened wide in disbelief.

Maeve heard, "I'll send you photos of Karen Booth later. Don't get the wrong person. You have to destroy her

completely. You can do whatever you want. I'm the wife of the CEO of the Medaniel Group. After this is done,

you'll get what you want." That was clearly Maeve's voice.

She wondered "How did that happen?"

She clearly did not say these words.

"This recording is created digitally," Maeve analyzed calmly. "Am | stupid enough to reveal my identity to the

kidnappers. leaving them leverage over me?"

"We've verified this recording and confirmed that it's authentic." The bodyguard turned off the recording. "Karen

Booth fainted from crying because of this. Mr.Mcdaniel is currently taking care of her and doesn't have tto

deal with you. So you'll stay here till you admit that you are the mastermind."

Maeve's face suddenly turned pale.

She had agreed to meet Linds tomorrow for an exclusive interview. That was a rare opportunity, and she could

not miss it. However, Byron wanted her to confess to something she did not do. Maeve would not do it.

She was also a victim. She should not be accused of being the perpetrator,

Then, the bodyguards left. The basement door blocked out the last bit of light.

Maeve's heart sank bit by bit. She could not believe that Byron took the kidnapper's words for real. He didn't

even have the patience to ask her himself.

Byron knew that she was claustrophobic and was afraid of the dark, but he still locked her in this small and dark

basement.

Maeve looked up at the railings around her and realized that this place was no different from an iron cage that

used to keep animals.

It was just a little bigger.

The kidnappers at the side were still yelling at the top of their lungs. The sound constantly tormented Maeve's

nerves in the endless darkness.

Maeve subconsciously looked for her phone in her bag, but she found nothing.

The bodyguard must have taken her bag when he pushed her in

Maeve closed her eyes and felt cold all over.

She thought, Byron, did you really do it?"

Chapter 140

It seemed that a century had passed.

The basement door opened, and Maeve immediately opened her eyes.

This time, it wasn't the bodyguards, but...

"I have something to tell Macve Reese. Can you wait forhere for a while? Karen's voice cfrom the stairs

in front of the basement.

The voice that followed sent a chill down Maeve's spine.

"There's no need to waste too much twith her. I'm worried that she will hurt you again," Byron said coldly.

Karen said gently, "There are bodyguards. It'll be fine."

"Okay."

A moment later, Karen walked in and stopped in front of Maeve's iron cage. She ordered the bodyguard, "Open

the door."

Yes.

Maeve looked in the direction of the basement entrance in a daze. Her heart instantly felt like it was being

grabbed by a big hand, and she felt hurt terribly.

Karen stood in front of Maeve and said condescendingly, "Maeve Reese, I've discussed with Byron. As long as

you're willing to turn yourself in and confess, | won't pursue your subsequent responsibility and you'll get a

lesser jail term. You should be grateful." "In your dreams." As she had not drunk water for a long time, Maeve's

throat was extremely dry. Her eyes were cold. "Ask Byron to tellpersonally."

"I'm afraid that won't do. Byron feels disgusted just looking at you now." Karen said.

Karen squatted down and grabbed Maeve's hair. Seeing Maeve frown in pain, Karen said viciously, Tasked you to

turn yourself in because of Byron, do you know that?

"You've causedso much trouble, yet you still dare to smash the cup in front ofand threaten me? I think

you have n shame!

"If you know what's good for you, apologize tonow and confess. Slap yourself and say that you're a bitch

who only knows how to seduce men!"

Karen pulled Maque's hair till her scalp hurt. Her temples hurt, but her mouth was tightly shut, and she did not

make a sound

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Karen's eyes. She grabbed Maeve's head and slammed her against the

railings. Maeve's forehead collided with the iron bars, emitting a sound that made one's ears tingle.

The intense pain spread from Maeve's forehead to her limbs and bones. She felt dizzy, and everything she saw

was red. It was as if her forehead had cracked open and she started bleeding. Maeve was in a lot of pain.

Even so, Maeve bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from showing any signs of weakness.

"This is the consequence of opposing me," Karen sneered. She deliberately used her long nails and swiped them

down Maeve's face.

Maeve felt a sharp pain across her face. She was actually numb from the pain. Now she started to tremble and

curl up.

There was a very deep cut across Maeve's face.

When Karen retracted her hand, Macve's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. She used the last bit of her strength to

slam into Karen's face.

"Ouch!" Karen was caught off guard and fell to the side. She felt an unbearable pain as if her nose was

shattered. She could even feel the blood flowing down.

Maeve gasped and fell to the cold floor. She looked in the direction of Karen in the darkness and scoffed

hoarsely, "Karen Booth, you'd better sendto the police station now and never letout for the rest of my

life. "Otherwise, I'll beat you up every t| see you in the future. I'll pay you back for the pain you inflicted on
