Chapter 334 Upon hearing this, Bryce immediately looked warily at the driver in the rearview mirror.
The driver continued driving and whispered, âMs. Scott, rest assured. Sir simply wishes to see you. Thereâs no malice intended â
âSir?â
In Seathburn City, she didnât know many people. And not many people knew her schedule well enough to replace her driver.
As Maeve pondered, Bryce had already pulled out a utility knife concealed in his sleeve.
Maeve quickly restrained Bryceâs hand holding the knife.
Bryce frowned, and his eyes were filled with concern. But Maeve shook her head at him, The driver didnât seem malicious. The fact that they had managed to covertly switch her driver out indicated that if they wanted her dead, it would be effortless. Since they wanted to see her, they had to have something to say to her.
The night stretched on endlessly, and she decided to meet this âSirâ mentioned by the driver.
Soon, the car stopped at a familiar place.
When Maeve saw the words âHackett Manorâ, she understood.
The person who wanted to see her was Levi Hackett.
âWhereâs the knife? Maeveâs sudden question caught Bryce off guard.
Her features twisted in discomfort as she said, âI donât want to see him.â
Although her interactions with Levi were limited, she knew him to be a deceitful and ruthless person. He could kill a person without hesitation, and he was someone that she couldnât see through.
Every time she saw him, Maeve couldnât shake the image of their first meeting, when he had ordered a woman to be thrown from the second floor From the core of her being, she feared this man. He was full of dark schemes and plots.
âIâll take you away,â Bryce offered straightforwardly. But as they stepped out of the car, they were promptly subdued by two security guards from the Hackett family.
âApologies, M Mr. Grant Mr. Levi wishes to see Ms. Scott alone.â
Bryceâs eyes narrowed, realizing that he couldnât take Maeve away.
Maeve sighed inwardly. Now, she had no choice but to meet Levi, whether she wanted to or not.
Maeve stated, âIâll come with you, but youâre not to harm my people.â
âM&C.
ou and Mr. Grant back.â
Scott, rest assured. Mr. Grant is a VIP, and weâll treat him well. Mr. Levi just wants to talk to you. âYou donât need to be afraid.
When the time comes, weâll have someone escort you The butler was exceedingly polite, and Maeve saw no reason to refuse It was just a meeting. After all, she would not lose her limb But at the thought of facing Levi, Maeve felt it was even worse than losing a limb.
The Hackett Manor looked the same as the last time Maeve visited.
Since the last time she celebrated Sheldonâs birthday, she hadnât visited again. Although she occasionally kept in touch with Sheldon via phone, his recent appearances had been very erratic.
Sometimes he would disappear for long stretches without explanation and Maeve didnât pay much attention to it.
Thinking of Sheldon, Maeve walked behind and asked, âWhereâs Mr. Sheldon? Why isnât he home?â
âHe went abroad a few months ago and hasnât returned,â
âHe went abroad?â Maeve was taken aback. She did not know about this.
