Maeve could immediately tell that it was Zayl’s work phone, which rarely received messages.

The message must have been about Zion to make Zayla so nervous.

Zayla sweated profusely as she handed the phone to Maeve.

Spencer family’s tonight.

Maeve glanced at the screen and saw a brief message from Charlie. “There’s a handover ceremony going on at the 5 Make sure to keep it from Maeve.”

One glance was all it took for Magve to understand the gravity of the situation.

Zion had been back for a few days, and Kurt had announced that Zion would take over the family.

However, the handover ceremony had yet to happen.

She had been puzzled about this before, but now it made sense Zion had ordered for the information to be kept from her.

“Ms. Scott, Maeve responded coldly, “Zayla, I hope that hope that you unde understand that you work for me. I’m the one who pays your salary, not Charlie or Zion.”

“Yes... Ms. Scott.” Zayla replied as beads of sweat formed on her forehead.

Maeve continued, “If this happens again, you can forget about working at Mirage Group. Maybe you’d prefer going back to Zion, your old boss?

“Ms. Scott!” Zayla’s head shot up and looked at Marve e. “I swear, there won’t be a next time.”

The handover of authority within the Spencer family was far too important for Kurt not to invite her.

“Hush!” Charlie covered Lyra’s mouth, but she swatted his hand and frowned. “What’s the matter?”

“They didn’t inform Maeve about the ceremony at all. You’d better not mess things up, I’m telling you. She can’t show up today!”

“Why?” Lyra kicked Charlie angrily. “Charlie, how could you and Zee keep this from Mavy? Don’t you know how important today’s ceremony is?”

“Ouch! That hurts!” Charlie held his foot and said, “Can’t vo you be gentler? 1 can explain!”

“I don’t wanna hear your explanation! I’ll call and find out myself!” Lyra pulled out her phone and was ready to dial it. However, Intervened, “It’s because Serena’s back!

Charlie Lyra hesitated with her finger hovering over the dial pal. “Serena? What’s she doing here in in Seathburn?‘

“How should I know? Don’t ask me!” Charlie’s eyes darted away.

Lyra noticed something amiss. “Did something happen when you and Zion went abroad?”

“Nothing! Absolutely nothing! Don’t jump to conclusions, and for heaven’s sake, don’t mention anything to Maeve!”
